For eyebrows, the common methods are microblading, powder brows, and combo brows. Microblading uses hair-like cuts; powder brows use small dots of pigment. Eyeliner can be a thin lash line or a wider shaded band. Lips can be tinted only or outlined and filled. Each technique uses different needle shapes and pressure.
Plan for 2 to 3 hours for the first visit. About 20 to 30 minutes is spent on shape mapping and pigment choice. The actual needling lasts 45 to 90 minutes depending on the area. Brows usually take less time than full lip shading. Rushing the mapping step is a common cause of regret.
Most clients describe the feeling as a scratchy vibration rather than sharp pain. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied 15 to 30 minutes before needling. Some areas, like the lips, are more sensitive and may need a second application. Numbing does not remove all feeling. Pain tolerance varies widely between people.
Colour looks about 30 to 50 percent darker right after the session. Days 2 to 4 may show mild swelling and tightness. Days 5 to 10 light scabs form and flake off. The colour appears too light for about 2 weeks, then settles to the true tone by week 6. Avoid picking the flakes.
Skin does not hold pigment evenly on the first pass. A touch up at 6 to 8 weeks fills any pale spots and adjusts the shape. Most technicians include one touch up in the price. Skipping it leads to patchy or faded results within 6 to 12 months. Treat the touch up as part of the procedure.
Eyebrows last 12 to 24 months on average before needing a refresh. Eyeliner can last 2 to 5 years. Lips fade faster, usually within 1 to 3 years. Sun exposure, skin type, and pigment colour all change the timeline. Oily skin breaks down pigment faster than dry skin. Plan repeat sessions as maintenance.
Price varies by area, technique, and technician experience. Microblading for brows often sits in a mid range, while full lip shading with contour costs more. A second session for colour boost is cheaper than the first. Mobile or home studio work may add a travel fee. Cheap prices usually mean less training.
Ask for a portfolio of healed results, not just fresh photos. Healed photos should be taken 6 to 8 weeks after the session. Check that the studio uses single use needles opened in front of you. Pigment bottles should have a batch number and expiry date. Training certificates should name the specific technique.
Ask if pigments are EU or FDA approved for cosmetic use. Confirm autoclave sterilisation for reusable tools and disposable covers for machine parts. A patch test 24 to 48 hours before the appointment checks for allergic reactions. People on blood thinners, pregnant, or with active skin conditions should wait.
Asymmetry, wrong colour, and scarring are the top complaints. Asymmetry comes from poor measuring during the mapping stage. Grey or orange brows come from using the wrong pigment depth for the skin tone. Scarring happens when pressure is too heavy or skin is needled over broken skin. Always review the drawn shape before starting.
