How Long Does It Last?
Everyone is different but it will typically last 1 to 3 years. You may only need touch-ups annually but some clients can require a touch-up every 3 months.
Does It Hurt?
Microblading is designed to be a gentle procedure with minimal discomfort. The degree of discomfort will depend on several factors such as, you opt for anesthetics, location of the treatment, and your pain threshold. In the beginning you will feel a scratching feeling while we are marking the shape and design of the brow. A numbing cream is then applied which is absorbed into the skin within a few seconds. Once the cream has completely absorbed you will have very little feeling.
