Q: Why is Microblading not for everyone?

A: Depending on your skin’s texture (large pores, rough, bumpy, rashy, oily, dry, elasticity and thickness) it may not be the best technique for you. A technique like a "Manual Nanostroke" may be more suitable. Although, doing a Microblading slow build has a very high possibility to achieve great results. 

​

Q: Isn't everyones Microblading the same, only different prices?

A: Every artist has their own style. Please do your own research to make sure my style fits your expectations for your brows. 

 

Q: How many sessions do I need?

A: Microblading is a PROCESS and may take multiple sessions depending on how your own individual skin heals to reach desired brow expectations. (see microblading price list page). 

​

Q: When are my Brows fully healed?

A: Brows are fully healed at 8-10 wks after the last Touch Up session is done, so please do not freak out about anything until you hit this time stamp. A full healing process is explained in consent forms, consultations and prior to procedure. 

​

Q: What is Microblading?

A: Microblading is a unique permanent manual technique.  It’s done by using a hand held manual tool with a tiny disposable fixed blade with needles. (The individual needles are 1/3 the size of a traditional tattoo needle) The tool is dipped in pigment to create a fine and natural looking hair stroke. The tiny needles do not penetrate to the deepest skin layer (like a machine tattoo), only etching the very top layer. Depending on: skin type, after care, daily activity, medications and individual skin's healing, Microblading can last anywhere from  6 months to 3+ years.

​

Q: Why do my brows look so bold & dark immediately after my 1st session?

A: each individual stroke will oxidize resulting in an overall bolder brow. This is the first phase of healing. Once washing starts, the scabs begin to lighten and dry out. 

​

Q: Why do my brows disappear when my scabs come off?

A: Once scabs come off, the healing process continues and brows appear much lighter and color is dulled. The visible pigment in the skin, you are seeing through a virgin layer of skin at the top resulting in a cooler pigment appearance because you are seeing the pigment through layers of skin.  At around week three or four pigment will appear brighter and warmer as it makes it's way back up to the skin’s surface. 

​

Q: Why don’t they heal perfect?

A: Several factors that play a significant role in the healing process and healed results: age, skin type, circulation, estrogen levels, how your body swells up/bruise, diet, stress, diabetes, smoking, excessive sun exposure, physical activity, water and medications. The touch up is when we will add the 2nd build going over light strokes, and adding new strokes to build up the density and add texture. 

​

Q: Do I really need a 4-8 wk Touch Up?

A: Yes, it’s the perfecting phase of the process. I go over strokes that are spotted, extend strokes, fill in areas to create more density throughout the brow and do any alterations needed.
