Brow Ambition

Pain during the treatment is relative. Some clients compare such pain with the one that they feel when plucking out their eyebrows.

​

Here at Brow Ambition, we do have 3 different types of anesthetics if the client requests.  We have a numbing patch, 10% Lidocaine, as well as a topical analgesic liquid that we may apply as needed during the treatment. 

How long does the treatment take?  Is there a follow-up appointment?

The first initial treatment takes approximately 3 hours.  Since microblading is a very precise, manual procedure, we at Brow Ambition prefer taking our time to customize and perfect each client's brows to their satisfaction.
Correction is done a month after as 10-15% of strokes are lost after the initial treatment.  A touch-up is necessary to fill in any strokes that have faded or disappeared during the healing process.  The 2nd touch-up appointment usually takes approximately 2 hours.

How long will my microbladed eyebrows last?

For how long the pigment will be retained mostly depends on the skin oiliness. The oilier the skin is, the shorter pigment retention is. Sweating and sun exposure also affect pigment retention.  On average, expected time until new refreshment of pigment is 10 to 12 months. If the skin is oily, it takes up to 6 months.

What should I expect immediately after the initial treatment?

Inserted pigment is very dark during the first 5 to 7 days. 7 days later, it loses up to 40% of its intensity. If you think that pigment is too dark, do not try to fade it by yourself. Be patient, first wait for 7 days until it fades away naturally. 

​

Post-treatment care makes 70% of total treatment success. Conscientiously stick and adhere to the given advice, because if you don’t do that, you can lose up to 80% of drawn strokes. Rinsing and applying the cream is of great significance.

​

How successful the treatment will be depends on:

• skin quality

• post-treatment care

• exposure to various external influences.

       None of these factors are under the Artist’s control, thus providing any guarantee for the treatment is not possible.
