After a previous consultation in my Microblading Studio in Cascais, where I explain you the details and the medical requirements the
First step is mapping your brows shape according the “golden ratio” and face morphology, we decide the brow arch and the thickness.
Then we determinate together the color depending on your natural hairs color and skin tone.
 
Ultra-fine deposits of high-quality tattoo pigments are implanted into the skin, using the Microblading hand tool .
 
  • Before the appointment begins, the artist will provide a quick consultation to discuss expectations and results of the treatment.
  • The artist then draws on the eyebrow shape according to the PhiBrows golden ratio measuring tool. Brows are measured perfectly to complement your unique face shape and size.
  • Next, the artist chooses the perfect PhiBrows color.
  • Initial strokes are placed, then anesthetic is applied to reduce any discomfort.
  • Pigment is worked into each stroke to define the brow.
  • After, a pigment mask is left to absorb into the skin.
  • Once that’s finished, the artist cleans the area thoroughly.
  • After the service, the artist will provide Skin Candy ointment to use for 7 days twice a day.
Make sure to avoid ALL of the following:
 
  • Increased sweating, practicing sports, swimming, hot sauna, hot bath or jacuzzi, sun tanning or salon tanning.
  • Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycol Acid on the face or neck.
  • Picking, peeling or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.
  • Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris.
  • Drinking alcohol in excess as it may lead to slow healing of wounds.
  • Driving in open air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles or motorcycles.
  • Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab.
  • Before showering apply a layer of Skin Candy ointment to protect your eyebrows from moisture. During the shower keep your face away from the shower head. Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post microblading procedure, However, experience has shown that by following these aftercare instructions these symptoms may quickly disappear.
  • Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly. 

Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. True reflection of healed color can only be assessed 3-4 weeks after treatment. Touch-ups and/or correction of the shape/design is recommended at least 4 weeks after initial treatment. It will go from too dark, to too light, to just right! 

 

Phase 1

Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear very sharp and dark. This is because the pigment is still seating on top of your skin and has not yet settled in completely. The color of the pigment will soften gradually (do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton swab as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin). 

 

Phase 2

Once the healing of the skin starts taking place it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.

 

Phase 3
Your eyebrows will be the lightest tones during days 5-12 because the color is absorbed in the deeper layers of the skin. Later skin cells push it back to the upper layers. Once the healing is completed, you will enjoy a pair of beautiful, new, natural looking eyebrows.
 
Result
The results are worth it, too. You’ll have a natural-looking, symmetrical brow shape created using semi-permanent makeup, rather than the permanent alternative used in eyebrow tattooing.

Is Microblading painful?
The service can be a little uncomfortable for those who are more sensitive. However, there is an anesthetic applied during to keep this to a minimum to where it is completely tolerable.
 
How does it works?
The pigment is applied with a specific Phibrows tool that has a row of several fine needles to create thin hair like marks in the skin.
The pigment is bladed just below the epidermis and the most shallow part of the dermis, making extremely fine natural looking hair strokes. A very natural result is achieved, as the hairs are bladed into the skin according to the natural hair growth direction. A touch up is included 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment.
 
How long does the procedure takes?
The appointment should take about three hours.
