FAQ

How long does it last ?

How long your desired results last depends on your lifestyle and skin type. There’s no guarantee of how long it will last as every person differs but I estimate on average around 12-18 months. The colour won’t change but simply slowly fades over time.
Does it hurt?

Most people who have microblading done report only feeling some minor pressure or slight discomfort throughout the procedure. Some say it feels like their brows are being scratched. However, everyone has different pain tolerances so if one finds the process uncomfortable a topical numbing anaesthetic can be applied to the eyebrow area.
Should I shape/pluck my brows before the treatment?

No need to shape your brows before you have the treatment, if necessary it will be done at your appointment.
How do I know if I will be happy with the shape of the brows?

The shape of the brows will be drawn on before the treatment starts. If you require any changes to the shape later it will be done in the Top up session.
Can I get my new brows wet or go in the sunshine?

It is so important that you protect your eyebrows after treatment for at least 14 days. Keep them dry… The absolute best results come from keeping your brows extremely DRY for 14 days! Keeping them dry makes them retain more detail, better colour, and more crisp strokes. Avoid getting eye creams/make-up on the brows and try not to touch the brow area with your fingers for 14 days. * Do not put products directly on the brows for 6 weeks if they contain ingredients AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids ), BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acids) or Vitamin A, Retinol. Also please avoid direct sunlight and sunbeds until your brows have fully healed…the harmful rays of the sun can dramatically fade the implanted pigment.
Can I have the treatment when pregnant?

Unfortunately, the treatment isn’t suitable while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Treatment also not suitable for persons with diabetes.

Keep the the brow area clean and dry…follow cleaning routine for the first 2 days carefully.
Allow eyebrows to air dry before applying ointment. Apply the after care ointment given for 14 days with a cotton bud.
