How much time does it last?

Microblading results typically last between 12 and 24 months, depending on skin types. However, it is important to remember that the pigment will eventually fade, and your natural brows will be back. Those with oily skin tend to notice that the treatment doesn’t last as long as those without oily skin. Additionally, how well you follow aftercare procedures can have a great impact on how long the pigment stays in the skin.

Who is a good candidate for microblading?

A good candidate for microblading isn’t necessarily based on how little brow hair you naturally have, it’s more based on your skin type. Is your skin super reactive and sensitive? Are you under 18 years old? Diabetes?Keloid/Hypertrophy Scarring? Then you may not be a great candidate at the moment, since microblading will initially cause some inflammation that can exacerbate skin conditions and affect your tattoo’s healing process. Similarly, oil can make microblading fade faster, so you’ll get less time with your microbladed brows if your skin is very oily.oily

Is microblading only good for thin brows?

Microblading can be great for those with thin, sparse brows to get some definition and fullness. But if you’re worried about your microbladed brows looking too drawn-on, your brow artist can add shading behind the hair-like strokes so the empty spaces between the strokes isn’t so noticeable. Those who already have some eyebrow hair and just want a fill-in or enhancement to their natural brows can get a very natural look with microblading. However, microblading might not be good for someone with lots of natural eyebrow hair, because all it will do is make your brows look fuller, not brushed up or groomed.

How painful is eyebrow microblading?

Microblading can be somewhat painful, but the level of pain you may feel will depend on your own natural pain tolerance. The upside? Your brow artist will slather on a numbing gel before they begin, and may also add an extra layer of gel between each pass. Basically, expect the pain to be a little uncomfortable, but not unbearable.

Can microblading ruin your eyebrows?

Generally speaking, no, microblading won’t ruin your eyebrows, as long as your artist uses proper techniques, we have the best microblading artists so in Truetan you are in safe hands. Although very uncommon, it’s also possible to have an allergic reaction to the dye that could cause a rash or an infection, so, unless you have a reaction, you shouldn’t worry too much about your eyebrows being negatively affected by microblading. In fact, microblading may even help your hair growth, because the little micro-trauma to the brows brings fresh blood to the area and stimulates lymphatic fluid, which can encourage the hair follicle to potentially help support some hair growth.

What happens during a microblading appointment?

Your artist will first take you through a full consultation, chatting through color options and your style preferences. They’ll then apply a topical numbing cream, letting it sit for 30 minutes, before drawing on your new brow shape with a dark pencil.

Note that a good microblading specialist can create the appearance of naturally full brows on any skin tone with any shade range, if you’re worried about the color not looking natural. For her clients, we creates a custom color using several shades that match your natural hair color, so your brows will look multidimensional and real.

First, the microblading artist makes a pass with the tool (without any pigment) to lay down where the “hairs” should be. Then, she adds some more numbing, and, while that’s setting, works on shaping the brows. Finally, she’ll go over those original strokes two more times with pigment to create the final look. Don’t be alarmed if your brow color looks extremely dark right after your appointment, it’ll fade to its final, softer shade in about 10-12 days.

How long do microbladed brows take to heal?

Microbladed brows will fully heal in about a month, how well they heal will depend on how well you follow your aftercare instructions. Redness, swelling, and scabbing are all common after microblading in the first 5-7 days, so don’t be concerned if you experience them. But despite how tempting the scabs may look, do not pick at them, or you risk potential infection and prolonged healing.

Do you still have to pluck your eyebrows after microblading?

Yes, you will still have to pluck your eyebrows after microblading, if you’re someone who prefers a clean, groomed look. Your eyebrow hairs will continue to grow like normal, so if you like to touch-up stray hairs or shape your brows, you’ll still need to tweeze, wax, or thread.
