What is microblading?

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing for eyebrows that involves depositing pigment into superficial layers of skin with a handheld device containing multiple needles to produce tiny incisions that resemble hair, much like powderfill would. Microblading has become popular among brow enthusiasts (including former Cosmopolitan beauty director Carly Cardellino ) but what exactly is it and how should you prepare for it? We consulted cosmetic tattoo specialist Piret Aava and dermatologist Tracy Evans MD in order to get answers about microblading.

Before getting this procedure done, it is essential that you refrain from wearing makeup on your brows and ensure they are clean and shaved before the appointment. Please remember that the color may fade over time; touch-ups may be necessary; in addition, make sure your esthetician is licensed and certified in this procedure.

How long does microblading eyebrows last?

If you are eligible for microblading, the healing process should last approximately one month. During that time, scabbing may occur but your brow area should heal quickly; during this period it’s recommended to forgo using makeup on or near the area as well as facial scrubs or peels on it.

Microblading lasts longer than regular eyebrow tattoos due to less ink being injected deep into your skin, yet over time its results do fade, necessitating touch up visits in order to maintain your look.

Your skin type can also determine how long a microblading treatment lasts; oilier complexions typically fade faster, so touch ups may need to take place more frequently. To maximize results, choose a practitioner with many positive reviews who specialize in microblading; they have an in-depth knowledge of how it affects each individual person and can ensure you reach optimal results with each session.

What is the price of microblading eyebrows?

Microblading eyebrows costs will depend on several variables. First and foremost is an artist’s experience and reputation; more seasoned artists typically charge higher prices as customers can trust they will deliver exceptional results.

After studio type and location are taken into consideration, studio fees vary accordingly. Studios with higher overhead costs often charge higher prices to cover staff and equipment expenses as well as any advertising costs in busy areas.

Brow color also plays an important role, with darker tones needing touch ups more frequently than lighter hues.

Where can I get microblading eyebrows?

Since bold and full brows have made a comeback, there is now an array of tools and techniques that promise to create sleek makeup-free brows in a semi-permanent fashion. Montreal’s premier beauty salons can take care of all your brow needs from threading, waxing and microblading services all the way through to microblading treatments.

Microblading uses hair-like strokes to create more defined, fuller eyebrow shapes without looking unnatural or overdone. Pigment used is custom mixed on-site to match your original brow color perfectly; mild discomfort may arise but numbing cream can often help ease it; results typically last up to 18 months before needing touch ups are necessary.
