WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

​

Microblading is a semi-permanent brow tattoo performed with a small handheld tool, using a feather stroke technique to produce the appearance of fuller eyebrows or to enhance the natural features of the face. Microblading is a softer/more subtle cosmetic tattoo than some of older methods. Body tattoos use ink while cosmetic tattoo procedures involve pigments. These pigments are designed to gently fade over time.

 

WHAT IS MICROSHADING?

​

The process is more so like creating a shadow or gradient appearance with teeny-tiny dots of pigment instead of fine hairs like microblading. Microshading can also be known as Powder Brows. Microshading uses an electric hand tool or manual tool to create tiny dots of pigment to add volume to the brows to create the illusion of fuller, thicker brows.

​

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

​

Microbladed eyebrows last 6 months to 1 year and half before it usually needs a touch up depending on Skin type, lifestyle, metabolism as well as the post care of the treated area.

Microshaded eyebrows last 1 year to 2 years before it usually needs a touch up also depending on Skin type, lifestyle, metabolism as well as the post care of the treated area.

Use of daily anti-aging products e.g.- (Tretinoin (Retin-A) & Alpha Hydroxy). These products increase your cell turnover rate and will shorten the life of your cosmetic tattoo

​

HOW LONG IS THE APPOINTMENT?


Two hours on average. During your appointment we will consult with you the entire time ensuring we are on the same page. Much of the time is spent measuring and drawing on a symmetrical set of brows and agreeing on your perfect shape and colour. The actual procedure itself takes 30min to an hour.

​

IS TOUCH UP APPOINTMENT INCLUDED?

​

For microblading alone, a complimentary follow up session is provided after 6 weeks after the initial session to fill in necessary gaps. 

For the combination of Microblading and Microshading or Microshading alone, only one session is required as the eyebrows heal completely compared to Microblading alone. A touch up session is not required.

 

DOES IT HURT?

​

The pain is minimal to nothing. We use a topical anaesthetic before the procedure to numb the affected area and followed by a liquid anesthetic during the procedure.

​

CAN I GET TATTOOED IF I AM PREGNANT?

​

As a precaution to avoid any complications, we do not perform cosmetic tattooing on pregnant women.
