What is Microblading?
Microblading is a permanent makeup technique that enhances the shape, fullness, and definition of your brows using fine, hair-like strokes. Each stroke is carefully placed to blend seamlessly with your natural brow hair, creating a realistic, full appearance.
At Dermaluxe Spa, our award-winning artists customize every treatment to match your skin tone, facial features, and desired style. The result is beautifully shaped brows that look soft, natural, and effortless.

What to expect
Perfect brows every day
Your microblading experience begins with a detailed consultation to understand your goals and design the perfect brow shape for your face. Using the Golden Ratio mapping method, we outline your brows to achieve ideal symmetry and balance.
Once the shape is approved, we select the perfect pigment to match your natural hair and skin tone. Our artists then use a specialized hand tool to gently implant pigment into the skin, creating precise, realistic hair strokes that mimic natural growth.
The process takes about two hours, and results last anywhere from one to three years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

What should I know before my microblading appointment?
Brow Pre-Care: What to Know Before Your Permanent Makeup Appointment
To get the best results from your brow procedure at Dermaluxe Spa, please follow these guidelines:
Avoid plucking, waxing, or tweezing your brows in the week leading up to your appointment.
Do not use dyes, bleaches, or semi-permanent gels that stain the skin in the brow area.
Refrain from taking blood-thinning supplements or medications such as Aspirin, Fish Oil, Niacin, Vitamin E, and Ibuprofen for 48–72 hours prior (unless medically necessary).
Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 48 hours before your procedure, as they can increase sensitivity and bleeding.
If you’re on anticoagulants, consult your doctor and get permission to stop usage for at least 5 days before your appointment.
Hydrate well the day before—healthy, hydrated skin heals better.
Schedule Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin at least 2 weeks before or after your brow tattoo.
No chemical peels or laser treatments on the face for 6 weeks before your appointment.
Stop using prescription retinoids (like Retin-A) at least 2 weeks prior.
Avoid tanning or sun exposure to the brow area for at least 2 weeks before and after treatment.
What should I do after my microblading appointment?
Healing times can vary depending on your skin and the area treated, but following proper aftercare is essential for the best results. For the first 10 days after your permanent makeup treatment, please avoid the following:
Touching the Area: Keep hands away to prevent introducing bacteria or causing infection.
Picking or Scratching: Let any scabbing or flaking naturally shed—picking can lead to pigment loss or scarring.
Water Exposure: Keep the area dry. Avoid long showers, swimming, hot tubs, or steam rooms.
Sweating: Skip intense workouts and saunas, as sweat can disrupt the healing process.
Makeup: Do not apply makeup on or near the treated area until it’s fully healed to avoid irritation or infection.
Skincare Products: Avoid lotions, exfoliants, retinoids, or acids on the treated area unless specifically advised.
Sun Exposure: Protect the area from direct sunlight and skip tanning beds to prevent fading and irritation.
Sleeping on Your Face: Try to sleep on your back to avoid pressure and friction on the healing area.
Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit both, as they can thin your blood and potentially slow the healing process.
Facial Treatments: Postpone any facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments until your skin is fully healed.
Following these steps helps preserve your results and ensures a smooth healing experience. Always refer to the personalized instructions given to you at your appointment.
How long does the microblading procedure take?
The duration varies depending on the area being treated and the complexity of the design. Typically, a session can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.
What is microblading and how long does it last?
Microblading is a wonderful way to enhance your natural beauty, and it’s designed to last for a good while. Typically, it can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, and often even longer, depending on factors such as your skin type, aftercare routine, and lifestyle habits.
Individuals with oily skin may find that the pigments fade faster. Similarly, those who engage in activities that cause excessive sweating, such as hot yoga, swimming, or sun exposure, may also notice quicker fading. On the other hand, individuals with normal to dry skin may find that the pigments last longer. Additionally, people who take good care of their skin by avoiding exfoliants and acids around the brow area that may cause fading, may also find that the results last longer.
Are touch-ups necessary?
Yes, touch-ups are often necessary for microblading. The initial application may not achieve the desired color intensity, so a touch-up helps fine-tune the pigment. Some areas may fade more quickly than others, and a touch-up ensures even color distribution. Adjustments may also be needed to perfect the shape and symmetry. Additionally, touch-ups help maintain the appearance over time, as all permanent makeup gradually fades. We recommend a touch-up within 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure, with maintenance touch-ups every 1-2 years depending on the individual’s skin type and lifestyle.
Can you correct previous microblading done elsewhere?
It depends on the individual whether we can fix microblading done elsewhere. In most cases, we are able to help, but at times we may not accept clients. Several factors come into play, including the number of sessions previously done, the placement of ink (wrong shape), the color of the ink used (unnatural colors like blue, green, or purple), and the saturation (too dark). Not every client is a candidate for corrections, and in some cases, removal may be required before any further work can be done. If there is too much scar tissue, residual color, or hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation even after removal, we will not offer additional permanent makeup services. Each situation is unique, and a thorough consultation is necessary to determine the best course of action.
Who should avoid microblading (contraindications)?
Before booking your brow treatment, it’s important to be aware of any conditions or factors that could interfere with healing, pigment retention, or overall results. Please review the following contraindications and consult with us if any apply to you:
Skin Irritations or Conditions: This includes active acne, rosacea, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, rashes, or any infection in the brow area. The skin must be calm and healthy before your appointment.
Recent Botox: If you’ve had Botox injections near the brow area within the past two weeks, please wait until the area has fully settled.
Use of Retinol or Tretinoin: Discontinue the use of Retin-A, Tretinoin, or other retinoids for at least two weeksbefore your appointment. These products increase skin sensitivity and can lead to poor pigment retention.
Recent Cosmetic Procedures: Chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or microneedling in the brow area require at least four weeks of healing before permanent makeup can be performed.
Extremely Oily Skin or Enlarged Pores: Oily skin and large pores may impact how well pigment retains and heals. A consultation is highly recommended to discuss realistic expectations and alternatives.
Eyebrow Hair Transplant: If you’ve had a hair transplant in the brow area, we are unable to proceed with additional permanent brow treatments, as it may interfere with the transplanted follicles.
