FAQs

How long does microblading last?

• Microblading generally lasts 1–3 years, depending on the number of sessions you’ve had. After just one session, results may fade completely within 6 months to 1.5 years. Additional sessions extend longevity, and routine touch-ups help maintain fresh, natural-looking brows.

What pigments do you use?

• I use Permablend pigments, which are high-quality, long-lasting, and specially formulated for microblading.

What is the aftercare?

Proper care is essential for optimal healing:

First week:

• Gently dab brows with a clean, damp paper towel every 2–3 hours to remove oils, dirt, and plasma build-up.

Second week:

• Clean brows 2 times daily, being gentle with any flakes.

Avoid for 2 weeks:

• Excessive sweating

• Swimming

• Cosmetic products on brows

• Direct sunlight

• Submerging brows in the shower (keep them protected)

• Picking/scratching

What are the healing stages?

• Day 1-3: brows look dark

• Day 4–5: Patchy/flaking

• Day 6-8: colour will fade 

• Day 9-14: colour returns 

• Day 14+: Fully healed, about 30–40% lighter than day 1

• After touch-up: Perfected brows
  Occasionally, a second touch-up may be needed.

Do I need to do anything before my procedure?

• Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment.

• Skip caffeine beforehand.

• Avoid blood-thinning medications (Advil, Ibuprofen, Aspirin).

• Botox should be scheduled 3 weeks before or after the procedure; notify your artist if you’ve had Botox within this window.

• Avoid waxing, threading, or tinting 3 days before and at least 3 weeks after. 

• Microblading cannot be performed if you’ve been on Accutane within the past year.

• If the treatment area shows irritation (blemishes, rash, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburn, etc.), consider rescheduling.

• Stop glycolic acid and retinol products 7 days before and avoid for 30 days post-procedure.

• Avoid exercise right before your session.

• Sensitivity may increase during your menstrual cycle.

Pro tip:

• Bring reference photos of brows you like.

How many sessions do I need?

• Two sessions are recommended after your first time, with a touch-up after 8 weeks to perfect color and add density.

• Refreshers every 1-2 years help keep brows looking fresh and natural.

Can I get microblading while pregnant or nursing?

• No. Clients should wait until after pregnancy and nursing for safety, even though infection risk is low.

Does microblading hurt?

• 5% lidocaine numbing cream is used to minimize discomfort. Some may feel slight sensitivity.

How will I look right after?

Your Brows will look perfect immediately after the session with crisp strokes and minimal redness. They will darken, flake, and lighten over the next two weeks.

How old do I have to be?

• You must be 19+ to receive microblading.

Am I a good candidate?

Please consult me if any of the following apply:

• Prone to keloid scarring

• On Accutane within 1 year

• Irritated skin on the brow area (blemishes, rash, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, sunburn)
