FAQ’s

How long does it last?

Microblading results will vary for everyone. There are many factors that will impact the longevity of PMU however, generally speaking - 6 to 18 months. The drier the skin, the longer the PMU lasts.

Does it hurt?

Most clients will describe a mild sting and slight discomfort for the first 10-15 minutes before the topical numbing cream is applied.

Is Microblading suitable for everyone?

If any of the following applies to you, Microblading is not recommended; Under 18 years, pregnant, currently taking blood thinners, auto immune disorder (Arthritis/Lupus etc), hepatitis C, keloid scars. Eczema, skin psoriasis or acne on the brow area. Some medications are also a contraindication of microblading. If you are taking ANY medication/vitamin/supplement such as fish oil, please advise prior to booking to ensure we can confirm the treatment is appropriate.

Do you remove my natural brows before treatment?

We will always provide a brow tidy up for the hairs that fall outside the desired shape however, we will keep as much of your natural brows as possible.

I have Patchy brows or almost no brows at all - can Microblading improve my brows?

Absolutely! Microblading provides a very natural looking result so it is ideal for those needing to fill any areas where there is no natural hair. PhiShading between the Microblading strokes can work wonders in blending and is ideal for those with bald spots through their brows.

What should I expect when it comes to healing?

Your brows will go through different stages in the 4-6 weeks that follow your treatment. For the first 2 - 3 days your microblading strokes will appear larger and darker. After this, swelling will reduce and your brows will return to the colour they were post treatment. After 1-2 weeks you will notice some flaking and some strokes will almost disappear. This is all part of the skin healing process, your microblading strokes will return within the 6 week period. You touch up is then performed to reinforce your strokes.

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment can take anywhere between 2 - 3 hours. We spend time mapping and shaping which can take up to 1 hrs. It is important to take our time to ensure the best result possible.

What is the process?

Microblading requires minimal upkeep. Once you have received your initial treatment, a touch up is required after 4-6 weeks. Thereafter, a refresher appointment is required around every 10-12 months (depending on your skin type and lifestyle).

Is numbing cream applied?

Yes! Some clients choose not to have numbing cream and this is ok too. We do not apply numbing until we have made the first pass (initial strokes). this ensures the numbing takes affect faster as the skin is already open.

Is there any down-time?

Following the correct aftercare is crucial for the best possible results. This means that you will need to avoid some activities for a short period of time. Wash your hair prior to treatment as you cannot wet your brow area for 3 days post treatment. Makeup on your brows should be avoided for 7 days, you can continue to wear makeup elsewhere. Exercising and Saunas are not permitted for 7 days post treatment. You will need to avoid steamy showers for 7 days and facials for 30 days. LED light therapy is not recommended for at least 30 days post treatment but should be avoided ongoing as it will fade your brows.
