3D Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique in which pigment is applied into the upper dermis of the skin on eyebrows in strokes that resemble natural hair fibers. The microblading method is similar to a tattoo process, but because the pigment is not inserted as deeply, microblading will fade in time and brows will return to their original state. Additionally, the dye used it vastly different from tattoo ink, and is a more natural pigment that is safe and gentle on skin. The effects of microblading can last 1-2 years (and sometimes even longer) depending on your skin type, lifestyle and color chosen. Typically, clients retouch their microblading on an annual basis.

The eyebrows are said to be the frame of one’s face. For some, this frame can be sparse or uneven, affecting the look of the entirety of the face. The effect of microblading are more prominent, filled in eyebrows with crisp, neat lines. Microblading is often used to fill in sparse brows, even out eyebrows for a more symmetrical appearance or simply to make the eyebrows stand out more without having to apply it daily. Microblading allows the client to have complete control of the look of his or her eyebrows; specifically, clients can reconstruct, change shapes, fill in gaps or elongate eyebrows. The result will be natural and blend flawlessly with natural eyebrow fibers.

Prior to treatment, clients will meet with Lana for a consultation to determine if the client is a good candidate for microblading. If the client is a good fit for microblading, Lana will help her decide on shape. Determining the shape is an important process. Lana will evaluate the facial structure and features, current shape of the brow, brow and hair color, and, most importantly, the client’s preferences. The shape will be drawn on the brow by hand, and the client will be able to make any changes.

After the client decides on the shape of the eyebrow, Lana will assist the client in picking the perfect color to match complexation and hair color. This personalized color is unique for every client, and it will be catalogued for future touch-ups and applications. The pigment is gentle and regulated specifically for cosmetic purposes by FDA guidelines.

After the initial appointment for microblading, clients will be given an after-care cream to apply during the healing process. This cream should be applied with a Q-tip or a cotton round.

The brows will take up to two weeks to fully heel. Peeling and tenderness of the brows is normal during this period. The color of the brow may also lighten in the first few days.   Avoid the urge to pick or peel at eyebrows. In general, touching brows should be avoided during the healing process. In order to ensure the color saturates and brows heal properly, saunas, sweating, brow makeup, and sun exposure should be avoided for at least one week, facials, and swimming during the two-week healing process.
