Microblading Buffalo NY

This service is also known as eyebrow embroidery. This is similar to a hair stroke Brow tattoo or Micro-pigmentation. Micro-blading is done with a hand-held tool. The tool is like a paintbrush made of a very fine grouping of needles. The micro-blade is used to put tiny hair-like strokes of pigment into the skin, but it doesn't go as deep as a normal tattoo would. The difference is much more realistic look than any other technique prior to now.

Another added bonus: this is a semi-permanent procedure lasting two to three years and fades off in a very natural, subtle way. This unbelievably natural looking method can be used for scalp or hairline as well.

After Care

Proper care following your procedure is necessary to achieve the best results. Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of color is to be expected. This is the purpose of the touch-up visit. After 3-4 hours from your procedure, use the provided sterile water vial and cotton gauze to wipe the affected area. For the next 10 days, keep the affected area completely dry. NO heavy sweaty, NO make-up, NO creams.

Long Term Care

- Use a good sunscreen after 10 days, sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics
- If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please inform the technician/your care provider of your permanent cosmetics.
- The use of Retin­A/Tretinoin, chemical peels and acid peels or any other rapid skin exfoliation products used on the forehead area will cause the permanent makeup of the eyebrow area to fade prematurely.

Approximate Daily Healing Schedule

Days 1 - 2: Your brows are approximately 20-40% darker, bolder and more solid than your healed result. Under the pigment, the skin is red and pigment has been deposited into the layer of skin containing dead skin cells; combined giving the appearance of darker color. There may be minimal swelling but because typically the eyebrow area does not retain much fluid, the swelling will be limited. The top layers of skin will begin to shed in about day 5-7 days, and you will see a loss of color. This is normal. Do not scratch / pick!

Days 3 - 4: Your eyebrows may begin to itch and the pigment may appear somewhat raised. Do not scratch / pick!

Days 5 - 7: The skin is now rapidly exfoliating and will shed evenly if left alone. The color under the exfoliating skin will start to appear very light and day by day it will start to appear darker. Please be patient and give the color a couple of weeks to become darker.

Days 30 - 40: Now is the time to critique your brows, the tattoo has now become part of the dermis, seen under the epidermis.
