MICROBLADED EYEBROWS BY SARAH R. LANE CUSTOM ART
Preparation is key!
There are some things you need to avoid before getting microbladed, namely, anything that will thin out your blood. If you drink a lot, take aspirin, or use retinol, stop one week before your treatment. Retinol makes your skin thin and then you bleed a little more, profuse bleeding pushes out pigment so that it doesn't stick as well. Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, anything caffeinated, and alcohol during the healing process.
It doesn't hurt (too much)
Pain is relative. Some feel more than others. Overall it feels like little scratches. You feel it, but it's not unbearable. Brows are prepped with topical numbing cream and throughout the process to dull the discomfort. If you have a low pain tolerance, it's best if you apply numbing cream for up to an hour beforehand.
Aftercare is essential
Aftercare means protecting freshly bladed brows from all moisture–no sweaty workouts, swimming, or washing your face with water for a whole week. If you get them wet, the scab comes off too early and you can lose the pigment.
Some patients experience itching and redness during the first week, which Vaseline can alleviate. Brows will look slightly darker at first, but the color will fade 30 to 40 percent. Aftercare ointments are provided during your first appointment.
You will also have to avoid using any makeup and other products on the brows while they heal. Treat it like an open wound, or fresh tattoo.
Results can last up to three years
Depending on the skin and lifestyle. Most people like to have a touch up yearly.
The brows' pigment will change over time
While they will be long-lasting, clients should have realistic expectations and understand the brows will naturally fade. Your body might metabolize pigment faster, or if your skin is oilier, the pigment breaks down faster.
Rates vary depending on the style of brows. The average service including one touch up is $350
