The microblading technique is performed without using a machine and produces a very natural-looking result. During this manual technique, the pigment is applied with a pencil tool that has a fixed small blade with many disposable needles. The needles are 3x thinner than the needles used for permanent machines. An effect of extremely fine and natural-looking hair strokes is achievable. A thick plant-based pigment is used that does not change color but slowly fades over time. Making corrections is easy and is very easy to apply over old washed-out permanent make-up eyebrow tattoos (with bleaching pigment/solution). Treatment takes about two hours.

Microblading can last up to two years and will need to be retouched to keep the brow from fading. Touch-ups are recommended every 12-18 months to retain the natural shape and color. The length of how long the microblading will last varies depending on the patients’ maintenance and skin type.

People suffering from alopecia, thyroid condition, or any other condition that causes hair loss will benefit greatly from microblading. People who simply aren’t happy with their eyebrows, have extremely thin eyebrows, and/or never want to fill in their eyebrows will also benefit from microblading.

Microblading is not recommended for those who:

• Are pregnant or nursing.
• Have had an organ transplant.
• Are undergoing chemotherapy (consult your doctor).
• Are sick (cold/flu).
• Have epilepsy.
• Have used Accutane in the past year.
• Have a pacemaker or major heart problems.
• Have viral infections and/or diseases.
• Have psoriasis near the treated areas.
• Are diabetic.
• Have skin irritation/rash near the treated area present.
• Are prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring.

NOTE: Pigment will fade quicker in individuals who smoke and/or use topical products containing hydroquinone, retinol, alpha and beta hydroxyl acids.
