Get answers to common questions about Microblading (12-18 months).

A typical touch-up lasts 60–90 minutes, including consultation, brow mapping, numbing, and precise pigment application. Timing varies by skin type and pigment retention. We recommend planning the full hour and allowing extra time for aftercare instructions and photos.

Not unless you request it. Touch-ups focus on restoring pigment and refining minor asymmetry. If you want a reshaped arch or thicker tail, we'll discuss options during consultation and adjust the design conservatively to maintain natural, balanced results.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. We apply topical anesthetic before and during the procedure to reduce sensitivity. You may feel pressure or light scratching, but the numbing keeps pain low. Aftercare manages tenderness and promotes comfortable healing.

Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, retinol, and caffeine 48 hours before appointment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows. Bring photos of any desired changes. We'll review medical history and perform a brief consultation before beginning the touch-up.

Touch-up results generally last 12–24 months depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Oily skin and heavy exfoliation fade faster. Regular maintenance and annual to biennial touch-ups preserve color, density, and crisp hair strokes for long-term definition.

Yes, often. We assess pigment tone, scarring, and pigment migration during consultation. Some corrective care or color correction may be required before a touch-up. In complex cases, we'll recommend a staged approach or refer for laser removal prior to re-pigmentation.
