Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique used to enhance the appearance of eyebrows. This procedure involves the use of a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles that deposit pigment into the skin, creating precise, hair-like strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs. The goal is to improve the shape, fullness, and overall appearance of the eyebrows, providing a natural and polished look.
Duration: The results of microblading typically last between one to three years, depending on various factors such as skin type, aftercare, and individual lifestyle. As the pigment fades over time, touch-up sessions may be required to maintain the desired appearance.
Sessions Needed: Generally, two sessions are recommended for optimal results. The first session establishes the initial shape and color, while a second touch-up session, usually scheduled six to eight weeks later, refines the design and ensures the pigment has settled properly.
Skin Types: Microblading is generally suitable for various skin types, but it may work best for those with normal to dry skin. Individuals with oily skin might experience faster fading of the pigment due to increased oil production, which can affect the longevity of the results. Additionally, those with sensitive or problematic skin may need to consult with a professional to determine if microblading is the right choice for them, as certain skin conditions can impact the healing process and overall outcome.

Combo Brows
Combo Brows is a semi-permanent makeup technique that combines the methods of microblading and powder brows to create a multi-dimensional eyebrow look. This technique involves using microblading to create fine, hair-like strokes at the front of the brow for a natural appearance, while the powder brow technique is applied to the tails of the brows for added depth and definition. The result is a beautifully blended eyebrow that offers the best of both worlds—natural-looking hairs with a soft, shaded effect.
Duration: Combo brows typically last between one to three years, depending on factors such as skin type, aftercare, and individual lifestyle. As the pigment fades over time, touch-up sessions may be necessary to maintain the desired look.
Sessions Needed: Generally, two sessions are recommended for optimal results. The first session establishes the initial shape and color, while a follow-up touch-up session, usually scheduled six to eight weeks later, refines the design and ensures the pigment has settled correctly.
Skin Types: Combo brows are suitable for a variety of skin types, including oily, combination, and dry skin. This technique is particularly advantageous for those with oily skin, as it combines the natural look of microblading with the longevity of the powder brow technique. Additionally, combo brows can effectively cover imperfections and create a more balanced appearance, making them an excellent option for individuals seeking a versatile eyebrow enhancement.

Powder Brows
Powder Brows is a semi-permanent makeup technique designed to enhance the appearance of eyebrows by creating a soft, filled-in look that resembles the effect of makeup. This method involves using a machine to deposit fine layers of pigment into the skin, resulting in a diffused, powdery finish. The technique is particularly popular for those who prefer a more defined and polished eyebrow look without the daily hassle of applying makeup.
Duration: The results of powder brows typically last between one to three years, depending on factors such as skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle. As with any semi-permanent procedure, touch-up sessions may be necessary to maintain the desired appearance as the pigment fades over time.
Sessions Needed: Generally, two sessions are recommended for optimal results. The first session establishes the initial shape and color, while a follow-up touch-up session, usually scheduled six to eight weeks later, refines the design and ensures the pigment has settled correctly.
Skin Types: Powder brows are suitable for a variety of skin types, including oily, combination, and dry skin. This technique is especially beneficial for those with oily skin, as it tends to retain pigment better than microblading. Additionally, powder brows can effectively cover imperfections and create a more uniform appearance, making them a versatile option for individuals with different skin concerns.
