Microblading
Microblading is a type of eyebrow architecture. It is all about creating the best shape for each face – a totally bespoke approach for each client.
Microblading uses a blade-shaped tool with a row of tiny, barely visible needles to create hair-like strokes along your brows while depositing medical grade pigment into your skin. Resulting in realistic-looking brow hairs that don’t wash off for a year or more.
How long does microblading last?
Microblading can last between 12-18 months and will always recommend clients return for a top up around this time. This will prevent any discolouration and keep them looking fresh.
People with slightly more oily skin will tend to last around the 12 month mark before needing a top up, but those with normal skin can last up to 18 months.
​
Does microblading hurt?
It doesn’t hurt as such, it is more a sensation. Each person will differ due to their own personal pain tolerance. The process itself is not painful thanks to the numbing liquid that is applied. Some people have found that the sound of the blade can be worse – a small scratching sound.
