A first eyebrow session usually lasts 2 hours to 3 hours. The technician measures your face with a mapping tool, draws a shape with a pencil, and checks it with you. The pigmenting step itself is shorter. Lips and eyeliner often take 1 hour to 2 hours.
Most people describe the feeling as a light scratch rather than real pain. Numbing cream with lidocaine is applied 20 minutes before the work starts and is reapplied during the session. Some zones, like the lips, feel sharper, but a second layer of numbing cream usually helps.
Skin closes in about 7 days, but full healing takes 4 weeks to 6 weeks. During week 1 the colour looks 30 to 50 percent darker than expected. Mild flaking and itching are normal. If you see heavy swelling, hot redness, or pus, contact a doctor quickly.
Skin never holds pigment evenly on the first pass, so almost every artist schedules a touch up at 6 weeks to 8 weeks. At this visit, gaps are filled, shape is refined, and the tone is corrected. Skipping this step often leads to patchy or uneven final results.
Eyebrows usually look good for 12 months to 24 months before needing a colour refresh. Lips tend to fade faster, often within 12 months, because of cell turnover in that area. Lifestyle, sun exposure, and skin type change the timeline for each person.
Price depends on the artist training, the technique used, and the city area. Microblading often costs more than machine shading because it is slower. Adding a numbing upgrade, removing old pigment with saline, or choosing a senior artist can raise the quote by 20 to 40 percent.
Ask to see healed photos taken 6 weeks after the session, not just day 1 results. Check that the studio follows local health rules and that the artist has a bloodborne pathogen certificate. A good technician will also refuse to work on active skin issues near the area.
Bad colour, such as grey or orange tones, comes from using the wrong pigment for your skin tone. Uneven shape happens when mapping is rushed. Migration, where pigment spreads under the skin, follows too-deep needle work. Choose slow, measured artists who show healed results.
Keep the area dry for 24 hours, then wash gently with mild soap for 7 days. Apply the healing balm your technician gave you. Avoid sun, gyms, saunas, and swimming for 10 days. Do not pick at any flaking skin, since this can pull pigment out early.
Permanent makeup places coloured pigments into the upper layers of the skin using a fine needle. It is used for eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip colour. The pigment sits about 1 to 2 mm below the surface. Results look like makeup but stay on through showering and sleep. It fades gradually rather than washing off.
