Microblading helps create harmonious and natural-looking eyebrows using a very fine semi-permanent tattoo technique.
Before booking your appointment, it is important to understand how the session works, what the healing stages are, and in which situations the treatment may not be recommended.
At Tina Beauté, every session is fully personalized and carried out with the utmost respect for your skin and facial features.
1. How Does a Microblading Session Work?
🔹 Step 1: Consultation
Everything begins with a discussion to understand your facial structure, personal style and desired result.
We analyze:
your face shape,
eyebrow symmetry,
and choose together the shade best suited to your skin tone and hair color.
🔹 Step 2: Brow Mapping & Validation
Before any pigmentation, a pencil outline is drawn.
You can visualize the final result and make adjustments with my guidance.
Nothing is left to chance: every stroke is carefully designed to balance and enhance your eyes.
🔹 Step 3: The Microblading Procedure
Using a manual pen equipped with micro-needles, pigments are deposited into the superficial layer of the skin to imitate the natural appearance of eyebrow hairs.
The session lasts approximately 1h30 to 2 hours, and the sensation is generally described as light scratching or tiny pinching sensations.
🔹 Step 4: The Touch-Up Appointment (4 Weeks Later)
This step is essential to ensure long-lasting results.
It allows certain areas to be intensified and helps achieve perfectly even color retention.
2. The Healing Stages After Microblading
Microblading is not finished once you leave the studio.
The healing process lasts approximately 4 weeks and follows a precise cycle.
📅 Days 1 to 3: Dark Brows & Slight Redness
The result appears darker than expected — this is completely normal.
The skin may also feel slightly sensitive.
👉 Avoid water, makeup and direct contact with the eyebrows.
📅 Days 4 to 7: Small Scabs Appear
The skin regenerates and releases excess pigment.
⚠️ Do not scratch or rub the area, as this may remove pigment and affect the final result.
📅 Days 8 to 14: The Fading Phase
The eyebrows may suddenly appear much lighter or seem to “disappear.”
This stage can feel frustrating, but it is completely normal. The skin is closing and the pigment gradually resurfaces afterward.
📅 Weeks 3 to 4: Pigment Stabilization
The color settles into a softer, more natural and even result.
At this stage, the touch-up appointment (included in the treatment) can be scheduled to perfect the final outcome.
3. Recommended Aftercare at Home
For optimal healing:
Avoid heat sources (sauna, steam room, sun exposure) for 10 days.
Do not apply makeup on the eyebrows until fully healed.
Apply a healing cream in a thin layer if needed.
Sleep on your back during the first few days to avoid friction.
4. When Is Microblading Not Recommended?
Microblading is a gentle technique but it is not suitable for every skin type or situation.
It is generally not recommended for:
very oily skin (poor pigment retention),
very thin skin or skin prone to keloid scarring,
pregnancy or breastfeeding,
heavy medical treatments (blood thinners, cortisone, etc.),
active skin conditions in the area (eczema, psoriasis, wounds).
💡 If you are unsure, a simple consultation or a photo before the appointment can help determine whether the treatment is suitable for you.
Conclusion
Microblading is a combination of precision, hygiene and artistry.
When properly prepared and correctly maintained, it creates natural and expressive brows for many months.
At Tina Beauté, every stroke is performed with care to respect both your skin and your identity.
