What is Microblading?
Microblading is known by many names. For example, micro stroking, feather stroke brows, 3D brows, and micro-pigmentation. It is the process of manually implanting brow-colored pigment. This pigmentation is carefully selected to match your skin tone and natural color into the dermis. Finally, sterile disposable needles are used to produce the appearance of natural brow hair.
Does Microblading Hurt?
The level of discomfort is client-dependent but is often very mild. Prior to the procedure, I will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area. I will re-apply if necessary during the procedure. Everyone responds differently to an anesthetic. The sensation has been described as light cat scratches. However, some claim to not feel anything at all.
After the procedure, redness and slight swelling in the area are normal. Clients describe the area as feeling similar to a light sunburn. In addition, clients may take Tylenol but not aspirin or ibuprofen. Read more on our “Does Microblading Hurt?” blog post about this very topic!

Can I Get Microblading While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
As a precaution, I don’t perform Microblading or permanent make
up on pregnant or nursing women.
What Is The Difference Between Microbladed And Ombre Brows?
Microblading is a permanent makeup technique that mimics the appearance of natural brow hair. Whereas, ombré brows achieve a powder-filled look that is gradually darker at the base and tail of the brow. While being lighter at the top and bulb of the brow. Ombré can be soft or intense, depending on client preference.
Who Is Not A Good Candidate For Micoblading or Ombré Brows?
- History of Keloids or Hypertrophic scarring
- Diabetic (requires doctor’s clearance)
- Chemotherapy (consult your doctor)
- Viral infections and/or diseases
- Epilepsy
- Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area. For example, rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.
- Accutane in the past year
- Heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, poor general health
- And finally, any treatment, medication, or illness that compromises the immune system/healing. This will renders you NOT a good candidate for micro-pigmentation procedures.

Can Microblading Hide/Cover My Scars?
It’s great for that! However, I recommend sending me a photo of your eyebrows without makeup so I can review. Then I can let you know whether you’re a candidate.
Does Microblading Work On All And Skin Types?
If you have very oily skin, large pores, or a tendency to keloids, I do not recommend microblading. I do recommend instead ombré brows. This will give you better and longer-lasting results. Want to know the difference between ombre brows and microblading?
