Why is it necessary to do a touch up?Touch up session may be necessary because everyone heals differently and therefore the outcomes vary. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the color and brow thickness by adding more strokes. In the touch up session, the final adjustments are made to assure the client’s satisfaction. Touch up is only done after the healing reached completion after 4 weeks not before. Final adjustments are only done after the initial work has stabilized.

Is Microblading painful?The level of discomfort during the treatment varies from one individual to another. Some liken it to tweezing two to three hairs at the same time. Usually a topical anesthetic is used to numb the area being worked. Topical anesthetics are safe and may contain lidocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine. Redness and slight swelling in the area is common after the procedure. Often clients liken the feeling to a slight sunburn. Frequently Tylenol is used to alleviate any discomfort.

How long does Microblading last?Generally Microblading on average lasts 12 to 24 months, depending on skin type - normal, oily, or dry, also age - young or mature.

To maintain the brows, touch up may be done every 12 to 24 months. Note that with problematic / oily skins, additional Touch ups may be required. On average, expected time until a Touch-up is needed may be between 12 and 24 months. With oily skin it may be earlier. Powder/Ombre Brows are recommended for oily skin.

What will my eyebrows look like after?They will look crisp and clear immediately after the treatment is done. The colour is extremely dark during the first 5 to 7 days. 7 days later, it loses 40 to 50% of its intensity. If you think the colour is too dark, do not try to remove it yourself by no means. Patiently wait 7 days for the colour to fade on its own after the healing of the skin. Your epidermis may be completely healed but your dermas layer is still healing. it is all part of the healing process. Please rest a sure that the true color will be pushed back to the surface layer of your skin and you will see more of the strokes. After the complete 26 days, a touch up will, more then likely, need to be done to keep the shape and color. It is during that time you may want to adjust the color darker or warmer and can add more density to the brows.
