Microblading?

---

Instead of using a traditional tattoo gun, microblading requires the use of a small tool with tiny needles. These needles draw delicate hair strokes while also depositing pigment under your skin. The result is a realistic-looking brow hairs that don’t wash off.

The pigment used in microblading is different from the pigment you would get with a tattoo.  This means your body eventually ends up metabolising it, and it fades away.  In addition, the dye particles are less concentrated in microblading ink, which gives your brows a softer, more realistic look.

The great thing about microblading is that a specialist can create the appearance of naturally full brows on any skin tone with any shade range.  Also, if you have lost your brows due to alopecia you can have microblading to give you that confidence back.

Depending on your skin type, microblading can last you anywhere from one to three years but clients should go back after four weeks for a touch-up and to check-in to make sure they are happy with the end result.  The follow-up appointments cost less than the initial price of microblading.  After those first four weeks, you typically shouldn't need a touch-up for about 12 months.

Generally microblading isn’t cheap, depending on where you live and where you get them done, expect to pay anywhere from £350 to £1,500.  Some of these costs can include the initial touch-up in the cost.  That being said, eyebrow products are not cheap and time is money, so it can definitely be worth the cost for anyone not feeling their natural brows.

For a week after your appointment, do not get your brows wet.  We recommend covering them with ointment first to protect the pigment and keep them clean and bacteria-free.

Avoid using any acids or retinoids while they heal, since they could fade the pigments.

Powder brows is a cosmetic semi-permanent makeup technique designed to create eyebrows with soft powder effect, very similar to powder makeup.  Powder effect is done with a shading technique using a permanent makeup device, which is similar to a tattoo gun.

No downtime is required after the procedure.  It takes roughly 7-14 days for the brows to heal over, and about one month for the colour to fully set in.

Some people heal faster than others so don't compare yourself to others.  If it lasts longer than it should, contact your artist.

The first ten days are vital and you need to be extra careful.

The procedure is relatively pain free for the Ombre powder brows.  Some feel a little bit of discomfort and some have gone through the process without numbing cream.

When you get powdered brows you should return for a touch-up procedure two months after the original procedure.  After that the powered brows should last between one and three years.

Expect to pay anywhere from £350 to £1,500.  Some of these costs can include the initial touch-up in the cost.  That being said, eyebrow products are not cheap and time is money, so it can definitely be worth the cost for anyone not feeling their natural brows.
