We’re frequently asked what the difference is between microblading and micropigmention.  Here are some general points:

Microblading:

• Semi permanent procedure lasting between 6 months – 1 year.
• Hair-like strokes are drawn on then traced over, inserting pigment with a handheld tool that looks like a X-Acto knife.
• Can be painful.
• Procedure takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
• Downtime – minimal
• Healing process takes between 25-30 days.
• Touch-up appointments are recommended after 45 days and can take approximately 45 minutes.
• Relatively new technology in the US.
• Cost: between $700-$800

 

Micropigmention at Permanent-Line:

• Permanent procedure lasting between three and seven years.
• Hair-like strokes are drawn on using a fine artist paint brush and traced over with a digital hand-held electric device which inserts pigment 1-2 mm under the skins surface.
• Minimal discomfort with topical numbing cream.
• Procedure takes approximately ½ hour to complete with a ½ hour consultation.
• Downtime – none
• Healing process take between 3-5 days.
• Touch-up appointments are recommended 6 weeks after procedure and takes ½ hour.
• Technique perfected in Germany, available in the US since 1986.
• Cost: between $550 – $650
• Pigments are sterile, organic substance, made in Germany in pharmaceutical grade labs.

Follow-up appointments are typically done within 6-8 weeks of of the original procedure.  However, you have a year to have follow up appointments.  Follow up appointments depending on the office location are subject to an office fee.

Touch-up appointments are appointments completed within 12-24 month of the original procedure and are 1/2 price of the original procedure and include another year of follow up appointments, subject to office fees.

If it’s been over 24 months since the original appointment and you have not had a touch-up appointment, additional treatment would be considered a re-do and subject to the current procedure price.

The Power of the Brow – Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser

Eyes are the windows to the soul and eyebrows are the window dressing.

The power of the brow can make you look 10 years younger, boost your self-confidence and soften one’s facial features and expression. During the month of October, we’d like brows to make a powerful impact on breast cancer prevention and awareness.

In honor of those with breast cancer and breast cancer survivors around the world, we are offering a  20% Discount  on eyebrow procedures in the Middleburg office to those who support our National Breast Cancer Foundation fundraiser (NBCF) and a 25% Discount to cancer survivors.

No contribution is too big or too small, the power is in the numbers and early detection.  NBCF provides help and inspires hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.
