Frequently Asked Questions

Microblading typically lasts between 12 and 18 months, depending on various factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. The pigment is deposited into the upper layer of the skin, so it gradually fades over time as the skin naturally exfoliates and regenerates.

Factors such as sun exposure, swimming, and the use of certain skincare products can also affect the longevity of microblading results. For example, excessive exposure to sunlight can cause the pigment to fade or change color, while swimming in chlorinated water can cause the pigment to fade more quickly.

It's important to note that touch-up appointments are recommended to maintain the appearance and longevity of microblading results. A touch-up appointment is typically scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure to make any necessary adjustments and ensure optimal results. After the touch-up appointment, the client can expect their microblading results to last up to 18 months before another touch-up may be necessary.

Microblading is generally considered to be a relatively painless procedure. Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and some even describe it as a "scratching" sensation. A topical anaesthetic is usually applied before the procedure to help minimize any potential discomfort.

After a microblading procedure, the brows may appear darker and more defined than the final result for the first few days. This is because the pigment is still settling into the skin and the color may oxidize during the initial healing process. However, the darkness should gradually fade as the skin heals and the pigment settles into place.

It's normal to experience some mild irritation and redness in the treated area immediately following a microblading procedure. The skin may feel tender and slightly swollen, but this should subside within a few days. It's important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your microblading artist to ensure proper healing and minimize any potential discomfort or irritation.

Typically, you will only need one consultation with your microblading artist to discuss your desired results, assess whether you are a good candidate for the procedure, and answer any questions you may have. During this consultation, your microblading artist will also perform a patch test to ensure that you don't have any allergic reactions to the pigments used in the procedure.

As for the duration of microblading, it typically lasts between 12 and 18 months, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. The pigment gradually fades over time as the skin naturally exfoliates and regenerates. However, touch-up appointments are recommended every 12-18 months to maintain the appearance and longevity of the results. A touch-up appointment is typically shorter than the initial appointment and involves refreshing and adding to the existing pigment to ensure optimal results.

No, microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique that involves drawing hair-like strokes with a small blade to create the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows. Microblading is designed to enhance your natural eyebrows, not remove them. Your natural eyebrows will still be there, and the microbladed strokes will be added on top to create a more polished and defined look.
