What is Microblading?

 

Mircoblading is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that fills in thin eyebrow areas to help make them look fuller. This is achieved by using a tiny scalpel-like blade to make hair-like incisions throughout the brow structure and then implanting those strokes with a complementary pigment. The process creates beautiful seemingly seamless full brows.

 

How Long Does Microblading Last?

 

Microblading, though a tattoo process is considered semi-permanent, meaning it will fade over time, so a color refresh is recommended on average from 12-18 months after initial procedure in order to retain strokes.

 

How Often Do I Need Microblading Touch-Ups?

 

Your initial procedure will include a discounted touch up appointment at 8 weeks post procedure (after brows are healed) the reason for this is to create a fuller brow and also to address any areas that may have not taken fully during the healing process. *Yearly color maintenance / refreshing touch ups will have a different fee.

 

Does Microblading Hurt?

 

Before the process is performed you can be treated with a topical anesthetic to numb the area, but you must first consult your primary care physician and obtain a prescription for over the counter 5% lidocaine, this script must be given to your technician to keep on file in order for them to administer numbing for your procedure.

*Evoluer Microblading and PMU suggests holding back from using any numbing treatment if you can manage it, the results are far crisper and & heal so much better than if it is used.

 

How Long is the Healing / Recovery Time?

 

Everyone heals differently but on average healing takes about 7-10 days. Generally, within the first two days your brows will begin to appear darker, this is natural, they will begin to soften and flake as they heal (don't worry this is natural) do not pick at them and simply let them go through the process of healing. Once your cosmetic tattoo has passed through this phase it should begin to sharpen back up and be as beautiful as when you initially had the service performed. *Proper aftercare plays a very big part in the outcome of your brows; follow the instructions you will be given in your welcome packet closely during the entire healing process.

 

How Does My Technician Choose the Shape of My Brows?

 

Shape and style are customized for you individually through a mapping process that involves using your bone structure as a guide, measurements will then be used to make them as symmetrical as possible. The final decisions about the positioning of your brows is something we will do together. Evoluer Microblading and PMU technicians will not start the blading process without first being assured of your comfort and confidence in the shape chosen for you.

 

How Does My Technician Choose a Color?

 

You and your technician will also make this choice together. This is done by simply placing pigment swatches on your skin close to the brows to see what one compliments your skin tone and natural brow hair best. *if you tint your brows regularly you MUST tint them 2-3 days prior to your appointment. Remember, when choosing your color - it is likely to fade up to 50% following your first visit.

 

What Type of Pigment My Technician Use?
