We only consider your treatment complete when you have received the perfect care. Therefore, we only offer two-session packages.
The touch-up session will be conducted 4-5 weeks after your initial appointment. At this appointment, your specialist will assess how your skin has healed and perfect your eyebrows accordingly.
Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure. Therefore, it will gradually and naturally fade to varying degrees over time - this is the nature of microblading. A touch-up or “refresher session” is recommended at least once a year to keep the eyebrows looking their best. Please pay attention to our current special offers for regular customers!

7 to 14 days for complete healing
Es gibt keine «Ausfallzeiten», aber Ihre Augenbrauen werden in den ersten 7 Tagen dunkel und fleckig erscheinen. Wenn Sie an einer wichtigen Veranstaltung teilnehmen müssen, bitten wir Sie, die Behandlung auf nachher zu verschieben. Sie können auch 7 Tage lang kein Make-up oder Hautpflegeprodukte im Augenbrauen- und Stirnbereich verwenden.
The final result will appear after 5 to 10 weeks.
As the skin goes through the natural healing process, your eyebrows will look patchy and the color will appear muted. This is completely normal and expected. The color of your new eyebrows will be softer by up to 40 to 50 %. That's why it's crucial to come back within the suggested time for your touch-up session!

STEP 1: 1 HOUR AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Rinse your forehead very gently with a pH-neutral scented soap (Cetaphil) and warm water. Remove all soap. Pat the area dry with a clean cotton pad and apply a very thin layer of aftercare cream.

Repeat this step every hour for the first day of your procedure until you go to sleep.
STEP 2: FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS
For normal/oily/combination skin: Apply ointment 3x daily
For dry skin: Apply ointment 5x daily
Note: Customers with dry skin should place plastic wrap over their eyebrows overnight (after applying the ointment) to protect the eyebrows from drying.

Microblading is considered semi-permanent. The pigments are designed to fade naturally over time and will not leave your eyebrows looking blue or red like old traditional tattoos. Factors such as skin type, iron deficiency, lifestyle, pigment color (lighter colors fade more quickly), and sun exposure can affect the rate at which these pigments break down. For best results, it is recommended that you follow our aftercare instructions and touch-ups every 1-2 years or as often as necessary. Microblading requires at least two sessions. Touch-ups are normal and expected.
*Please note that final results cannot be guaranteed as everyone retains and breaks down pigment differently and touch-up appointments are recommended after 4-6 weeks so we can assess and perfect your new semi-permanent eyebrows.

Allergic reaction
Allergic reactions may occur if the patient cannot tolerate the products used. To avoid this, a sensitivity test should be carried out beforehand. Furthermore, no hyaluronic acid or Botox treatments must have taken place immediately before microblading. Otherwise there would be a contraindication. Due to the fact that microblading is not permanent, the chosen shade may change over the years. Slight red pigments or even a bluish undertone are possible here.
Mild pain
Anyone who is extremely sensitive will feel a slight pain despite the gentle method. Of course, the competence of the cosmetic studio and compliance with hygiene regulations are important. Only those who turn to an experienced professional can ensure that the result is flawless. However, if a beginner is confronted with the method, the fineness of the stitches and the consideration of the natural direction of growth could be carried out in less detail.
Bacteria and germs
At the same time, the treatment room should be sterile so that no bacteria or germs get into the open wounds. Last but not least, all materials, from the microbrushes to the blading pen and the knife, must be disinfected after each use. Finally, the expert scratches the desired color into the top part of the skin, creating tiny wounds. If they come into contact with contaminated tools, there could be serious consequences.
Other complaints
It is advisable to refrain from treatment during menstruation or if you are generally unwell until the symptoms have completely subsided. This reduces the risks of the technology many times over. As a result, beauty-savvy ladies can utilize pigmentation in multiple ways.

Those who are extremely sensitive will feel a slight pain despite the gentle method. It goes without saying that the competence of the cosmetic studio and compliance with hygiene regulations are important. Only those who turn to an experienced professional can ensure that the result is flawless. If, on the other hand, a beginner is confronted with the method, the delicacy of the stitches and the consideration of the natural direction of growth could be done in less detail.
Bacteria and germs
The treatment room should be sterile so that no bacteria or germs get into the open wounds. Last but not least, all materials, from the micro brushes to the blading pen to the knife, must be disinfected after each use. Finally, the expert scratches the desired color into the topmost part of the skin, creating the smallest of wounds. If they come into contact with contaminated tools, serious consequences could arise.
Other discomforts
It is advisable to refrain from treatment during menstruation or if you feel generally unwell until the symptoms have completely subsided. This reduces the risks of the technology fundamentally. As a result, beauty-loving ladies can take advantage of pigmentation in several ways.
