Microblading

Microblading is a semi-permanent technique for enhancing the appearance of the eyebrows. During this procedure pigment is scratched into the skin in fine, short strokes resembling hair, using a hand tool with a blade formed of tiny needles.

All procedures include consultation, mapping, and numbing.

Touch up included within 3 weeks.

3 hrs: $450

Please note: You will get much better results when you properly prep. It all starts with a good canvas. The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated.  Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure:

• Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure
• Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face
• Do not work out the day of the procedure
• Do not have botox 3 weeks prior to the procedure
• Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit, do not use the following 24 hours before your tattoo:

• Alcohol
• Coffee
• Aspirin or Ibuprofen
• Fish Oil or Vitamin E (avoid using these one week prior to the procedure)

Additional Touch Up

Touch up is recommended for areas that may have not fully grasped color, or other areas that are in need.

1hr 30min: $100

What to expect during the procedure

The brow artist will use a topical numbing cream prescribed by our anesthesiologist, Dr. Tang. This is applied to the brow area before beginning. The procedure is comforatble, and virtually pain free. She will then map your eyebrows to your desired shape to symmetrically balance your face. Once you achieve the shape you like and she has your consent, she will start the microblading. From start to finish, the procedure typically takes about 3 hours. The touch up process takes an hour to an hour and a half.

Aftercare

The pigment will intially be dark, but will lighten as time goes on. It is normal for the skin underneath will be red. We will send home an healing cream to apply for 7 days. It typically takes 7-10 days for the area to heal and for the pigment to fall off. We advise to take care not to scratch off the pigment during the healing time.

The day of the treatment: Absorb

After the procedure, gently blot the area with clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until the oozing has stopped.  Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

Days 1-7: Wash

Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. Don't worry, this will not remove the pigment.

Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and Eminence Kombucha Microbiome Foaming Cleanser. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants.

Days 1-7: Moisturize

Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo.

Important Reminders

• Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep.
• Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color.
• No botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks. If you have a facial done, make sure to avoid the area.
• Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.
• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure.  Wear a hat when outdoors.
• Avoid long, hot showers for the first 10 days.
• Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
• Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 10 days,
• Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area.
• Do not rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.

Important note about showering:

Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet only at the end of the shower.  Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
