FAQ's

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Microblading is a technique where fine lines are scratched into the surface of the skin, and pigment embedded. The strokes accurately replicate hair (as in a brow or hairline). Results can last from 12-36 months, depending on a variety of factors such as color of pigment, skin type, and lifestyle.

HOW LONG DOES THE RESULT LAST?

For brows, results vary but normally the procedure lasts anywhere from 18 months up to 36 months. Occasional touch ups may be needed based on skin type, skin sensitivity, sun exposure, pigment color, and lifestyle. Results may vary. Please note even if not visible to the eye, there will always be vestigial pigment permanently embedded in the skin.

IS IT PAINFUL?

We use effective numbing creams that are FDA approved. On a scale of 1 to 10 with “1” being no discomfort, clients often experience between a 2 and 3 with the Brow treatment. Other factors such as menstrual cycles also affect level of sensitivity.

IS IT SAFE?

All our pigments are cosmetic grade, meaning that they are sterilized and purified for cosmetic use. The ingredients used have been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. Be wary of products that have not met safety standards, including those that contain “vegetable dyes” that are unstable and may change color after time. In addition, all our tools are single-use and discarded after the treatment. Our specialists are highly trained and experienced professionals.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?

There is no downtime, however the brow will take about one month to fully heal. The brow will soften in color by up to 40-50%. During this period, after-care procedures should be carefully followed.

WHAT IS THE PERFECTING 2ND SESSION?

The Perfecting Session, done within two months of the initial treatment, is extremely important to ensure perfect results. We use this session to set the shape and color, and make any small adjustments if needed.

OTHER FAQs FOR BROW MICROBLADING:

WHO SHOULD AVOID MICROBLADING (CONTRAINDICATIONS/RESTRICTIONS)

Those prone to keloids or post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. Unfortunately, since microblading punctures the skin as we add ink, we cannot work with clients with these conditions.
If you have a transmittable blood disease such as HIV or Hepatitis. Again, microblading artists cut the skin so it is our policy not to work with these conditions.
If you’ve had Juvederm or other fillers in that area. Depending on the timing, we recommend to get microblading first! Otherwise, check with your doctor. Many artists may request a note from your doctor first.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy. Although microblading is great for restoring eyebrows, we would require a doctor’s note in order to perform the procedure for anyone undergoing chemotherapy. Once you're cleared, however, microblading is a great solution for cancer survivors.
If you have any kind of skin condition on or near your eyebrows. This includes eczema, shingles, rashes, or anything else near eyebrows.
Those with oily skin. Those with very oily skin are unfortunately not good candidates for microblading. Those with less oily or combination skin, may consider a microblading plus shading combo.
Those with a dark pre-existing eyebrow tattoo or permanent makeup. The tattoo or permanent makeup must be light enough for us to draw hairstrokes. We ask anyone with a previous eyebrow tattoo to send us an email with a picture of their eyebrows with no makeup on, so we can evaluate.
Those with allergies to alcohol or numbing agents. If you think you might have an allergy to our ink, numbing cream, or alcohol (which is in the ink), then you may have a reaction to our work.
Children. Microblading is for adults only! We do not recommend microblading for anyone under the age of 18. It is our policy at KEFI not to work with children, even with a consent form.

This covers the major things that might exempt you from getting microblading. If you want to see a complete list, please check out our Terms and Conditions.

SHOULD I DO BOTOX BEFORE OR AFTER MICROBLADING?

Botox should be done after Microblading. Your doctor will be able to determine where to place Botox injections without altering the brow position. Should you decide to cease Botox treatments, brows will settle at original balanced position.

CAN I HAVE A CHEMICAL PEEL OR LASER TREATMENT BEFORE MICROBLADING?

Please avoid chemical peels or laser treatments at least four weeks before Microblading. These treatments can make your skin thinner and more sensitive, resulting in more bleeding which can affect color retention. Wait four weeks after Microblading before doing chemical peels and laser treatments to allow the brow to fully heal.

SHOULD I TINT MY EYEBROWS BEFORE MICROBLADING?

This is not necessary. Your brow will also be darker than usual immediately after the treatment.

SHOULD I COLOR MY HAIR BEFORE MICROBLADING?

Yes, so we can match your brow to your hair color. However it is important that you let your Specialist know your original/ true hair color, as this information and your skin tone, will help them create the brow color that is the best match.

SHOULD I SHAPE MY BROWS BEFORE MICROBLADING?

Brow shaping is part of our treatment. When you go for brow shaping maintenance after Microblading, request that your esthetician follow your existing brow shape.

CAN I HAVE A FACIAL BEFORE MICROBLADING?

Please avoid facials at least two weeks before Microblading. Some intensive facial treatments can make your skin thinner and more sensitive, resulting in more bleeding which can affect color retention. Wait two weeks after Microblading before doing facials, to allow the brow to fully heal.

CAN I GO TANNING BEFORE MICROBLADING?

Yes, but please let your Specialist know your original/ true skin color (e.g. show them a picture, or patch of skin that is not tanned), as we will need this information to create the color that is the best match, and ensure results look natural after your tan fades.

I AM PLANNING TO HAVE BROW IMPLANTS IN ADDITION TO MICROBLADING, WHEN SHOULD I DO THIS?

Do the brow implants first, and then Microblading. We will perfect the brow shape..
