3D Eyebrow Embroidery MicroBlading in San Francisco

Microblading (or eyebrow embroidery) is a relatively new, manual method. It is considered to be semi-permanent, as compared to the traditional hairstroke technique. It is done using a very fine blade to deposit pigments into the epidermis. Because we’re impacting color closer to the surface, the strokes appear crisp and very fine. The results are natural looking, hair-like strokes, regardless of the amount of hair present.

Minor swelling and redness right after treatment
Mild tenderness

DAY 3 - 5

Itchiness in the eyebrow area
Eyebrows will appear thicker in texture
Natural exfoliation begins
Do not pick at any dry areas

DAY 5 - 7

Skin will begin to scab and flake. Do not pull off any flaking.
The color will fade up to 60%. Your skin is still regenerating and naturally exfoliating. Wait at least 6-8 weeks to see the true color, as it seems to take on new strength, and it is only after 6 weeks that your touch-up/adjustment can be done.
Some unevenness of color is expected after scabbing has flaked off. This is the purpose of your touch-up visit allowing us to fine tune your enhancement.

DAY 7 - 10

The color finishes flaking off and new skin underneath appears softer and less visible for a few weeks. The color will slowly reappear weeks 3 - 6 of healing.
