The microblading procedure will NOT give you the required results if you have excessively oily skin. Because of the continual creation of oil, the hair strokes will mend with a diffused, softer appearance. The finished product will be more powdered than you expected. Other approaches might be considered in this instance. If you have very little hair or no hair at all, then your tattoo may like very two-dimensional in comparison to customers who have more hair naturally. If you smoke frequently, your color may disappear faster. If you are anemic or have an iron deficiency, then there’s a possibility that your pigment may fade at a fast rate. It can also arise the chances of you getting bruising or bleeding during the treatment or after it.

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic method that employs pigments that fade after 1 to 2 years, depending on the kind of skin and lifestyle. This fading occurs gradually, with microblading touch-ups required now and again, following your particular preferences. Another advantage of this process is that you can simply let them fade if you’re tired of the appearance. The pigments will progressively lighten and become less apparent till they fade and yet look good throughout the process. By this process, natural-looking brows are provided.

The classic brow tattoo, on the other hand, does not fade away naturally. Once the ink is injected, it is permanent. There is although a shift in the color of the ink after a while, which can occasionally go from black to greenish or bluish or brown to reddish. This is one of the probable adverse effects of eyebrow tattoo vs microblading. With time, the color gets duller and less vibrant. Because the ink may “migrate,” the ink may get thicker with time. It does not appear natural, but rather as a block of color.



Powder brows are a semi-permanent cosmetic method that gives the brows a misty, powdered appearance, which is similar to wearing makeup. It is accomplished by injecting pigments into the skin’s surface layers with a machine intended for cosmetic tattooing and the ‘dotting’ technique, also known as pixelization. Because powder brows work on all skin types, they stay a little longer than microblading.

Microblading brows is another semi-permanent cosmetic technique that improves brows in a subtle, natural-looking way. It also means that PMU pigments are injected into the skin’s surface layers, but this is done manually with an instrument that resembles a blade and is made up of numerous small needles. The blade is used to make hair-like strokes on the skin to resemble brow hairs. The end effect is bigger, fuller brows.

Combo brows are a hybrid of microblading and powder brows (shading). This combination produces powder microblading, also known as combo brows, which are very fine hair strokes filled in with a smooth shading for improved brows.

Microblading hair strokes are put around the brow’s border with a manual blade to give the brow a natural look. To provide brow fullness, the powder effect is applied to the body of the brow with hand-held equipment. This technique is applied for those who want to fill in overplucked brows, conceal gaps, define, rebuild, colorize, or create a little arch. The shading may give the brows more definition, while the hair strokes maintain it appearing natural.

Before and during the treatment, a very efficient topical anesthetic cream and gel are utilized to numb the area. The pain threshold is different for every person, that’s why we make every effort to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. If you get this treatment done during your menstrual cycle, then you may face some discomfort. If you smoke frequently, the topical anesthetics used during the therapy will wear off faster. If you have Fibromyalgia, you should be informed that it may have an impact on the sensitivity of your tolerance for the procedure. 

Absolutely! We take care in maintaining a clean and hygienic studio environment. We exclusively use one-time-use needles and materials. This implies that each new client’s setup is safely discarded later. Before opening and after each process throughout the day, each of our stations is properly cleaned.

Our hues fade to lighter shades of the same color and persist longer than most other brands. We take pleasure in utilizing the finest and highest quality products, are certified vegan and have over 40 years of expertise.

All of the colors are intensely saturated. For optimum color stability and performance, the pigment components are made out of the very best grade pigments with the greatest lightfastness rating. MSDS is available for all products that have been thoroughly evaluated.

Step 1: Cleaning

You will discuss your desired appearance with your artist first. It’s a good idea to arrive for your session wearing your regular brow makeup so they can get a better understanding of your preferences. You can bring images of microblading, powder brows, combination brows, or Guy Brows that you prefer. After that, the artist thoroughly cleans the region around the brows.

Step 2: Choosing pigment

You and your artist will decide on the color of your brows based on your hair and skin tone.

Step 3: Mapping

The area of the brows is measured while taking into account the form of the face, symmetry, facial characteristics, and so on. The contour of the arch form is drawn on, and after you’re satisfied with it, it’s approved. After that, the application begins.

Step 4: Numbing

The brows are coated with topical anesthetic, which is kept on for around 20 minutes until it takes effect.

Step 5: Beginning of procedure

The technique starts by using a specialized machine to create fine dots and then coating them with color.

Step 6: Adding pigment

After applying the last coat of color, the brow region is cleansed.

Step 7: Touch up

After the healing time has passed, the initial microblading touch-up is performed.

Certain pre-existing conditions prohibit you from getting powderbrows. If you fall into any of the categories below, it is not safe for you to get the treatment:

  • People with diabetes
  • People with serious diseases such as cancer, epilepsy, or autoimmune disorders
  • People with any bleeding disorders
  • People who take blood-thinning medications
  • People who’ve recently had Botox injections or fillers
  • Pregnant or nursing women
  • People with a history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring
  • People with viral infections or diseases
  • People who are going through chemotherapy
  • People with skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area
  • People whose skin was tanned recently
  • Under the age of 18
  • Pregnant or Nursing
  • Diabetics (Can get clearance from a physician)
  • Skin diseases in area of treatment (Shingles, Ezcema, psoriasis, roseacea)
  • History of Keloids
  • History of Skin Cancer
  • Accutane (Past Year)
  • Botox 2 weeks prior to appointment. (Best to get botox after microblading)
  • Autoimmune disorders (please contact us directly to clarify)
  •  
  • For any questions, please call us at (623) 698-3130

The healing process usually takes 7-14 days . The healing period after the microblading touch up is much shorter than the initial procedure since the treatment is less trauma to the skin. During the healing process, it’s extremely important to follow the Aftercare instructions and the success of the treatment relies on it to a great extent. Your brow artist will go over Aftercare with you in further detail.

Microblading takes about 3 Hours

Powder Brows takes about 4 hours 

Combo 3D Brows 4 Hours

Clients with NO hair (Alopecia) Need to contact our coordinator. We have a seperate appointment with more time aloted. This procedure cannot be rushed. Average 5 Hours.

The outcome depends on your skin type and lifestyle.

  • Normal to dry: up to 2 years (touch-ups recommended every 18 months on average). 
  • Oily T-zone: requires more regular touch-ups. Touch-ups should be done once a year. 
  • Very oily skin: might cause fading and need more frequent touch-ups. 

Medications: (Anti-Anxiety, thyroid, heart medication, etc.) they might have an impact on your retention and lead you to fade much faster

Most customers require at least two treatments, which are at least eight weeks apart. After the first week, the colors of most treatments seem much lighter. Some customers appreciate this, while others prefer a more daring appearance. For your second procedure, we will check the color retention of the precious procedure then make any changes, if required. Each client recovers in their unique way and at their own pace. Do not worry if your cosmetic tattoo seems like that it is not healing properly right after your first session. At your next session, we can add more density and color to it so it appears better.

Good results cannot be guaranteed for instances like these if you have already had your brows tattooed. In rare cases, if the work you have gotten done before is excessively black, discolored, thick, or big, then the removal of a tattoo can be strongly advised before we consider offering our services. Previously inked regions almost usually need extra sessions, which are charged for accordingly. Some exceptional circumstances may be considered. Photos are necessary for clearance before your visit. If you arrive at your appointment without prior authorization, you will lose your money. If you have any additional queries, please contact us.

Bring a few reference photographs before your visit if you have a certain form and color in mind. You can fill in your brows like your usual style with makeup. It may help us in getting an idea about the shape that you like. Before the treatment, if you have gotten your brows waxed, colored, shaped, or threaded, then please wait for three days before the consultation. During the treatment, we can remove any stray hair that may fall outside of the final design. If you intend to take a holiday, at least wait for 14 days to schedule your trip after the procedure is done.

We ask that our patients refrain for at least 72 from using any type of medication that thins the blood before their visit. Such medications may include aspirin, fish oil supplements, vitamin E, and ibuprofen. Avoid the drinking of alcoholic beverages a night before and on the day of your visit, and also limit the amount of your caffeine intake as well. If you have previously used prescription Accutane, then you have to wait for at least 9 months, then you can contemplate this procedure. Another recommendation is that you should avoid SUN exposure or a TANNING BED for a minimum of 30 days BEFORE and AFTER you have gotten the procedure done. If you arrive for a procedure with a sunburn, you will be required to reschedule and your money will be forfeited. When your skin exfoliates as a result of a sunburn, it takes off the color of your treated eyebrows with it.

All services should be maintained annually.

Make sure to use a decent sunscreen every day AFTER the recovery to help in keeping the color accurate. Sun exposure, just like for any other type of tattoo, can make the color fade at a fast rate. The pace of fading is determined by your lifestyle, pigment color used, skin type, broken capillaries, sun exposure, along with the case that whether or not you had gotten treatment from any kind of chemical peels after your procedure. If you have gotten other types of medical procedures, then they will also be taken into account too. Let your technician know if you’ve gotten any type of cosmetic tattoo before. To avoid harming the tattooed region, application with caution is necessary.

How do I book an appointment?

SMP (scalp micro pigmentation) is a type of cosmetic tattooing. The ultra-realistic scalp micro-pigmentation ink mimics hair follicles that are ready to sprout, giving the appearance of a newly shaven head. It is a safe, effective, and non-surgical alternative to hair loss.

This technique may be used on the entire scalp, hair loss regions, balding areas (male pattern baldness), bald patches, scars, and even hairlines. SMP is also an excellent method for making thin sections of hair appear thicker. SMP may be used for both short and long hair.

Scalp Micropigmentation is the most effective hair loss treatment for both men and women. This non-surgical precision method, which has been proved to be safe and effective, duplicates the look of natural hair follicles and gives customers the impression of a neatly shaved scalp. Scalp Micropigmentation, often known as a hair tattoo, provides the illusion of a full head of hair eternally.

SMP has several advantages. It’s an excellent method for creating the impression of hair in a very subtle, natural way. Our team consists of highly experienced technicians who utilize specialized tools, inks, and methods to achieve an invisible finish. There’s no need to be concerned about existing hair being damaged because our needles only penetrate the top dermis of the skin.

It is also a low-maintenance therapy with long-term effects. Your technician will give you some aftercare instructions, which you should follow for a few days before returning to your usual routine. Your effects will then persist for years, making it a low-cost, no-hassle therapy.

SMP may help with alopecia, thinning hair, pattern baldness, hairline repair, and other hair loss issues. It gives the illusion of hair follicles or a slight stubble, making it ideal for recreating the image of a newly shaven head.

In contrast to hair transplant procedures, the outcomes of scalp micropigmentation are immediate. Following the treatment, you may have some pain and redness, however, this should subside within 1 to 2 days depending on your skin type. The treated area must dry heal for four days following treatment, so avoid getting it wet with water, lotions, perspiration, or other liquids. You will be given complete aftercare to ensure that you obtain the greatest possible result from your procedure, with benefits that will last for years.

When having SMP with short hair, it is assumed that there is already existing hair (not long hair) on the scalp, therefore the color will be built up to match up your hair color so it appears entirely natural throughout the procedure. There is no need to be concerned about the color fading or changing since we utilize carbon-based pigment that is diluted to match your skin tone.

One of the most significant advantages of SMP is its low cost. Scalp Micropigmentation is considerably less intrusive, faster, and less expensive than hair transplant treatments. If you’re wondering how much SMP costs, the fastest response is that it depends on each patient since we must consider the particular region to be treated as well as the number of treatments necessary.

SMP treatments range in price from $400 to $4000. Please contact us to set up a consultation so that we can discuss your needs and give you the best solution and package available.

If you have concerns regarding the SMP therapy and would want to conduct some research before contacting us, please read our FAQs for additional information

The price of scalp micropigmentation is determined by four major criteria.

Treatment area: The majority of those who choose this treatment to have male pattern baldness (MPB). The Norwood Scale is used to assess the degree of baldness. According to this scale, there are seven phases of baldness, the first of which is the baseline (no hair loss is recorded).

Skin type: Artists use various techniques for different types of skin. Excessively dry, flaky, or aged skin, for example, needs a greater level of dedication, as well as additional care and effort. The same is true for extremely sensitive skin, damaged skin, or skin covered with acne or moles. Aside from that, excessively thick skin may necessitate particular care. Because of this, you should talk with your artist ahead of time to determine whether your skin is sensitive and whether it will impact the pricing.

Scarring: The existence of scarring might significantly raise the cost of your surgery. Hair does not grow over scar tissue, making scalp micropigmentation a difficult process. Even though it is not a tough task, it has a significant impact on the procedure’s cost. Lighter scars, on the other hand, are easier to remove.

Hairstyle and density: Finally, the cost of scalp micropigmentation is determined by your hair density and desired style. If you want to imitate more hair follicles, the price will be greater than for those who merely want to maintain their density.

SMP Repair price varies and are not available for booking online. Please contact us for SMP repair appointment. If you have had your scalp micropigmentation previously tattooed by a different artist, we cannot guarantee results for cases such as these. In some instances where the previous work is too dark, dense, discolored, or large, tattoo removal will be highly recommended before our services will be considered. Previously tattooed areas will almost always require additional sessions and will be charged accordingly. Some special cases may be considered. Photos are required prior to your appointment for approval. If you show to your appointment without prior approval for the appointment, you will forfeit your deposit. Please call us if you have questions.  

Our skilled practitioners know that you may have worries both before and after the operation. Your practitioner will review your skin type as well as any problems, such as psoriasis, that may need to be resolved before treatment can begin. You will be given an estimate of how long each treatment will take, how to care for the region, and whether or not repeat operations will be required to obtain the best potential result.Please book a complimentary consultation so we can help you reach your scalp goals.

This is determined by the amount of hair loss. As a general guideline, you should plan on 3 or 4 sessions spread out over a 6-to-8-week period. Each session might run between 2 to 6 hours.

This is done based on skin color and/or residual hair color. We have extensive experience with a wide spectrum of clientele from various cultures. First sessions often begin with a lighter shade, and we progressively increase density and darkness as we proceed to complete your treatment.

We can go over some hairline photos and draw some hairlines on you. When it comes to hairlines, it is usually better to be safe and avoid going too low on the first visit. Then, on the second time, you’d know how low you want to go. We may also create several hairline styles based on your preferences (for example, jagged, soft, slightly receding, edged up, lines and patterns). We have developed techniques and processes to guarantee your hairline is in the proper location and suits you and your style. We come from a barbering background and have years of top-tier experience to ensure that this is done properly.

No, it is not. We employ various colors, inks, equipment, needles, and methods. Scalp Micro Pigmentation is a specialized field that requires a highly skilled expert to produce excellent outcomes.

After the initial pass, a numbing chemical will be given to the region that will be treated to relieve any discomfort. Depending on the region to be treated, 3 or 4 treatments may be necessary on average. This is to allow for enough dot stacking to produce a realistic appearance.

Depending on your lifestyle and immune system, the effects of finished treatments might linger for years. Many clients like to have a touch-up session every 2 or 3 years to maintain their new look appearing fresh.

The cost of touch-ups varies depending on what is required. The pricing for an existing client is usually $300, while SMP repair rates begin at $600.

For the greatest results, the treatment should be allowed to dry heal for 4 days after each treatment. This would imply avoiding perspiration, water, and creams, and lotions of any kind, for example. Following this period, you can gradually raise your exercise level.

Everyone is unique based on their skin type. Our technician will immediately clean after your treatment and apply an anti-redness topical anesthetic so you leave the clinic looking and feeling fantastic. In most cases, the redness will last for a day or two.

No, because we only use a black pigment based on carbon that is diluted to match your skin tone.

Yes, for the most realistic results, the direction of hair development is always taken into account.

The honest answer is that you will experience discomfort, like with any tattoo treatment. We recommend that customers eat well and be in excellent health on the day of treatment. In the days/weeks preceding up to your operation, we also recommend hydrating the scalp twice daily. This will assist in softening the skin. The joy you will have after resolving your hair loss concerns will far surpass any discomfort you may experience throughout therapy.

The entire therapy and process are quite detailed. As previously said, scalp micropigmentation is the procedure of injecting pigment into the client’s scalp skin, and it is generally finished after two or three sessions.

Step 1: The initial meeting with the artist is the first stage. These can always be done in person, which is always preferable, but you may also consult with your artist over the phone or even over video chat. It is usually far more recommended for the artist to inspect the status of the client’s scalp to know what outcomes they should be anticipating.

Step 2: Following that, the customer and the artist collaborate to choose the ideal style for the client, the pigment color, and all of the other elements that are critical to the final result. This is a critical stage since the customer will know exactly what to expect.

Step 3: The therapy will commence after this is decided. The first session is used to establish the groundwork for the new look. The scalp may be a bit red following this, but it usually recovers to normal after a day or two.

Step 4: The second treatment is used to fill in additional detail and to utilize colors that differ in shade from the first. This is done to provide depth to the final appearance since it is always vital for the result to seem as natural as possible.

Step 5: A third treatment may be required at some point. These are usually done at the client’s request if they realize they want to go darker or add something else.

Certainly, for sure. Scalp micropigmentation is an excellent treatment for male and female hair loss. Even though it is less frequent in women, some suffer from hair loss and baldness, just like males. This might occur as a result of events such as childbirth, surgery, or stress.

There is, however, a difference in scalp pigmentation between males and women. A guy, for example, undergoes treatments to duplicate shave hair follicles, but the main objective of a woman’s scalp micropigmentation is to reduce the difference between the scalp and the hair. Furthermore, because women lose hair uniformly throughout the entire scalp, the odds of going entirely bald are quite low. Furthermore, the woman’s frontal hairline is unaffected.

It is also worth noting that women are not required to shave their hair before undergoing SMP. Instead, the artist will apply the color to the hair by separating it section by section, resulting in a “shaded” scalp. As a result, it will be more difficult to distinguish between the hair and the scalp, giving the appearance of thicker hair.

SMP, on the other hand, works well for those with dark or brown hair. SMP may not be a good choice for blonde ladies.

The length of time required for a successful scalp microblading treatment varies, as it does for any other permanent cosmetics process. The average session lasts three to four hours, but additional sessions typically take much longer. This occurs because achieving the proper combination of density and blackness is significantly more difficult. This is why it’s always a good idea to know who will do the SMP since you want the best and most efficient one.

The duration between the first and second treatments, on the other hand, varies between one and four weeks. This is done so that the pigment will organically settle into the client’s skin. The artist will be able to examine how the skin received the real pigment and make new plans, if necessary, as a result of this.

Once you’ve decided to undergo SMP treatment, there are certain things you can do to optimize your experience and assist your technician get the best possible outcome. What you should do is as follows:

  • For men, shave your hair as short as possible before your visit.
  • The day before the appointment, exfoliate with a sugar scrub (1 tbsp of sugar in shampoo)
  • In the days preceding up to the visit, moisturize the scalp as much as possible.
  • You should use no blood thinners. Before therapy, you must check with your doctor for approval 24 hours in advance.
  • No drinking of alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.

Yes, owing to a specific method of pigment insertion and the natural pigments utilized in the procedure, scalp micropigmentation is safe. It is suitable for both younger and elderly persons suffering from hair loss.: As with any operation that involves even the slightest danger of infection, it is critical to select a certified SMP artist who has demonstrated the ability to work with sterile equipment and high-quality pigments. There is nothing to worry about if you follow their directions.

The main difficulty here is that the customer must wait a few weeks for the second treatment to be completed. This is when they will receive the final results, therefore it is reasonable to assume that most patients wait between 2 and 4 weeks to receive the outcome.

However, in terms of the actual scalp micropigmentation therapy, patients will feel mild redness on the skin following each tattoo hair session for 24 to 48 hours. Still, this isn’t a big deal because most patients can return to work the next day.

Because most SMP artists and clinics provide two sessions for each treatment, the first touch-up is essentially included in the price of an SMP treatment. It is done in 10 to 14 days after the first session to fill in the gaps using pigments that differ in shade from the first treatment. This is done to provide depth to the final appearance since it is always vital for the result to seem as natural as possible.

The third session is planned three to four weeks following the second. The third session is not included in the price because it is optional and is rarely used. However, if the customer decides that he or she wants to go darker or add something different, he or she may request a further touch-up session. Extra sessions typically cost $700.

Even while it is usually a fully risk-free operation, obtaining SMP hair may pose certain risks. The most essential thing is that the patient selects a qualified technician who is familiar with various skin types and who will ask all pertinent questions during the initial consultation.

However, there are a few factors that patients should keep in mind:

  • Some people are sensitive to ink that is put on their skin; therefore, the patient may be allergic to the scalp micropigmentation pigment as well. If you are a patient, ensure that the technician is aware of all of your allergies. However, more technicians are using hypoallergenic pigments that are highly safe.
  • Heavy metals may be present if the institution where you receive your SMP treatment utilizes low-quality ink and pigment. However, this is largely a quality issue rather than a side consequence of SMP.
  • Finally, a new, sterile needle must be used during the process.

As previously stated, the majority of SMP adverse effects are related to the location in which individuals opt to have their scalp micropigmentation done.

During the first several days following the therapy, all patients must avoid activities that induce scalp perspiration. They should also refrain from shampooing and cleaning their hair for 48 hours.

After the first four days, most men can shave with a foil electric shaver, but they must be careful not to run it over any scabs that have not yet gone off. Use a dry razor instead. Never use a wet razor. Regular electric shaving and moisturizing are only advised after ten days following the treatment.

Day 1-4: 

AVOID the following:

  • No Exercising and sweating on days 1-4 following the SMP treatment.
  • No Showering, shampooing, and washing the hair
  • No rubbing the back of the neck
  • No Shaving
  • No using a moisturizer
  • No putting on a cap
  • No direct sunlight
  • No swimming, sauna, and steam room 

Day 5-10: 

  • Wash head gently with cold water and mild soap on days 5-10 
  • Apply non-scented body moisturizer 3 times a day to prevent dryness and flaky skin
  • Avoid having your hair grow out too long. Only use an electric shaver. Never use wet shaver/ razor blade.

 

3 to 4 weeks after treatment:

Avoid the following for three to four weeks after the treatment to prolong the your treatment

  • No exposing the scalp to direct sunshine or severe heat (Apply sunscreen to the scalp if outside for more than 15 minutes and reapply as needed). Unprotected sun exposure will cause fading.
  • No taking a dip in a chlorinated pool
  • No using of saunas or steam rooms

Signs and Symptoms of infection:

A slight amount of swelling is typical for a fresh cosmetic tattoo. If swelling becomes excessive, uncomfortable and you feel the pain radiating beyond the site of the tattoo, then this is a sign of infection. If you have a fever, then it’s also a sign of infection. Please call your physician immediately if you think you have an infection.
