Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microblading by Master Brow Artist Tanya.

Most clients enjoy results for 9 to 18 months, influenced by skin type, sun exposure, and skincare. Oily skin can fade sooner. A recommended touch-up at six to twelve months preserves pigment, shape, and crisp microbladed strokes for lasting brows.

Topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort; most clients report mild pressure or tingling rather than pain. Sensitivity varies, so discuss pain management options during consultation. Temporary tenderness during healing is normal, while severe pain is uncommon.

Healing takes about four to six weeks: initial darkening, scabbing, and fading occur in the first two weeks, followed by pigment settling. Keep brows dry, avoid makeup and sun, and follow aftercare instructions. A follow-up refines final color and shape.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, excessive caffeine, and retinol products for several days prior. Arrive with clean skin and no eyebrow makeup. Bring reference photos and share medical history so Tanya can choose pigments and techniques safely and effectively.

Clients with active skin infections, uncontrolled diabetes, certain autoimmune disorders, pregnancy, or recent facial cosmetic procedures may be contraindicated. Please disclose medications and health conditions; Tanya will assess suitability and suggest safe alternatives if needed.

Typically two sessions are scheduled: an initial microblading appointment and a six to twelve week touch-up to perfect color and strokes. Occasional additional corrections may be needed for scarred or very oily skin to achieve optimal, lasting results.
