Eyebrows are very important to the esthetics of the face and are often seen as a frame for the eyes. Having sparse eyebrows can affect this framework and other proportions of the face. Eyebrow microblading can create the right eyebrow shape for your face and enhance your natural appearance.
This treatment is essentially semi-permanent tattooing that our licensed aesthetician/certified microblading artist performs. Microblading uses a tiny, fine-point needle to deposit pigment on the eyebrows for the desired shape and fullness.
Microblading has helped many people improve their self-esteem by creating fuller eyebrows and long-term results. Those with skin diseases such as alopecia or who have suffered hair loss following chemotherapy treatment can now regain confidence and express their emotions with healthier-looking, balanced brows.

The Microblading Process
This treatment, known as cosmetic tattooing, requires two sessions spaced about 6 weeks apart. Eyebrow microblading is a very precise process, using a fine needle and feathered strokes. Before your procedure, you and our licensed aesthetician will discuss the color, tone, and desired look. This treatment can be customized depending on your skin and eyebrow goals, making it popular for both men and women who desire fuller brows.
The initial session takes between 90 minutes and 2 hours to complete. Traditional tattoos use a tattoo gun to embed ink into the layers of the skin. Microblading is less intrusive but similar, using a method of scratching the skin and depositing pigment underneath. Your microblading artist will use numbing cream on the brow area to reduce discomfort during treatment.
After 6 weeks, a second session is needed to fill in any sparse areas and complete the look. As a semi-permanent treatment, the results of your eyebrow microblading treatment will last from 1–3 years, with touch-ups recommended every 12 months.
Patients who have oily skin or large pores may find their microblading treatment fading faster than expected. Before any treatment, your aesthetician will evaluate your skin type and will inform you if microblading is recommended.
Before microblading:
- Discontinue any retinol products, glycolic acids, or AHAs for 2 weeks.
- Avoid eyebrow waxing or tinting treatment for 1 week before microblading.

- Do not take aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, or ibuprofen for 24 hours.
After microblading:
- Avoid sun exposure for 1 week.
- Do not scratch or irritate the brows after treatment.
- We may provide an ointment to apply to the brows.
- You should keep your eyebrows dry from water and sweat for about 1 week.
- If you still wish to use a brow pencil, you can apply it after 1 week.
