We have separated the main doubts about the procedures to make everything clear for you.
Many clients doze off and take a nap during the procedure! There will be continous numbing throughout the procedure. No pain at all for many, and a little stinging for some. We apply numbing cream before and during the procedure to ensure no pain is felt during the process.
You should get a touch up 30 to 45 days after the procedure.
Because pigment is under the shallow layer of the skin, anything that encourages your skin to peel or regenerate new skin will make Microblading fade faster. Exfoliation, facial laser, retinol, sun exposure, tanning or anything that helps with skin regeneration are all factors that could lead to fading. Applying sunscreen over your brows is very important.
For previously Microbladed friends , it’s best to schedule an in-person free consultation or a FaceTime session to take a look to make sure we can deliver what you are looking for.
Microblading procedure is recommended to be done 1 month before/after your botox/laser treatment.

Final results vary with each person, and will appear clearly 4 weeks after time of service.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Lips may appear darker in color for the first 24 hours. This is normal and temporary.

Lipstick/tint can be applied to the lips after 5 days (once flaking has completed).
The tattoo may appear much lighter after the dead skin comes off. The color will continue to change over the next 6 weeks (up to 10 weeks for melanin-rich lips), at which point the final color will finally “bloom” in the skin. Final results vary with each person.
