How long does Microblading last?
Eyebrow microblading generally lasts about 1-3 years, depending on skin type, age, and lifestyle. Clients who have oily skin or excessively sweaty skin will typically fade faster. Each individual's color retention within the skin will vary. We suggest a touch-up every 8-18 months to keep the brows looking fresh. Clients can let the microblading fade over time, but note a slight shadow may remain.
How long is the recovery or healing time?
Immediately after your microblading procedure and in the initial ten days, your eyebrows will appear darker and more defined than your desired look. It may continue to get darker over the next few days as scabs begin to form. However, this does not accurately indicate the finished and healed result. 30-50% of your brow color will fade as the scabs fall off within 7-10 days. Sometimes, the scabs may take longer to heal and fall off. We all heal differently, and what works on one client may not be effective on another, so please do not compare your results.
