 Between 1-3 years, with most clients choosing to top up around the 18 month mark. Retention rates vary depending on skin type, sun exposure, medication, anti-ageing products, lifestyle and aftercare.

The treatment may not be suitable if you are taking certain medications including blood thinners, some acne medications and prescription Retinol. Skin conditions such as eczema, keloid scarring and psoriasis in the brow area may also be a contraindication. Other factors include skin type and lifestyle — oily skin generally needs more regular top-ups, and sun exposure can prematurely fade results, especially soon after the treatment. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion facials can also affect the longevity of your brows. 

Between 7-10 days depending on your rate of healing. Light exercise is fine during this time but avoid anything that causes heavy sweating. Keep your brows as dry as possible until the scabbing process has fully subsided.

e recommend coming for a brow tint and shape one week before your appointment. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil and vitamin E for 24 hours before and after. Any holidays should be completed a minimum of 30 days prior. Discontinue Retinol at least 2 weeks before and restart 2 weeks after. Botox and skin peels should be done at least 4 weeks beforehand.

Avoid all makeup on or near the brow area for the first 10-14

days until the scabbing process is complete. Wearing makeup during this time can affect pigment retention and increase the risk of infection.

I only offer top up appointments to clients who have had their initial Microblading appointment with me. If you have had a Microblading treatment done previously elsewhere I would need to assess your brows to see if we can move ahead with a full treatment with me. Occasionally clients may need a laser removal before I can rework the brows. This can all be assessed and discussed during the consultation stage.
