Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microblading.

Microblading typically lasts 12–18 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Oily skin may fade sooner. A color-correction follow-up at 6–8 weeks is standard, with maintenance touch-ups recommended every 12–18 months to preserve shape and pigment intensity.

Most clients feel minimal discomfort; topical anesthetic is applied before and during the procedure to reduce pain. Sensitivity varies individually, but technicians monitor comfort and can reapply numbing to ensure a tolerable experience throughout.

Avoid blood-thinners, alcohol, and caffeine 24–48 hours prior, and skip retinol or exfoliating treatments for two weeks. Arrive with clean skin and no brow tinting or waxing. Discuss medications and allergies with your technician during consultation.

Initial days show darker, crisp strokes; scabbing and light flaking occur around days 3–7. Color softens during healing; full settling takes 4–6 weeks. Follow aftercare: avoid water, sweating, sun exposure, and makeup on brows until healed to ensure proper pigment retention.

Yes, in many cases we can microblade over faded tattoos or fill sparse brows, but results depend on scar tissue, existing pigment, and skin type. A thorough consultation and color correction plan will determine suitability and necessary touch-ups for optimal outcome.

Risks include infection, allergic reaction, uneven pigment, or premature fading; these are minimized by sterile technique and patch testing. Contraindications include pregnancy, certain skin diseases, recent Botox, or blood-thinning medications. Full disclosure during consultation ensures safe treatment.
