Microblading and Permanent Makeup

To ensure best results, make sure your health is in good condition. Get enough rest, eat well, exercise.

72 hours before and after your Microblading appointment, avoid alcohol and aspirin/ibuprofen.

One week before, stop taking the following supplements (Vitamin E, B6, Omega 3, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort) as they contribute to thinning the blood and may affect anesthetic efficacy. You may resume taking your vitamins 72 hours after.

On the day of your appointment, avoid caffeine and exercise. Wash your hair in the morning as you will need to avoid the shower for several days. Baths are recommended.

Pigments during Microblading are not implanted as deep into the skin as a traditional tattoo or even Microblading with an electric permanent makeup device. This allows for healed results of very fine, thin, and crisp hair lines, however, results do not last as long as traditional methods. A color boost is required usually between 18-24 months.

A touch-up may be required at 12 months or sooner for oily-skinned clients, those who tan often or often expose brow area to certain chemicals (facial peels, chlorine, anti-aging products, etc.). Pigment retention varies depending on skin type, age, aftercare, immune system, medications, certain chemicals, and the type of pigment used.

We use only the best quality pigments that heal true to color. All materials used during each and every appointment (including pre-sterilized blades) are 100% disposable. We strictly adhere to both Texas Public Health and OSHA guidelines for proper infection control practices.

Microblading is a two-step process, consisting of an initial procedure and a touch-up to be completed 4-8 weeks after.  This method is a lot kinder to the skin than the old method done with a machine.

• Redness and swelling dissipate within an hour after the treatment and no permanent scarring takes place.
