Does the procedure hurt?

Every precaution is taken to ensure the procedure is as pain free as possible. Some clients may experience some discomfort, however the majority of clients report very little to no discomfort at all. Many are pleasanrtly surprised. The hair strokes with microblading are done one at a time so any discomfort or scratching sensation, if felt, is very short lived and bearable. 

Does hurt afterwards?

There is very little downtime with this procedure. The area can be a little tender at the end of the procedure when  touched but this is very short lived, if experienced. Many people experience little to no discomfort however.

How long is the recovery /healing time?

You do not have to hide away from everyone until your brows are fully healed. Initially, your brows may be stronger in colour, and will soften to a natural looking and beautiful colour in the first few weeks. We allow approximately 6 weeks for the brows to fully heal depending on the brow type chosen. Aftercare instructions will be discussed /provided and it is important these are adhered to, as this will largely prevent scabs forming which you so often hear about. For some, during healing, the pigment colour may seem as though it’s disappearing which can cause a patchy type appearance. Do not panic, this is all part of the healing process and very normal. The colour will slowly return but this is one reason why the top up appointment is essential.

How long does the microblading procedure last?

This varies from person to person and is influenced by individual skin types and personal lifestyles. Factors such as sun exposure, oily skin types, medications, and certain skincare products can also speed up the fading process. For Microblading, on average, pigment can start to fade anywhere between 6 months-12months. Digital brows usually have longer retention and it is dependent upon how strong you go, but tend to last between 1-2years + (Softer ‘barely there styles tend to last around 1 year , standard ombre brows are approximately 1-2 years and for stronger ombre / powder brows, these can last 2years +).

However, as with all semi permanent makeup, some skins retain the pigment better than others. As such it is not possible to guarantee how long your results will last.

A colour boost appointment is recommended when your brows start to fade in colour to keep your brows looking fresh and optimal. The timeframe for your colour boosts have to be judged on your own brows and it is extremely important that your colour boosts are booked in whilst the pigment is still clearly visible. They should simply be fading in colour not almost disappearing. This is very important especially for microblading- it is important in terms of longer term results but will also prevent your colour boosts appointments turning back to two appointments and being charge at the rate of a new set of brows.

How is a shape for my eyebrows chosen?

On the day of the procedure, the brows are measured out and designed, taking into consideration symmetry and position. They are then checked by you to ensure you are happy. The procedure will only take place once both parties are satisfied with the brow shape. Though our faces are not perfectly symmetrical, every effort is made to create as much symmetry as possible.

What if I don’t like it?

Remember, the shape and colour are agreed by you before the procedure takes place. Throughout the process we continually check the brows and add more strokes/density as and where needed depending on the brow type being completed. Although the procedure is considered semi-permanent, these procedures do have flexibility in changing colour and shape to some extent. Please also refer to the ‘top up’ information. In addition, colours appear darker immediately following the procedure but softens and lightens during the healing process. These are semi permanent prociedures and therefore the brows will gradually soften and naturally fade out, this is why colour boosts are recommended. If left, the brows will gradually disappear softly over time.

the boring but important bit.
