Microblading Staffordshire

Typically results last 1-3 years - a few factors will affect how long the microblading lasts including skin type, lifestyle factors, sun exposure, smoking and skin care products. Most clients return for a top up to maintain their results when the pigment begins to fade, this is usually after 12-18 months but can vary from person to person.

Everyone has a different pain threshold so we can never guarantee the treatment will be totally pain free, however every effort is made to ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout. Most clients say it's a 2 or 3 out of 10, and feels similar to having your brows tweezered. In fact lots of people fall asleep during their treatment!

There are a few factors that will determine wether microblading is the right treatment for you. Firstly your skin type - microblading heals best on normal to dry skin types. Oilier skin types with large pores may find the strokes fade quicker and may be better suited to a powder brow. Clients with very thin skin or those who have conditions like eczema and rosacea may also not be suitable for microblading and may want to consider a powder brow instead.

The brows will be fully healed after around 5 weeks, however the aftercare period only lasts 14 days. During that time you’ll be provided with aftercare products to use and instructions on how to care for your new brows whilst they heal. It's normal for the brows to look darker when they are first done, once they have healed the pigment typically fades by around 40%.

The ingredients in microblading pigments are very different to those in hair dye, so it’s highly unlikely you would be allergic to them. However we always patch test before a microblading treatment to minimise the risk of any unwanted reactions.

That depends! If the previous work has faded significantly it may be possible to microblade over. Always consult your artist if you have an existing brow tattoo to ensure you are suitable for the treatment.

No, you should allow your brows to heal for a minimum of 2 weeks before going on holiday. Once the 2 week period is over you will be able to protect your brows from the sun by applying sun cream to the area.

We advise waiting at least 3-4 days before doing any heavy, strenuous exercise where you'd be sweating as this could effect your pigment retention, and risk infection.

If in the unlikely event you don’t like your new brows, there are a few options when it comes to removal. Saline and laser are the two most popular options for lightening unwanted microblading. As with any procedure, make sure you do your research - don’t choose your brow artist based on price alone, instead look at the quality of their work and client reviews/testimonials.

No one style is better than the other, it all depends on your skin type, natural brow growth and the look you are trying to achieve. Microblading is better for fine, dry skin types and less suitable to oily skin types with large pores as the strokes will blur over time due to oils in the skin, whereas a shaded ombre without hair strokes is the preferred style for oily skin with large pores.

Nano brows (otherwise known as hairstroke brows) and microblading are very similar. Both achieve a natural result, however nano brows/hairstroke brows are created using a digital machine whereas microblading involves using a handheld tool to implant the pigment.
