Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent brow tattoo technique applied without using a machine. The technique is applied using a hand-held tool with a disposable blade attached. By dipping the blade into your chosen pigment, hair strokes are created with pigment being implanted into the skin.
Unlike body tattoos which use ink, Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo using pigments. These pigments are designed to fade over time which allows the artist to make changes to the colour or shape over the years as required.
Microblading is perfect for those who wish to add fullness to their existing brows. Ideal for clients who may have overplucked over the years or their brows have become thinner over time. This can be the ideal solution.
FAQs
How long does it last?
The treatment is classed as semi-permanent and will fade over time. To keep your brows looking their best a touch up is recommended every 12–18 months. The speed in which they fade will depend on a few factors:
Pigment Colour – Lighter colours will fade quicker.
Skin Type – Oily skin will fade faster.
Anti-ageing Products – Products which contain ingredients such as Tretinoin (Retin-A) and Alpha Hydroxy will cause the brows to fade quickly as they increase cell turnover rate.
Does it hurt?
We try to ensure we do all we can to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

This can be purchased from us during your consultation or from any chemist off the shelf.
