Microblading
Microblading, the artistic form of eyebrow shaping, has established itself as a popular method for creating natural and defined eyebrows. Microblading creates realistic-looking hairs that fill the eyebrows and give them a perfect shape.
What is Microblading?
In this procedure, fine, wafer-thin cuts are made in the skin and filled with special pigments to imitate deceptively real hairs.
The result is a natural and perfectly shaped eyebrow that blends seamlessly into the facial features. This method allows precise adaptation to the individual facial structure and gives the eyebrows an expressive character.
What is the difference between microblading and permanent make-up?
The crucial difference between microblading and permanent make-up lies in the technique and durability of the results.
Microblading relies on fine cuts for natural hair imitation, while permanent make-up uses pigments for permanent contours.
Microblading is semi-permanent and can fade over time, while permanent makeup lasts longer and requires touch-up
Who is Microblading suitable for?
Microblading is ideal for people with thin, sparse or irregular eyebrows who are looking for a natural and long-lasting solution. This technique also offers an effective solution for those who have lost their natural eyebrows due to illness or external influences.
Microblading is also suitable for busy people who want to reduce the daily effort of applying eyebrow makeup. Advice from experienced professionals is preferred in order to achieve optimal results.

Questions & Answers
How long does permanent make-up or microblading usually last?
The condition of the top layer of skin determines how long the color pigments remain in the skin. With very dry skin or very large pores, the color intensity decreases more quickly than with normal skin. In addition, the durability of permanent make-up or microblading increases as the skin becomes darker. Since the durability of permanent make-up can vary individually between 1-3 years, we recommend a touch-up after about 1 year. With microblading, a touch-up may be necessary sooner than 1 year.
Are there things to consider during treatment?
What things do I need to consider before starting treatment?
Prepare the skin for treatment. What does that mean? If the skin is dry, it is better to wait one to two weeks and prepare the skin with a healing cream.
In addition, the following should be avoided:
- coffee before treatment
- Taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin
- Heavy alcohol consumption 24 hours before treatment
What can you do to extend the durability of microblading?
For 14 days after the treatment, you should avoid sun, solariums and saunas and protect the treated area from too much water, wind and cold. Even after healing, it is advisable to apply a sun protection factor that also covers the pigmented area before each sunbath.
Why do eyebrows fade faster than eyelids and lips?
The eyebrows are in the T-zone, which produces more sebum than the rest of the face. This means that the skin renews itself more quickly and the color pigments are broken down sooner, so permanent make-up lasts around 1-2 years here. Since the lips do not produce sebum, a longer durability can be expected here. The eyeliner is protected from UV radiation by the eyelashes, which is why the color can also be expected to last longer here. The color generally fades more quickly on light skin than on dark skin.
Is it possible that I have an allergic reaction to the colors?
Since 1998, we have been treating around 10 patients a day with the color pigments. Since then, no allergic reactions have occurred. The colors are certified, tested and medically approved. If desired, an allergy test can of course be carried out in the crook of the arm. If no reaction occurs after 12 hours, nothing stands in the way of treatment.
What should you do if you have microblading on your eyebrows and want to change your hair color?
For a harmonious aesthetic, it is very important that your hair color and eyebrow color look roughly the same. If you are planning a drastic change in your style that includes a change in your hair color, we recommend that you discuss the planned steps with us in a consultation.
Can the color pigments or old microblading be removed or changed?
Yes, there are various options and methods for removing the color pigments or retouching them afterwards. Which method is suitable for you will be clarified during a consultation.
How many treatments are needed to remove the color pigments?
To answer this question, the following must be clarified: How old is the pigmentation? What color was used? Is the color dark or light? Was it pigmented or tattooed?
What should you do first: surgery or microblading?
We are often asked this question. In general, what lasts longer should be done first. Eyelid surgery should be done before eyebrow microblading, as the eyebrows are adjusted to the shape of the eyes. If you have already had microblading, the eyeliner or eyebrows may need to be adjusted after the treatment. It is also possible to correct scars caused by burns, accidents or cosmetic surgery.
