Microblading
Using a state of the art microblading tool, tiny precision hair strokes are created by hand, mimicking the natural direction and lengths of your brows. Pigments are then implanted into the channels created by the microblades in the dermal layer of the skin. The sensation is similar to a little scratch but you should not feel any discomfort.
As with the permanent makeup treatment the area will look 20-30% darker than the colour you have chosen in consultation, but this will fade within 3-4 days to reveal your chosen colour.
The treatment generally takes around 1-2 hours and will leave you with highly defined, ultra-realistic looking brows.
Microblading is perfect for those who want to fully reconstruct, define, cover gaps, or fill-in overplucked brows. Microblading is an embroidery of small, precise strokes that mimic the effect of real hairs, and uses a special microblading pen to individually draw on the strokes. It is a cosmetic technique that creates the appearance of fuller, perfectly shaped eyebrows by applying a semi-permanent makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What we offer at Deluxe Aesthetics Clinic?
​
Eyebrow restoration
​
Many women use microblading to restore the look of their eyebrows after experiencing hair loss from tweezing, age or other factors.
​
No more daily makeup
​
Since the pigment is semi-permanent, you don’t have to worry about applying makeup every time you want fuller- looking eyebrows.
​
Overall enhancement and shape
​
Even if you already have full eyebrows, it may not be the shape you’d prefer.
How does it work?
​
Micro-blading is a method of applying of semi-permanent make-up. Micro-blading is done by manually inserting pigment into the upper layers of skin to give the impression of fullness and shape to the eyebrows. It is done via a manual blade so strokes are sharp and crisp. The results of this method should look natural and just like hair strokes. Semi-permanent makeup involves having pigment implanted into the epidermis using a fine needle – similar to a tattoo but the process is less painful, the “ink” used is usually mineral based and the results are not permanent.
​
When it comes to having micro-blading done, a technician will take six measurements on your brow bone to make out the perfect shape for your brows. The process usually takes between one a half to two hours and at least one touch up will be needed to get your final result.
​
The healing process is relatively quick – but final results may not be visible until several weeks after your appointment because of how the skin heals. The results will not wash off and usually last for a couple of years – but can be maintained and kept for longer with touch ups, usually one a year.
Before the Microblading treatment
​
Leading up to your appointment, you should avoid plucking or waxing your brows because your technician will be making your new brow shape based on current measurements they’ll make before starting the procedure. You should also avoid using exfoliators 72 hours before the application, like any skincare products containing glycolic acid, retinol, and alpha hydroxy acids, since they may inflame the skin, and taking medications such as blood thinners. The goal is for the skin to be as insensitive to the procedure as possible to limit bleeding.
What to expect during my Microblading appointment?
​
Numbing cream is applied to your eyebrows, which numbs the area to ensure your comfort during the treatment. We begin your treatment by using a microblade to make tiny cuts into “your approved design” of the drawn-on eyebrows, while creating hair strokes.
We then apply our custom-mixed pigments over the top of the tiny hairstrokes, After a few minutes of allowing the color to settle, we will wipe away the excess pigment and that’s it! You’re ready to show off your beautiful new eyebrows to the world.
What results can I expect to see and how many do I need?
​
After the treatment, you may notice a little pinkness around your eyebrows upon completion of your first treatment. You’ll notice that this will disappear within a couple of hours. Overall, you will LOVE your brows immediately!
Initially, your eyebrows will appear darker. During the next week to ten days, you’ll notice a lightening/softening of colour, as you’ll lose approximately 30% of the color during this time.
You should avoid getting your eyebrows wet and avoid touching or rubbing them during the first ten days.
Facts
​
Our microblading treatments require two visits. Your initial appointment will generally take approximately 90 minutes. We will consult with you to get an idea of how you want your “dream eyebrows” to look.
We will then begin to design the shape of your new brows… with a brow pencil.
We utilize the 3D eyebrow technique by applying hair strokes across eyebrow ridges, thus creating a realistic, 3D effect. The actual depth of the microblade will also vary on each hair stroke for even more realistic results.
