Microblading also is known as 3-D, Feathered or Embroidery brow is a relatively new method of permanent makeup. 

It is a very natural-looking brow compared to a tattooed, hair stroke or shaded eyebrow. 

It is done using a very fine needled hand tool to deposit pigment into the epidermis. 

This method is great for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows men and women. The results are a natural, flawless, fuller-looking eyebrows.

First we will consult with clients about the best brow shape for your face and choose a color that matches your hair and skin. Then, we clean the brow area and numb it for microblading. We use a small, handheld tool to manually draw hair strokes. Lastly, we apply an ointment to help with the healing process.

Topical anesthetic cream and gel are used for numbing before and during your procedure. Pain threshold levels vary from person to person and every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the entirety of the procedure. Most clients say it does not hurt at all! However, please note you will be more sensitive on your menstrual cycle.

Depending on the skin type it lasts 1-3 years, most people get a rejuvenation every 1-1.5 years.

Generally yes if growth is beyond the blading border.

All together it is about a 14-day healing process, no major downtime.

We have lighter pigments to color match but also recommend a tinted brow gel and/or brow tint.

Follow these instructions for the first 14 days:

* Apply balm as per advice from your therapist: twice a day for dry skin, once a day for normal skin, and no ointment for oily skin clients. 

* You can wet a Q-tip every other day and gently wipe the brow to gently cleanse the area from old ointment before you apply new.

* No makeup or skincare products directly on your new PMU/ z Microblading. 

* Do not wet/ soak your PMU/ Microblading. 

* Avoid excessive exercising for the first 7 days as sweat can contribute to poor retention. 

* Avoid swimming, sauna, steam rooms, and sun beds. 

* If any scabbing occurs, allow to shed naturally without picking. 

* Avoid touching the area. If itch occurs, gently tap to release the itch. 

* When using a towel or cotton to dry, just pat without rubbing the area. It is normal to see some color come off. 

* It’s best to wash your face at the sink or use a makeup wipe to avoid excessive water to the brow while showering. 

* It’s normal to experience loss of pigment/bare spots in sections throughout the healing process. This is common days 9-15 and is part of the healing as the pigment is absorbed in the deep layers of the skin. 

Follow these instructions indefinitely for best long term results: 

* Always avoid direct sun exposure to prevent color fade. Protect your PMU or microblading using sunscreen. SPF 50 sunscreen sticks (the ones for kids) are recommended. 

* You must avoid skincare products that encourage cellular renewal (retinol), brightening & lightening of the skin (vit C./tretinoin), and all chemical exfoliating products (aha, bha, salicylic, glycolic, lactic, citric etc). Physical exfoliants (scrubs or enzymes) are recommended but avoid applying directly on the brows. PLEASE CHECK YOUR INGREDIENTS, EVEN YOUR SPF!  Vitamin C=ascorbic acid and it also may be in the form of lemon, citrus, lime, limonene, citronellol. Retinol=Vit. A. If you must use any of these products please use only from the cheeks down and no more than 1x/week

* Regular chemical peels should be avoided.  Laser treatments are fine but it is recommended to cover the eyebrow with a cloth of some kind. For peels, just avoid the forehead and limit frequency

* When you notice that the results are fading significantly (40-50%) and you are in need of color boost, contact us to schedule your session. Rejuvenations are recommended every 1-2 years but can vary for your skin type. 

Product recommendations: 

Some Kiehl’s, La roche Posay (toleriane moisturizer, hydrating cleanser), Elta MD pm, Cetaphil, Neutrogena hydro-boost, Kate Somerville ExfoliKate for exfoliant, any peptide based product for firming, hyaluronic acid is safe and a great hydrator, some Beauty Counter is good (just avoid Countertime and any others w Vit C and their retinol mimicking product). Ultimately just check the ingredients before use. Otherwise the pigment will turn gray/blue and is not always reversible!

Note: 

It is normal to see color intensify before it lightens as well as to see intense redness in the pigment, this will subside. Also, the brows will feel much bigger in size as the skin is swollen and compromised. Your new brows will reduce in size AND color to a soft, natural, beautiful look!

If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin, please contact Megan by Megan & Co at (317)790-2874.

The entire healing process will take from 4-6 weeks depending on your body's regeneration and age. Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. Itching and flaking may appear during the first 7 days post-microblading procedure. However, experience has shown that by strictly following these after-care instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear. 

 The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually. Do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton pad/swab, as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin. 

Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally exfoliated from your eyebrows. The final look of your eyebrows will be apparent approximately 30 days after your procedure.

Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after the recovery period (peeling), brows might appear lighter than original. This might give you the impression that color is fading too quickly. 

Often even with proper care, clients may lose original hair strokes which make brows look uneven. This is normal. That is the reason why most customers need a touchup after 6-8 weeks. Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin from natural healing.
