Microblading, a semipermanent procedure, is the art of embedding pigment beneath the skin with a specialized and sterile tool to create the illusion of strategically placed hair strokes for fuller and enhanced brows.

A series of strategically placed superficial cuts filled with pigment collectively work to create darker, fuller brows.

Discomfort is minimal and a numbing cream is used to insure a painless procedure. Most would compare the degree of discomfort to the feeling felt when threading their brows.

There are several stages which include; numbing, outlining the desired shape, the actual process of Microblading, and the fine tuning of the finished process. This usually takes roughly 2-3 hours.

Like any tattoo, swelling and redness is unavoidable. You may experience an intensified vibrancy from the pigment causing a temporary darkness to your brows. As they heal, the swelling will desist, the vibrancy will settle, and the colour will restore to a natural finish. For best results, please follow the detailed aftercare instructions linked here.

Please refer to our pricing page.

The best results generally come from a two step process. Touch ups allow us to analyze how the color regenerates beneath the skin and add in areas that may have healed incorrectly. Healed results are unique to each client and we do our best to create a consistent experience. Touch ups are beneficial for color restoration, shape correction, and/or any fine tuning the client desires and are highly recommended.

In short, yes. However, healed results are unique to each client. In our experience, dry skin typically heals to a finer(crisp) finish, while oily skin typically leads to a thicker(soft) healed stroke. Results vary and can be attributed to a number of factors including; skin type, aftercare, and environmental exposure.

You must be 18+ to receive a service at BROWZ_BY_MARIA. As a safety precaution, we refrain from working on individuals who are pregnant or nursing. If you have previously microbladed eyebrows by another artist, we do require a visual consultation via email before you are eligible to book an appointment. This is to ensure expectations and achievable results coincide with one another. If you are diabetic, you must insure your diabetes is well controlled. High blood sugar levels can complicate the healing process. We also refrain from working on individuals who are going through chemotherapy because they are at higher risks of bleeding and infection.

Approximately 18-24 months with proper aftercare and follow up appointment(s). Skin type and lifestyle can effect the longevity of your cosmetic tattoo – we can not guarantee specific results.

Gratuity is neither mandatory or expected, but is appreciated and fully left to the discretion of the client.

Due to the high volume of clientele we offer same day consultations that are included in the deposit fee. Any concerns and questions can also be addressed by emailing in a clear photo of your eyebrows to hello@browzbymaria.com for a free online consultation.

In some cases the client’s health might be put at risk, so it is necessary to find out more about their physical condition before arranging an appointment.

Microblading would not be suitable for people who:
• Take anticoagulant medications or alcohol, because they would bleed more than most clients
• Have insulin-dependent diabetes, as this can cause bad scarring
• Are allergic to any of the materials used in the treatment (for example an allergy to the pigment, latex gloves…)
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have a weak immune system as a result of chemotherapy. It is recommended that
clients wait at least a year after their last session
• Have keloid scars
• Wear a pacemaker
• Have recently had Botox applied in the area (it is necessary to wait four weeks)
• Suffer from inflammatory skin diseases in the treatment area, for example acne, eczema, rosacea, or dermatitis. In these cases it is advisable to treat the area with
dermatological treatments beforehand

In the 24 hours before a Microblading treatment, clients must avoid stimulants (such as tea, coffee, caffeinated drinks or drinks with theine), aspirins, alcohol and vasodilators.
In the week before, clients should avoid facial treatments, and should not sunbathe or expose their skin to UVA rays.

Clients should avoid exposing their skin to direct sun rays, and should not apply cosmetic powders, makeup or creams with active agents on top of their eyebrows during the first eight to 10 days. In addition, clients should avoid swimming pools, sunbeds, saunas, and any exercise which results in excessive sweating, as well as cosmetic treatments, peels and similar treatments.

Some post-treatment recommendations also depend on the client’s skin type; some clients will need to keep their skin dry by avoiding the use of creams, while others should ensure that they hydrate their skin well.

The recovery process is usually complete within 28 to 30 days. Accordingly, around four to six weeks after the first session it is possible to apply a touch-up.
In general, the recovery process includes several different phases, as outlined here:

Day 1: The client may experience an inflammation in the area which normally resolves itself shortly after the treatment. Eyebrows will appear up to 50 percent darker.

Days 2-3: In the days immediately following treatment, a small crust may form on the
eyebrows. Clients may also experience itchy skin as a result of the healing process. However it is crucial that the client avoids scratching the skin as this can affect pigment retention.

Days 4-7: Several days after the treatment is it normal to experience some flaking around the eyebrows. Clients often become worried about reduced colour retention during this stage.

Days 8-28: In the weeks following treatment, the pigment returns to the surface of the eyebrow area and the colour becomes more intensified.

In cases where the client has had previous Micropigmentation treatments on their eyebrows, it is necessary to evaluate whether the technique would be suitable according to the current state of the client’s skin and the saturation of the colour pigment.

This technique usually lasts up to 18 months. This time frame can depend on many factors, such as skin type (more oily skin, for example, usually rejects the pigment within a year), sun exposure, the client’s age, and whether the client has skin-regenerating facials (chemical peels, glyceric acid, microdermabrasion, laser treatments, mesotherapy etc.). However it is also clear that the specific technique, the quality of the pigments, and the type of needle used will all affect the final result and how long it lasts.
