What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that enhances and reshapes your eyebrows. Using a manual hand tool, pigment is implanted into the upper layers of the skin, creating hair-like strokes that imitate the appearance of real eyebrow hair. This technique allows for custom shaping and filling of sparse brows, resulting in a more defined and symmetrical look.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH US
Your appointment will start by carefully consulting and analyzing your facial structure, skin tone, and natural brow shape to create a customized design that suits you perfectly. During this mapping stage, we craft each delicate stroke to mimic natural brow hairs, ensuring your eyebrows look incredibly realistic. Once you are happy with your new shape the process begins.
We start by using a topical numbing solution to allow for the most comfortable appointment. Most guests have compared the sensation and a light scratch and in no way painful. While the numbing solution is setting we will pick the best colour that suits your skin tone, hair colour and brow desires. The microblading takes place as Elnaz uses a hand held tool to complete the service.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE HEALING STAGE
Maintaining your microbladed brows is as important as the initial procedure. We strongly emphasize the significance of the using the provided home care and following the instructions. Following these guidelines diligently will help prolong the longevity and freshness of your new brows. During your healing stage you will see tons of pigment up front then almost no pigment and then finally natural pigment. A follow up appointment is a must so we can see how the brows have healed and touch-up any areas that may not have fully absorbed pigment.
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT
We schedule your follow-up appointment 4-8 weeks after your initial treatment and your home care will be the same as the initial. Depending on how dry/oily your skin is or just the overall healing process some guests lose pigment more than others. Your follow up appointment allows us to evaluate how your skin has healed and make any necessary adjustments and ensures that you will have great brows no matter what! From this point you can maintain you brows by scheduling touch up appointments 12-18 months apart. Remember, this is a semi-permanent procedure so fading over this amount of time is normal.
PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
Before your microblading appointment, there are a few essential steps to ensure optimal results:
1. Avoid using any blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least one week before your appointment.
2. Refrain from consuming alcohol, caffeine, or aspirin 24 hours prior to your session.
3. Waxing, threading, or tinting your eyebrows should be done at least 48 hours before your appointment.
4. If you regularly receive Botox or any other facial injections, it is advisable to wait until after microblading to avoid any complications.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How long does the microblading procedure take?
The initial microblading appointment takes approximately two-three hours. This includes the consultation, creating and mapping the perfect brow shape, selecting the pigment colour, and performing the actual microblading procedure.
Does microblading hurt?
To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. Most clients report minimal pain or discomfort during the process, comparing it to slight eyebrow tweezing or scratching.
How long do microbladed eyebrows last?
After your initial appointment we recommend a touch-up session 4-8 weeks prior to your initial appointment. This ensures the pigment depth which will give you longer results. Note that this appointment is included with your initial appointment.
Microblading typically lasts between 1 to 3 years, but the exact duration can vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups are usually recommended every 12-18 months to maintain the desired shape and colour.
Are there any risks or side effects?
As with any cosmetic procedure, minor risks and side effects may occur. These can include redness, swelling, and slight tenderness immediately after the procedure. However, Elnaz follows strict sanitation and safety protocols to minimize any potential risks. Aftercare is provided with your service and we recommend following our post procedure guidelines.
Can I have microblading if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, individuals with sensitive skin can still benefit from microblading. However, it is important to notify Elnaz about your skin condition during the consultation to ensure proper technique and to take any necessary precautions.
What is the healing process like after microblading?
After microblading, the treated area may appear darker and slightly swollen. Over the next few days, the brows will go through a healing process, during which the color will fade by about 30-40% and the strokes will soften. It is normal to experience some flaking and scabbing during this time. It is important not to pick, peel or scratch the treated area.
Can anyone get microblading?
While microblading is suitable for many people, a thorough consultation is necessary to determine individual eligibility. People with certain medical conditions, skin sensitivities, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be advised against microblading. It is best to consult with a trained professional who can assess your specific situation.
Is microblading safe?
Microblading is generally safe when performed by a trained and experienced technician in a clean and sterile environment. It is important to choose a reputable salon or beauty bar that adheres to strict hygiene standards and uses disposable, single-use tools.
Can I still use brow products after microblading?
Yes, you can still use brow products after microblading if desired. However, it is important to avoid applying any makeup or skincare products directly on the treated area until it has fully healed. Once healed, brow products can be used to enhance the appearance of the eyebrows further.
How do I choose the right microblading technician?
When selecting a microblading technician, it is essential to do thorough research and consider factors such as experience, qualifications, and reviews. Look for technicians who have completed proper training and are certified. Additionally, requesting to see their portfolio of previous work can give you an idea of their skill level and style.
Remember, every individual's experience with microblading may vary, so it is crucial to have realistic expectations and communicate your desired outcome with your chosen technician.
