Microblading
What is Microblading
Microblading is a manual method of implanting pigment in hair-like strokes in the epidermis (top layers of skin) to create the look of fuller brows. This form of tattooing is the newest trend in Semi-Permanent Makeup. The natural-looking results are achieved with a sharp, hand-held blade made up of 7+ microneedles. Instead of outlining and completely filling in the outline of your brows with colour, microblading actually allows for the placement of hair like strokes into the skin. Whereas traditional tattooing uses needles on a rotary/coil machine to push ink 7 layers deep into the skin, microblading uses a manual blade and only targets 3 layers of skin. Because the pigment sits so superficially in the skin the strokes are sharp, crisp, and they mimic the look of real hair! Your new brows will last up to 2 years predicated on the environmental exposure it receives.

*We recommend that Microblading is ideally done prior to anti-wrinkle injections to ensure that the natural brow line can be followed and to avoid any asymmetry. If Microblading is done after, please ensure that it no earlier than 2 weeks after.
