MICROBLADING SAN DIEGO
Microblading is a semi-permanent and less invasive solution for thicker and fuller eyebrows.This procedure is a form of semi-permanent tattooing in which specialists utilize a disposable blade that is made up of fine-point needles, instead of a traditional tattoo gun. The specialist uses this blade to gently scratch the surface of your skin in strokes while depositing pigment, creating hair-like marks that mimic the look of your natural eyebrow hairs.
EYEBROW EMBROIDERY
Microblading can be used for any eyebrow correction. From small alterations to full reconstruction, microblading is excellent for anyone wanting to enhance the look of their eyebrows. Those who have little to no eyebrows, due to natural thinning from age or over-tweezing, can experience a full transformation from just one session.
At the beginning of the procedure, our specialists customize the perfect pigment to match your natural or desired brow color, taking into consideration your skin tone and undertones.

microblading FAQ
HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST?
The pigmentation from microblading typically lasts between 6 months to 2 years. Variation depends on your skin type (normal, dry, oily) and age, as well as your skincare routine and aftercare. Patients who tan or use products containing AHA or Glycolic Acid will fade faster as these products will cause your skin to regenerate quicker. We suggest a touch up every 1-1.5 years to maintain the fresh look of the brows.
IS MICRONEEDLING PAINFUL?
The pain for the procedure is reported to be mild discomfort to moderate. At the beginning of the session, your brow specialist will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area. Since each person has a different response to anesthesia, the feeling may vary between light scratches to irritating pressure.
There will be redness and slight swelling after the procedure. This is normal. You can use Tylenol to ease any pain, however, we advise you to avoid ibuprofen or aspirin prior to treatment since those painkillers may cause excess bleeding.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
For the first session, the procedure can vary between 2-4 hours depending on the desired results. Following touch-ups, which take place 4-6 weeks after the initial appointment, will take approximately 1.5-2 hours for a session.
WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS LIKE?
Right after the procedure, the affected areas may have redness with some swelling and the color will appear very dark. As the area heals, the color will gradually fade. Days following the session, there will be scabs that form. Do not pick these scabs as it may damage the final outcome.
It takes 1-2 weeks for the brows to heal, and another month for the color to set in completely.
IS IT NECESSARY TO GET A TOUCH UP?
Yes. Everyone heals differently and outcomes will vary. Since some areas may not pick up pigmentation from the first session, we advise a touch up every 4-6 weeks for any areas that need refilling or adjusting. You can use these sessions to adjust the pigment color or add more thickness and strokes to your brows. We will refine your eyebrows to ensure it looks perfect and, overall, maintain this perfect look.
