  FAQ ~ Microblading/3D

 

       What is Microblading, and how does it work?

Microblading, a semi permanent procedure, is the art of embedding pigment beneath the skin with a specialized and sterile tool to create the illusion of strategically placed hair strokes for fuller and enhanced brows. A series of strategically placed superficial cuts filled with pigment collectively work to create darker, fuller brows.

​

       What is 3D Hyper-Realistic Brows, and how does it work?

3D Brows are 100% machine preformed. This is the most advanced cosmetic tattooing technique using a digital cosmetic tattoo machine and nano needles to achieve the most natural, soft, and delicate results without damaging the skin. Originating in Russia, hyper-realism brows (or undone brows as they're also known) is a newer permanent makeup technique uses a cosmetic tattooing device and a needle to implant the pigment and join each hair stroke in a 'W' pattern to give the illusion of overlapping hairs which don't blur. By building up the intensity in the middle of the brow, it creates a 3D effect for more realistic, fuller looking eyebrows.

​

       Does Microblading/3D hurt?

Discomfort is minimal and a numbing cream is used to insure a painless procedure. Most would compare the degree of discomfort to the feeling felt when threading their brows.

 

​       How long will the Microblading/3D Appointment take?       

There are several stages which include; numbing, outlining the desired shape, the actual process of Microblading/3D, and the fine tuning of the finished process. This usually takes roughly 2 to 2 1/2hours but can take up to 4.

                             

       How to prepare for your Microblading/3D Appointment

  • Two weeks prior to your Microblading/3D appointment please avoid chemical peels, Botox, fillers and retinoids, (and 30 days post appointment) avoid laser and or dermabrasion of any type.

  • One week prior to your appointment please avoid excess sun exposure and do not tan.

  • 24-hours prior to your appointment it is recommended that you do not drink alcohol, take aspirin, Ibuprofen, niacin, Omega 3 (fish oil) or Vitamin E.

  • On the DAY of your appointment do NOT drink coffee or anything that contains caffeine as it may cause bleeding.

  • Your skin MUST NOT be in the process of healing when getting a Microblading/3D treatment. So you need to wait 6 months AFTER you’re done with your Accutane treatment before having Microblading/3D done on your brows.

 

       Do all eyebrows require a Touch-up Appointment?

YES. But not before and only AFTER 6-8 weeks Post-Microblading/3D can your Touch-up appointment be scheduled. Microblading requires a second touch up appointment, all client’s skin is different and receives the ink differently. It’s impossible to accurately predict how a pigment will be affected by a client’s undertones. So please book your Touch-up appointment 6-8 weeks following your Microblading/3D appointment.

​

       What to expect at your Touch-up Appointment

During the Touch-up Appointment I will fill in any missing hair strokes, fill out the shape of the eyebrow as necessary, touch up any light spots, and assess how the skin has reacted to the Microblading/3D process and the chosen color. I make a note of the client’s pigment blend. I can enhance the color of the brows by simply layering in a different shade if needed, to adjust the tone. There are always options.

​

       After my Microblading/3D and Touch-up Appointments, how long will my Microblading last?

For most clients the results of quality Microblading/3D will last anywhere from 12-24 months. The pigment naturally exfoliates out of the skin over time causing the pigment to lighten.

​

       What result can I expect after my Microblading/3D and Touch-up treatments are complete?

Like any tattoo, swelling and redness is unavoidable. You may experience an intensified vibrancy from the pigment causing a temporary darkness to your brows. As they heal, the swelling will desist, the vibrancy will settle, and the color will restore to a natural finish. You can expect to have beautiful, full looking brows with a perfect arch that are guaranteed to give you that “wow factor”, and virtually eliminate the need to apply makeup to your brows. 

​

       Who is a good candidate for brow Microblading/3D?

Anyone wishing to enhance their brows. Anyone who has shapeless, thin lifeless brows. Those who would like thicker and/or darker brows. Anyone needing an improvement in their brow arch. On the go types who want to spend less time putting makeup on their brows every day. Those who are missing a great deal of, or all of their brow hair.

​

       Who should NOT have a Microblading/3D treatment?

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Anyone who has a history of keloids.

  • Diabetics

  • People who have circulatory and/or bleeding disorders

  • Anyone who is taking blood thinners of any kind.

​

PLEASE NOTE

Do not drink coffee, alcohol or energizing drinks on the day of treatment. Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Ibuprofen 24 hours before treatment. Do not take Omega 3 (fish oil) & stop using Retin- A  1 week before treatment. Do not tan or have intense sun exposure 3 days before treatment.
