Microblading is perfect for those who want to reconstruct, define, fill-in gaps and cover scars, or complete thin or over-plucked eyebrows. Unlike eyebrow extensions, microblading is low maintenance. No special care is required, except for a brief touch-up (typically a year or more after initial application). Unlike eyebrow extensions, you can shower and swim briefly after application. And, the process is relatively painless. Before the microblading begins, a topical numbing cream is applied to the area to minimize discomfort, followed by a liquid anesthetic.
