Frequently Asked Questions
Microblading
What is Microblading?
Microblading is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that fills in thin eyebrow areas to make them look fuller. Unlike a traditional tattoo, which is permanent, the coloring from microblading may last for up to 3 years. This is because microblading uses different tools and a smaller amount of pigment.
Is microblading safe?
Since microblading breaks the skin, there is a risk for transmission of infectious diseases and bacterial skin infections. All of our equipment is sterilized before the procedure has even started to avoid any infectious complications. If you are pregnant we will not be able to perform this service.
How should I prepare for microblading?
Keep the following guidelines in mind before scheduling your appointment:
Avoid caffeine beverages or alcohol on the day of the procedure.
Avoid tinting brows before the appointment.
No tanning or sunbathing for 3 days before the appointment.
No waxing or plucking eyebrows within 2 days beforehand.
No chemical peels and other intense facial treatments for at least 2 to 3 weeks before the procedure.
Wash and style hair before the procedure, as the brows must not come into contact with water for at least 7 days.
