FAQs

How long will the treatment take?

Most initial sessions take about 2 hours and touch-ups (4-6 weeks later) take 1 hour.

How long does the healing process last?

With semi-permanent eyebrows, the area will be slightly red after the procedure and colour will appear very dark. This is normal for the procedure and part of the healing process. The colour will fade by up to 40% as it heals. In the following days, the eyebrows will continue to be dark and you will notice slight scabbing. The eyebrows will lighten up in colour as they heal. No down-time is required after microblading procedure. It takes approximately 7 days for the brows to heal over, and about 1 month for the colour to fully set in. True colour will reveal itself once both applications have been completed and healing has taken place.

Is the touch-up session necessary?

Yes! A touch-up session is necessary as everyone heals differently and outcome will vary. Certain areas may not pick up during first session and will need to be refilled. Pigment colour may need to be adjusted, brow thickness and more strokes can be added. Individuals with oily skin often require a deeper shade during the touch-up session as the oils tend to lighten the pigment. Most importantly, your touch-up session is when we refine your brows to ensure it looks perfect and retains the colour!

Is it painful?

The pain level for the procedure is considered mild to none. Prior to the treatment a strong anaesthetic cream will be applied to numb the area. The product will be continually reapplied throughout the course of your appointment to ensure you are as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Don't just take our word for it, check out our reviews and see what our clients have to say!

How long does it last?

Since semi-permanent make up pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the will naturally fade overtime. Such treatments typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on skin type (normal, oily, dry), age (youthful/mature) etc. Skincare routine will also affect the lasting effect of the pigment: clients who tan, uses products with AHA or glycolic acid will fade faster their skin will resurface faster. To maintain semi-permanent brows, a 'colour boost' is suggested every 6-12 months. Alternatively, clients can let the treated area fade over time, but please note a slight hue may remain.

Who is not suitable for the procedure?

Microblading is not suitable for the following candidates:

Anyone with a history of keloid scarring
Have had Botox in the last 2 weeks
Have achieved a deep tan or had chemical peels in the last 2 weeks
Anyone with a serious medical condition may require GP approval
Pregnant or nursing clients may be treated at their own discretion

Risks and complications?

All necessary precautions will be taken to ensure a safe session by using sterilised equipment, new needles and in a sanitised environment. Should clients follow our pre and post care instructions, there should be minimal risks or complications. Although allergic reactions to the pigments and numbing are incredibly rare, it could be possible for certain individuals. Clients who have sensitive skin are advised to request a patch test at point of booking.

What if I do not like it?

As with all cosmetic procedures, individuals should not make their choices lightly. We always recommend clients do their research, understand the treatments and compare different artists' work when making their decisions. We will always endeavour to shape and style the eyebrows to your satisfaction prior to the procedure. Every effort will be made to achieve an even appearance, but please realise our faces are never perfectly symmetrical. Uneven appearance can be fixed during the touch-up session. Pigment discoloration and colour correction may also be fixed during the the touch-up session.
