What is Microblading?
Microblading is a form of tattooing. Unlike a regular tattoo performed with a coil machine, microblading is a form of tattoo artistry where pigment (NOT INK like a traditional tattoo) is implanted under your skin (approx. 3 layers deep) with a manual handheld tool instead of a machine . We then "draw" hair strokes to match the color and coarseness of your eyebrow . The result is amazing! Even though it DOES NOT GO AS DEEP AS A REGULAR TATTOO (which goes approximately 7 layers deep as opposed to three with microblading), it's still falls under the category of tattooing because pigment is implanted under the skin.
The appropriate needle & blade type is selected based on the technique we are using and the skin type/conditions you have. Pigment is implanted into the skin and hair stokes are created according to the natural hair growth direction. A touch up is included 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment.

​How long does Microblading last?
Depending on your skin type and care, the pigment will fade slowly over 12 -18 months toyears.

​How long does the service last?
The appointment should take about two hours.

​Anything I need to know or prepare for the microblading procedure?

You will get much better results when you properly prep. It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive and non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

How do I take care if my brows after the procedure?
Now that you know what NOT to do, it’s time to share my secret recipe for amazing microblading results! I love a good acronym so here’s one to help you out, just think of: A - W - M which stands for Absolutely Wonderful Make-up or better yet, Absorb, Wash, Moisturize!

The day of the treatment: Absorb
G ently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymph.

Days 1-7: Wash
Wash daily to remove bacteria and dead skin. (Don't worry....THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)
Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like Dial Soap, Cetaphil or Neutrogena. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliants.
Days 1-7 Moisturize
Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.
AWM should have you covered, but here are some extra tips to help with a smooth and easy recovery:

Important Reminders

Important note about showering:
Limit your showers to 5 minutes so you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet at the very last end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.

Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine you will have much better results with your microblading procedure.

What's the Microblading healing process like?
Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. True reflection of healed color can only be assessed 1 month after treatment. Touch-ups and/or correction of the shape/design is recommended at least 8 weeks after initial treatment. It will go from too dark, to too light, to just right!
​
Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear very sharp and dark. This is because the pigment is still seating on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually (do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton swab as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin).

Once the healing of the skin starts taking place it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.

Your eyebrows will be the lightest tones during days 5-12 because the color is absorbed in the deeper layers of the skin. Later skin cells push it back to the upper layers. Once the healing is completed, you will enjoy a pair of beautiful, new, natural looking eyebrows!
