What to Expect Out Of Microblading

/

Microblading is a semi-permanent brow treatment that uses a very, very fine little blade made up of what are essentially nine pins to deposit pigment into the skin. Unlike tattooed make up, there are no machines or needles involved and the overall effect is a much more natural look. The treatment is carried out completely by hand after an in-depth consultation, which means that hair-like strokes can be strategically placed in ‘real’ looking directions, lengths and positions. The tiny blade essentially scratches the skin, leaving behind the color.

Does it hurt?

This is the number one question we have been asked, and the number one question I wanted answered before I went to my first appointment. Everyone has a different pain threshold. I’d say it sits somewhere around the middle of the scale .Most are pleasantly surprised by how little pain is felt. Numbing cream was applied beforehand. It was scratchy and a little annoying but it didn’t actually hurt and most are relieved to find that the scratches didn’t even sting. Once the initial layer had been done, We apply a second coat of numbing cream, you can expect to feel a slight prodding and poking around your brow area. If you’ve ever had your eyebrows threaded, the pain is nothing like that. Clients have said they rather an hour of microblading than 10 minutes of threading. 

How much does it cost?

The full microblading treatment at InkCredible Outcomes includes the consultation, color matching, patch test numbing, and first appointment. Prices range from $350-$500 (depending on client’s needs). Four to six weeks later, you will require a touch-up that ranges $150-$200. The initial appointment is the most expensive part and a touch-up once a year costs $250. Most businesses offering microblading charge anywhere from $350-$1,000 depending on regional location, skill-set and experience.

How long does it last?

The treatment lasts about a year, some people choose to get the color refreshed sooner while others wait longer. Because you don’t have to fuss over your brows every day, a lot of people find that microblading helps their natural brows to grow thicker and healthier in the process!
