Frequently Asked Questions
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique where a special hand tool and color pigment are used to etch hair-like strokes just under the skin’s surface (epidermis layer). Microblading can fill in sparse brows or create an entire brow. The 3D effect adds realism to the result, creating brows that look like real hair strokes, rather than a solid traditional tattooed eyebrow.
Microbladed brows will last anywhere between 1-3 years at best, depending on your skin type and how well you take care of them. No down time is required after the microblading procedure. It takes approximately 7-14 days for the brows to heal, and about 1 month for the color to fully set in. You’ll notice the color is much lighter right after the two weeks of healing.
Because this is a cosmetic invasive procedure, topical anesthetics have been developed specially to reduce the discomfort to almost 0% in some people. These creams and gels are applied to the desired area before and during the procedure to assure you of the most comfortable experience possible. Some people describe the sensation as “tingling”. However, some people might still experience some discomfort depending on how well their skin can absorb topical anesthetics. How much pain? On a scale of 1-10, you will usually be somewhere between a 0-3. Rarely is anything stronger than Tylenol necessary for the discomfort and you won’t have to miss work or take time off to recover.

Nanoblading is a technique similar to Microblading, however, the results are slightly different as the Nano blade creates much finer crispier strokes and therefore a softer overall look for the brows. Great for people with partial brows, no brows or for people with very fine textured brow hair.
A style of application using multiple blades and/or pigments to create the most natural and realistic-looking eyebrows possible. The technique involve using Microblading, Nanoblading and in some cases a little amounts of shading if required.
