Questions and answers

Microblading is an art form. It is the skilled, manual process of applying semi-permanent makeup to the eyebrows to shape each brow with extremely fine and delicate strokes. It should only be performed by fully trained, highly skilled Microblading specialists such as Beauty Brows. Ultra-fine deposits of high-quality tattoo pigment are implanted into the skin using the Microblading technique to make very fine incisions. Don't be alarmed by the word ‘incision’ – most clients feel nothing, and the procedure is almost completely painless! The results are worth it, too. You get a natural-looking, symmetrical brow shape created with semi-permanent makeup rather than the permanent alternative used for eyebrow tattooing.

We use anaesthetic during the treatment to relieve any discomfort. Pain is individual, but most clients compare it to the pain of plucking eyebrow hairs.

PhiBrows is a manual, semi-permanent Microblading technique for hyper-realistic eyebrow drawing. The shape of the brows is carefully calculated according to what is known as ‘facial morphology’. This highly skilled technique is intended for suitable clients who want to revive their brows by correcting one or more aesthetic issues with both brows. For the procedure and treatment to be carried out successfully by Beauty Brows, the skin must not be damaged or affected by existing skin conditions such as eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, acne, pimples or injuries in the eyebrow area. If your skin is damaged or affected by any of these conditions, please consult us before the treatment.

After your initial Microblading treatment, a “touch-up” is required approximately 4-6 weeks after the procedure. The touch-up is a critical part of the treatment for achieving the final result. 1-2 touch-ups may be needed depending on skin type. Essentially, it is the second and final stage of every successful treatment. A touch-up is needed because up to 15% of the hand-drawn strokes may fade and/or disappear in the days and weeks after the initial treatment. During the first week the pigment will look darker. This is completely normal! The colour fades by itself and lightens by up to 50% as the skin heals. The healing process itself takes about 28 days, which is why we wait 4-6 weeks before doing the touch-up. The purpose of the touch-up is to replace pigment and colour lost during healing. A touch-up is absolutely necessary for the whole Microblading treatment to be a complete success.

Your initial Microblading treatment should take between 2-3 hours. The touch-up session 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment usually takes approximately 1-2 hours.

Once your Microblading treatment and touch-up are complete, your revived brows can last up to 3 years. How long the results last depends on factors such as skin type, age, complexion and skincare. At a minimum, your new brows should last 12 months. We recommend a touch-up 12-18 months after your treatment.

Please avoid painkillers, caffeine, smoking and alcohol for 48 hours before the treatment, as these can cause more bleeding and poorer healing. Abrasive treatments such as peeling, fruit acids, chemical peels, laser treatments and similar should be avoided for one month before the treatment.

Healing after your primary Microblading treatment usually takes 14-28 days. The skin around both brows will be red immediately after the treatment, and you will probably notice some light scabbing in the days after the procedure. Both the redness and the scabbing are completely normal and an important part of healing – absolutely nothing to worry about!

You cannot have the treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Every client must sign a completed consent and consultation form before the treatment can begin. Microblading is not possible for everyone, and there are cases that will prevent Beauty Brows from performing the treatment. Existing medical conditions, skin conditions and irritations, as well as some allergies, can make it impossible for us to start your treatment. It's not that we don't want to – far from it! But our clients' health and well-being always come first in our decisions. Call us and ask if you are in doubt.
