Microblading in San Antonio
What is Microblading?
Unlike traditional tattooing, microblading consists of machine-less manual technique where we artfully and strategically deposit pigment along the eyebrows to mimic real hair. Hair-like stokes are strokes are meticulously placed to create a more natural look, than traditional cosmetic tattooing.
Microblading consists of two-step process. Your initial appointment creates the shape and allows us to see how the pigment heals and how much pigment you retain. A second perfecting session, booked 4-6 weeks later. The perfecting session completes your look by filling in any areas that healed lighter or to create a fuller brow if desired.
One common question we are asked is how long microblading lasts. Depending on your skin type, level of sun exposure, and your lifestyle, your can expect lasting results anywhere from 6 months all the way to 2 years. Most our our clients schedule their microblading touch-up appointments anywhere between 6 months to 12 months.
