WHAT ARE MICROBLADING BROWS?
So you’ve seen it mentioned in Elle, OK! Magazine, The Daily Mail and other high flying publications, but what exactly are Microblading Brows?
The treatment incorporates specialist techniques create ultra-realistic looking hair strokes for highly defined perfectly shaped brows.
Microblading is a technique used to create the most realistic looking brows using fine ‘hairstrokes’ to mimic the look of real brows.
Instead of traditional cosmetic tattoo treatments which use a machine, Microblading uses a handheld tool to meticulously create fine hair strokes one by one.
Pigment is then implanted into the channels created by the tool and the result is realistic looking, permanent brows.
In your treatment
The treatment starts with an in depth consultation. The brows are first drawn on to compliment the individuals face shape and enhance the facial features. Once you’re happy with the shape (the brows can be re-drawn as many times as needed), numbing cream is applied to make the process as comfortable as possible.
They may say no pain no gain but, in reality, the treatment will cause very minimal discomfort with many clients saying it just feels like tiny surface scratches on the skin. A colour/pigment is then matched to best suit and compliment your skin tone and hair colour.
The glyder is then used to create the finest of hair strokes of different lengths and directions.
Whether you just want the convenience of permanent makeup to save precious snoozing time in the morning or you have hair loss, sparse eyebrows, thinning hair or over-plucking, Brows are personalised every time to help you ditch those eyebrow pencils for goodand wake up with perfect eyebrows every day.

Pre-Procedure Instructions
To ensure the best results, please follow these instructions prior to treatment
The eyebrow area needs to be healthy, strong, non-sensitive and non-irritated prior to treatment.
Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure:
- – Discontinue vitamin A/retinol products one month prior to the procedure
- – Do not have Botox three weeks prior
- – Do not have any type of facial/peel two weeks prior
- – Do not take fish oil or vitamin E one week prior
- – Do not wax or tint your eyebrows three days prior
- – Do not work out the day of the procedure
- – Do not use antibiotics in the five days prior
In order to avoid excess bleeding and poor colour deposit:
- – Do not consume coffee or energy drinks five hours before your procedure
- – Do not drink alcohol 24-48 hours before your treatment
- – Avoid anything that is likely to thin the blood for 24 hours prior, this includes
- – Aspirin, ibuprofen or Panadol for pain relief
- – Antihistamines, tramadol
- – If you are on medication that thins the blood, I will require a doctor’s note or a signed waiver and will have spoken to you about this during consultation
You also need to wash your hair prior to the appointment, so you can avoid water around your brow area the evening of the treatment.
If you want to, you can bring headphones to the treatment to reduce the sound during the process.
I reserve the right to refuse service to anybody that I do not feel is suitable for the procedure, regardless of the view of the individual themselves or their doctor.
After Care Instructions
Small Details Make a BIG Difference
What you do before and after can have a massive impact on results
The instructions below detail aftercare processes.
What to Expect
Your cosmetic tattoo will appear 30% to 50% darker for the first few days. It takes 7-10 days for the skin to heal. Once it has, the colour will soften. The true shade will start to show at week 4. Any loss of pigment or shape will be corrected during your touch up appointment.
How to Care for Your Cosmetic Tattoo
Do not let any direct running water, lotion, soap, sweat, or makeup touch your brows for the first 5-7 days.
For the 5-7 days following treatment apply a rice-grain sized amount of aftercare product to your brows – morning and night, starting tonight. Gently wipe over your brows with a cotton pad dampened with filtered water before applying aftercare.
You may experience some itchiness in the first 2-4 days. This is normal and means healing is beginning. Do not pick the tattooed area. Doing so will
decrease your final colour.
Long-Term Care
The duration of your tattoo depends on a range of factors, including skin type, colour and lifestyle. You can increase longevity by avoiding over-exfoliating the area, by using sunscreen in sunny climates and by avoiding any retinols or vitamin A products on the area.
