Semi Permanent Make Up

Microblading Q&A

• ARE ALL YOUR TECHNICIANS CERTIFIED?

Yes! All our specialists are certified permanent makeup artists and insured. We are trained in all the newest eyebrow application techniques and trends so you will always find something that suits your needs.

• WHAT KIND OF PIGMENT IS USED IN COSMETIC TATTOOING?

Our Cosmetic Tattoo Pigments are safe to use and are created to slowly fade over time. We use only the highest quality natural plant color of FDA approved ingredients as well as disposable sterile needles.

• WILL IT HURT?

An effective topical anesthetic is used to maximize your comfort during the cosmetic procedure, however pain tolerance varies from client to client. Receiving the procedure during your menstrual cycle may increase your sensitivity which we don’t recommend.

• WHAT FACTORS WILL AFFECT MY COSMETIC TATTOO?
  • Bleeding during the procedure: Excessive bleeding during your procedure will greatly affect how your body retains pigment. While this is not entirely in our control, it is important that you follow our prepare instructions to help minimize bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinning medications and alcohol before your procedure.
  • Oily Skin: Increased oil production can cause hair strokes to blur and heal lighter and more powdery than you would expect. Loss of color will be more prominent and touch-ups are needed more frequently.
  • Anemia or iron deficiency: Your body will absorb these iron based pigments more quickly.
  • Sun exposure: Increased exposure to the sun will cause color fading.
• IS MICROBLADING RIGHT FOR ME?

Microblading heals best on normal to dry skin types. Microblading may not work well on clients with more oily skin types. On those with oily skin types results may appear softer and more powdery. However, we will suggest a Powder effect technique for those who do have more oily skin and results will be just as stunning.

• DO I NEED A CONSULTATION BEFORE GETTING MICROBLADING?

While not required, consultations are free of charge and offered to anyone who would like to discuss their eyebrow before the processing.

• HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?The initial session takes approximately 45 mins to 60 mins for the whole process. We spend the first 30 mins for eyebrow designing discuss and anesthetic apply. The follow-up retouch normally within 4-6 weeks.
• WILL IT LOOK NATURAL?Absolutely! The technique simulated hair strokes that look just like real hair! Your brows can be as big and bold or as soft and subtle as you like!
• HOW LONG WILL MICROBLADING LAST?Microblading is semi-permanent cosmetics and usually it last 6 months to 2 years time as depends on individual skin type and lifestyle. The pigments are designed to fade over time naturally and will not leave your brows looking blue or red like old conventional tattoos. For best results, it is recommended that you follow our aftercare instructions and touch-up every 1-2 years or as often as needed. Microblading requires touch-ups sessions are normal and expected.

 

 

*Please note that final results cannot be guaranteed as everyone retains and breaks down pigment differently and follow-up appointments are recommended at 4-6 weeks so we can assess and make any changes necessary to your new semi-permanent brows.
