Microblading which is also referred to as semi-permanent makeup, is a manual process of implanting colour pigment in the upper layers of skin to create the appearance of hair like strokes. Manual, sterile blades are used for this technique and because colour is implanted just underneath the dermal layer of the skin, the resulting look is soft and natural. Microblading may last anywhere from 8 months – 18 months.
We use two highly effective, topical anesthetic creams for numbing the skin before and during the procedure. At Carrie’l we want to ensure our guests are as comfortable as possible. But pain thresholds vary from person to person.
If you have certain skin conditions, such as severe oily skin, cystic acne in the brow area, miles, Keratosis, or excessive dry skin, the pigments may not hold in the skin.
Also, if you are on any blood thinners, Aspirin and/or are Anemic, bleeding may occur during and after the procedure.
Right after your appointment, you may have some redness and swelling in the area. Your eyebrows will darken more over the next 2-3 days. After 3 days, the healing will process begins and your brows will lighten.
Your aftercare is crucial in the survival of your Microblading! We give detailed instructions on how to care for your new brows to ensure proper handling. Keeping them clean and avoiding getting them wet (sweating, swimming). Also, avoid the sun and eyebrow makeup until they are completely healed. Grapeseed Oil or Coconut Oil is to be applied twice a day so the scabbing does not lift out the pigments prematurely.
No, because we take proper precautions, Carrie’l will not Microblade on pregnant and nursing mothers. Also, the hormones can offset the final pigment and how it holds in the skin
The Microblading strokes will slowly fade out, making your eyebrow shape appear softer and less defined. Carrie’l advises to maintain with a regular touchup every 12-18 months.
