Get answers to common questions about Microblading 1st Appointment.

During your initial session we map brows, match pigment, and hand-draw strokes. Expect shaping, numbing, and about two hours total. A detailed aftercare plan and touch-up appointment will be scheduled to perfect color and shape.

Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, caffeine, and intense sun exposure 24–48 hours before. Discontinue retinol or acid exfoliants two weeks prior. Arrive with clean skin and no brow tint or filler for accurate mapping.

Most clients report mild pressure rather than sharp pain. We apply topical numbing and work gently; some sensitivity may occur during pigment strokes but discomfort is usually brief and manageable.

Results typically last twelve to eighteen months depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Oily skin and sun exposure may fade faster; a six- to eight-week touch-up and yearly maintenance are recommended.

Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, keloid tendency, recent Botox or chemical peels, blood-thinning medications, and certain autoimmune conditions. A consultation and medical history review determine eligibility.

A touch-up is scheduled 6–8 weeks after the initial appointment to refine strokes and correct pigment. After that, annual refreshers are recommended to maintain color and shape depending on your skin and lifestyle.
