Who it may suit
Suitability depends on skin type, healing history, medicines, pregnancy, active skin conditions, prior pigment, scar tendency, and expectations. Oily skin may retain strokes differently.

What it supports
Goals worth discussing clearly.
- Sparse-looking brows
- Uneven brow shape
- Daily brow-pencil routine
- Hair-stroke definition
Microblading deposits cosmetic pigment into superficial skin using a manual blade formed from very fine needles. The goal is to create hair-like strokes that complement natural growth.
It is a form of cosmetic tattooing. Pigment fades and can shift over time, and healed results differ from the darker, sharper appearance immediately after treatment.

Before you book
Candidacy, preparation, and care after.
How to prepare
Follow directions for brow hair removal, retinoids, exfoliation, sun, alcohol, caffeine, medicines, and supplements. Do not stop prescriptions without medical advice.
Downtime & response
Brows can look dark or sharply defined at first, followed by dryness, flaking, and uneven-looking fading during healing.
Aftercare
Follow the artist’s exact wet-or-dry healing protocol, avoid picking, sweating, swimming, sun, and unapproved products, and schedule touch-up only after full healing.
Consultation matters: A consultation is required to confirm suitability, treatment scope, expected downtime, and current pricing.
