Microblading eyebrows is a semi-permanent makeup treatment to make your eyebrows look fuller. It is not permanent like traditional tattooing and lasts anywhere from 1 to 2 years, depending on skin type and skincare routine.
The treatment is done manually using a hand tool with ultra fine needles to draw hair strokes on your eyebrows; strategically etching in spots to create natural shape and fullness in your brows.

Does eyebrow Microblading hurt?

The procedure will hurt a bit, ranging from mild to none. A topical anesthetic agent is applied to numb your eyebrows prior to the microblading process to manage the pain. Everyone responds to anesthetic differently and has a different pain tolerance. Some customers have described the feeling as tiny papercuts or light cat scratches.

Note: Topical anesthetics used may contain lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine.

How long does Microblading take?

A session usually takes 2 to 3 hours, varying for each PMU artists. The session consists of facial examination to determine optimal brow shape, custom pigment colour matching and the treatment itself.

How does Microblading work?

It works by depositing colored pigment underneath the skin with a manual handheld tool. Each hair stroke lightly cuts the skin and makes the pigment deposits.

How long does it take to heal?

It usually takes 1-2 weeks for the eyebrows to heal over and 1 month for the color to fully set in.
As part of the healing process, the area around your brows may swell mildy and appear slightly red and your eyebrows will appear darker. Rest assure this is normal, your brows will lighten up quickly within the week. Please see aftercare instructions below.

Is Microblading eyebrows the same as tattooing?

No they're not the same, Microblading is semi-permanent (pigment starts to fade after a year or so) while tattooing is permanent, it is there for life.
We do NOT recommend tattooing your eyebrows because the ink used in tattoos is different from pigment used in microblading.
When tattoo ink fades, the color usually changes to a green/blue tint which is not desired for the eyebrows. On the other hand, microblading pigment fades to a lighter shade of the same color.
