what is microblading?

Microblading, also known as micro needling or eyebrow embroidery, is a semi-permanent tattoo that creates hair-like strokes with the use of a manual pen containing very small needles. These needles implant pigment into the basal layer (bottom layer) of the epidermis.

The results of microblading vary by client and can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Various factors can determine how well the pigment will retain – such as amount of pigment implanted, the client’s skin-type, immediate aftercare, the client’s skin care regimen and medical history.

Pre-numbing application is recommended, you can pick this up over the counter at your local chemist/pharmacy and you will need to follow the directions of use as recommended on packaging.
