Microblading Perfect Eyebrows

Trained by celebrity artist Nadia Afanaseva in Microblading Techniques located at the training facility in New York City.

What is Microblading?

Microblading eyebrows first got recognized about 25 years ago throughout Asia. Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that creates hairlike strokes to fill in sparse or thinning brows. Having gone by so many different names: microstroking, feather tattooing, eyebrow tattooing, “the Japanese Method,” feathering, hairstroking… the list goes on. Using a special microblading pen to draw on individual strokes one by one. It’s an extremely meticulous process that takes around two hours to complete. I start by drawing the shape in with a removable pencil. That’s the longest part and the most important step. During this time, the best customized shape and color for every client is chosen. A free consultation is required before the initial treatment.

 

Is there anything I need to do to prepare for my service?

• • Do not drink coffee, alcohol or energizing drinks on the day of treatment.
  • Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Ibuprofen 24 hours before treatment.
    Do not tan or have intense sun exposure 3 days before treatment.
  • No waxing 2-3 days before treatment.
  • No chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser or any other intense treatments 2 weeks before treatment.
  • Make sure you shower before coming in as you will want to be very careful on getting your eyebrows wet
  

Is Microblading painful?

The service can be a little uncomfortable for those who are more sensitive. However, there is an anesthetic applied during to keep this to a minimum to where it is completely tolerable.

Is there any after-procedure care?

Make sure to avoid ALL of the following:
• Increased sweating, practicing sports, swimming, hot sauna, hot bath or jacuzzi, sun tanning or salon tanning.
• Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycol Acid on the face or neck.
• Picking, peeling or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.
• Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris.
• Drinking alcohol in excess as it may lead to slow healing of wounds.
• Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles or motorcycles.
• Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing.
• Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.

What’s the Microblading healing process like?

Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. True reflection of healed color can only be assessed 3-4 weeks after treatment.

Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear very sharp and dark. This is because the pigment is still seating on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually.

Once the healing of the skin starts taking place it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.

Your eyebrows will be the lightest tones during days 5-12 because the color is absorbed in the deeper layers of the skin. Later skin cells push it back to the upper layers. Once the healing is completed, you will enjoy a pair of beautiful, new, natural looking eyebrows.

After 4-6 weeks you will come back for a touch-up for any correction if needed on your brows. This normally takes up to an hour.

A free consultation is required before the initial treatment. Please call or text 515-770-6800 to schedule an appointment.
