How long does Microblading last?
Microblading or eyebrow Embroidery treatments are considered semi-permanent and will fade over time. A touch up every 1-3 years is needed.
The number of touch-ups is determined by a few factors that consist of:
Lifestyle
Type of skin: whether you have very oily skin or not
How well your body absorbs the pigments, lighter colors of pigments always fade faster.
Iron deficiency
Each individual is different. Final results vary with each client. All skin types hold pigments very differently, some longer than others. Depending how your body absorbs it.
Your touch up appointment is usually scheduled five weeks after your first session. In that time, your brows will be healed and we will determine how well your skin has received the pigment. All changes will be made accordingly, if necessary. Touch-up appointments are highly recommended for any Microblading procedures, as this is the session to perfect your brows for the entire healing process.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Aspirin or Ibuprofen for 24 hours before the procedure.
Botox should be performed no later than at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products two weeks prior to treatment.
one week prior to treatment discontinue fish oil
Thoroughly read all the forms given to you at the time of your appointment and ask any questions you may have.
Be sure to advise me of any allergies, medical conditions, prior permanent eyebrow make-up and prescriptions you take prior to your appointment.

Important reminders for the healing period:
