What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure to help you achieve fuller looking eyebrows. It helps you save time from having to pencil your eyebrows in everyday, providing semi-permanent results. It utilizes a small pen with little needles on the end to create small scratches on the surface of the skin on your eyebrows. This creates realistic and naturally looking hair strokes.
How Much Does Microblading Cost?
Microblading costs vary from person to person. It is an increasingly popular, safe, and affordable method that allows you to avoid having to tattoo your eyebrows. To discuss pricing, schedule a one-on-one consultation with us today. We’ll address any questions or concerns you might have.

How Is Microblading Performed?
Microblading uses a pen-like device with small needles on the end to create light scratches on your eyebrows to resemble hair. It is important to note that your eyebrows must first be numbed to minimize discomfort. The minimal damage can provide long-lasting results. Your skin naturally heals, resulting in thicker, lusher appearing eyebrows.
What Is Recovery Like After Microblading?
For the first few days after a microblading session, you might notice redness and scabs forming on the treated areas, but as your skin naturally heals, you will notice darker and fuller looking eyebrows. During the recovery process, we recommend that you avoid direct sunlight and keep the areas clean to help speed up recovery.
How Long Will My Microblading Results Last?
Microblading results typically last for 12-18 months, and your individual results can vary based on multiple factors, including the pigmentation of your skin. If you’d like to maintain these results even longer, annual sessions might be recommended.
