Microblading

What is Microblading

We have all been captivated by that woman with amazing brows! Most of us were not born with them or have managed to over pluck with time.

Microblading is the art of creating subtle hair like strokes in the direction of one’s natural growth pattern using a sterile stippled tool and semi-permanent colour pigment custom matched for you. Fine strokes begin to fill in imperfections leaving you with a fuller and natural brow that will pleasantly change the way you feel about your appearance.

Microblading is a form of a cosmetic semi-permanent makeup performed using a disposable handheld tool with very fine needles resembling the shape of a blade (a microblade).

The microblade is used to hand draw each individual hair and simultaneously implant the pigment into the skin.

The treatment is completed over two appointments, including the initial appointment and a follow-up about 6 weeks later.

Planning for your Appointment

In order to achieve the best result, it is important to follow the pre-appointment instructions. Skin that is healthy and non-irritated is the perfect canvas.

Clients should AVOID the following prior to their appointment:

COFFEE – No coffee the day of appointment
ALCOHOL, ASPIRIN or IBUPROFEN products at least 2 days before.

Clients should AVOID the following 1-2 weeks prior to appointment:

Tanning
Brow waxing, Tweezing and Electrolysis

Chemical peels
Fish Oil and Vitamin E or any other natural blood thinners.

*Clients receiving Botox treatments must wait two months until scheduling a Microblading appointment.

Post Care Instructions

Clients who follow the suggested post care advice are more likely to achieve the best long term results.

Best results occur when clients AVOID the following for the next 7 days:

Touching Brows and surrounding area
Rubbing or scratching treated area
Makeup
Washing treated area or steaming
Intense exercise resulting in excessive sweating

Best results occur when clients AVOID the following for the next 30 days.

Tanning
Laser Treatments
Chemical Peels, Botox, anti-aging creams, AHA’s, Retinols

RESULTS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED as skin type and lifestyle play an important role in the outcome. Fading can be prevented with proper sunscreen use on healed skin and avoiding chemical exfoliants in the treated area.

What to Expect During the Healing Process

Over the course of the next four weeks, your brows will enter into a variety of phases. You can expect some initial redness and/or swelling or tenderness. Pigment intensity may appear bold and stroke lines seem magnified.

As healing continues stroke lines will begin to close resulting in itchy scaly skin. Clients must avoid picking or scratching in order to achieve the best result.

When surface flaking concludes brows will take on a lighter appearance until the remaining healing occurs. Pigment will return to the top layer of your skin resulting in a natural beautifully shaped brow.

Is Microblading right for you?

Microblading is a safe procedure that can shape long-lasting, stunning eyebrows. There are, however, some pre exposed health risks that limit one’s opportunity for Microblading.

Individuals with the following medical conditions or other are NOT CANDIDATES for Microblading:

Uncontrolled Diabetes
Epilepsy
Hemophilia
Graves Disease or other thyroid affected diseases (medication may cause reduced pigment retention)
Anyone taking anti-coagulants (blood-thinners) including daily Aspirin therapy
Undergoing Chemotherapy Treatments (Medical Consent may allow)
Women who are pregnant or nursing
Under 18 years of age
Have skin diseases or irritation on or near the Microblading area

Other Factors That May Impact Final Results:

Individuals who have large pores in the treatment area

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

Results may vary for clients with oily skin or those prone to bleeding. Pigment is less likely to take if emerging blood prevents pigment from settling. Additionally, fine stroke lines attained in clients with dryer skin may not result in individuals with oiler skin types.

It is your obligation to read the information provided to you in this website and report all medical conditions not listed above to ensure you are appropriate for Microblading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Info@soleillaserspa.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Will It Hurt?

Topical anesthetic is applied before the process begins to reduce pain. Most clients have very little discomfort while others compare it to tweezing.

How Long Will It Last?

Everyone’s skin type is different and therefore results will vary. However, clients who follow the post care instructions often see results that last about two years before touch ups are required.

How Long Will My Appointment Take?

Approximately 2 hours for the initial appointment and 1 hour for the follow-up.

Do I Have To Remove My Existing Brows?

No. Microblading simply compliments the hair you currently have by using delicate strokes replicating natural hair.
