What Is Microblading?

How The Procedure Works

How the procedure works will vary a little depending on who you select to do your microblading. Generally, it starts with the artist taking careful measurements and working with you to decide on the shape of your new eyebrows. They will then provide a numbing cream to make the whole area numb. After the cream takes effect, the needling process starts. This involves applying light strokes with the microblading tool to start filling in your eyebrows. The tool will initially do very thin, light strokes of color. To further boost your final color, the artist will smooth a layer of pigment over your entire brow area once they finish creating all the lines. This pigment settles into the needle strokes and deepens the color. Roughly six to eight weeks after your first appointment, your artist may give you the choice of getting a top-up session. This lets them fill in any areas where the pigment did not settle into the lines.
