Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that uses tattooing to shape and fill in thin eyebrows. While traditional tattoos are permanent, different tools and a smaller amount of pigment mean microblading may last for up to three years. Our licensed and certified esthetician will use a microblade and artistry to create the illusion of real hairs - resulting in beautiful, full brows.

Instructions for microblading
What do I need to do before my treatment?
To maximize the desired results from the microblading and to minimize risk we request that you:
Discontinue vitamin A (Retinol) and Botox treatments for at least 1 month beforehand.
Stop taking fish oil or any other natural blood thinners, such as vitamin E, at least 1 week before the procedure.
Avoid aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (as these types of medications are blood thinners).
Do not work out the day of the appointment.
Avoid caffeinated beverages or alcohol on the day of the procedure
Do not tint brows before the appointment.
Avoid tanning or sunbathing for 3 days before the appointment.
Do not wax or pluck eyebrows within 2 days beforehand.
Do not use chemical peels and other intense facial treatments for at least two to three 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.
What do I need to do after my treatment?
After the microblading procedure your eyebrows may appear darker for up to one week. They may also feel sharper as a result of scabbing and healing. Some redness and mild swelling is normal. We recommend the following care of your brows following the procedure:
Gently wash over the eyebrows with a fingertip, using antibacterial soap and water for about 10 seconds, rinsing, and then patting dry.
Use a minimal amount of moisturizing ointment.
Keep the brows away from water for 7–10 days, which includes not taking long showers or swimming.
Avoid putting makeup on the brow area while it is actively healing to keep the area as clean as possible.
Do not pick at the scabs.
Avoid direct sunlight or tanning for at least two weeks after the procedure.
Do not use facial scrubs or peels for at least 4 weeks after the procedure.
Do not sleep on the face for at least 10 days after the procedure.
