ALL ABOUT THE TREATMENT
1. MAPPING
First we start with a quick consultation where you can ask me all the questions you have and telling me which kind of style you prefer for your new brows.
2. PRE DRAW
After I mapped out your brows I do the pre draw. As soon as you’re happy with your new shape, I will start the procedure.
3. COLOR
Now we choose the color together. The colors are very ashy and will look very warm (reddish) after the treatment which will subside in the next 2 days.
4. PIGMENTATION
First I start with the Microblading Strokes and after that I do the shading in between the strokes. . The procedure takes 1.5-2 hours.

Frequently asked questions
This technique is done by a handheld tool where I create fine strokes and after that I use a machine to create a soft powdered brow where the tail is dark and gradually blends into a lighter gradient towards the front of the brow.
It lasts around 1-3 years on average.
Between 2-3 hours.
If you had a correction you definitely need 1-2 touch ups. If you had virgin brows you might want a touch up.
I won’t shave your eyebrows and you won’t loose them after the treatment.
No, not if it’s done correctly. Microblading should never cause scars..
Please send me a picture of your brows to see if I can do a cover up or if we first have to remove the old PMU..

AFTER CARE:
The absolute best results come from keeping your brows extremely DRY for the next 10 days! Keeping them dry makes them retain more detail, better color, and more crisp.
The following must be avoided during all 7-30 days after procedure :
The first 7 days:
- Increased sweating
- Practicing sports
- Drinking alcohol in excess, as it may lead to slow healing of wound
- Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles
- Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris
The first 14 days:
- Swimming (14 days)
- Sun tanning or salon tanning (14 days)
- Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab (14 days)
The entire 30 days:
- Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic acid on the face or neck (30 days)
- Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment (30 days)
- Hot Sauna, Hot bath, or Jacuzzi
Please wash your face carefully around the eyebrow without getting water on the treated area. During the shower, keep your face away from the showerhead or take a bath.
Itching and flaking may appear during the first 7-14 days after procedure. However, experience has shown that by following these after-care instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear.
If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin, please contact me immediately, to discuss further instructions.
Contact a physician if any signs or symptoms develop such as the following: fever, redness at the site, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, elevated body temperature, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, and/or any green/yellow discharge that is foul in odor.
