Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure that can last (on average) from six to 18 months. Microblading is achieved by pigment being implanting in the skin using hair-like strokes following an individual’s unique eyebrow hair-growth pattern. The tool used for this micropigmentation technique is a “blade”, or a series of small, fine needles in a single row. Microblading is increasingly popular because of the natural look that it achieves. 

Is It Safe? Allergy Concerns

There is less than a quarter of one percent chance that a person will experience an allergic reaction to the pigments used in permanent cosmetics. Despite that fact, an allergy test is always available to clients before receiving a permanent cosmetic service.

In New Jersey, only disposable tools are used, when possible, to decrease the likelihood of infection.

Before receiving a service, it is always important to have a clear understanding of what the service is.
