How Does Microblading Work?
Before starting your microblading procedure, we'll have a consultation to discuss the look you want to achieve. The procedure will be completed in our office with local anesthesia or numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. Based on your treatment plan, the microblading process can last from around 1 – 3 hours. To start the process, your brows will be combed and trimmed as needed. Your provider will mark them up with a makeup pen, which acts as a marker for where the microblading will be performed. Aesthetic Med Studio chooses the highest quality ink products administered with an artistic eye to give you natural-looking strokes that match individual hairs for great results.

Had my first visit at Aesthetic and had the BEST experience. Raegan was SO sweet, knowledgeable and sent me home with some samples and lots of tips for my skin concerns. She tailored everything to my skin and no lie I got a compliment the first stop I made after the appointment! The barista asked where I got my facial and of course I plugged this med studio.

Microblading FAQ
How can I prepare for my microblading treatment?
Please avoid getting your brows waxed, threaded, shaped, or tinted within three days of your appointment. Additionally, if you've had BOTOX® recently, we recommend waiting at least two weeks before your treatment to ensure we can create symmetrical, natural-looking brows. Our Springfield, MO aestheticians will provide any other specific preparation tips during your consultation to ensure you're ready for the treatment.
How can I make my results last longer?
Your microblading results can last up to two years, but there are things you can do to help maintain the color and shape. Protect your brows from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, as UV rays can cause fading. Avoid exfoliation treatments, face peels, or products like Retin-A and glycolic acid on your brows, as these can also fade the color. Following these steps will help keep your eyebrows looking fresh for as long as possible.
Will my eyebrows be shaved off before the treatment?
We aim to work with your natural brow shape, so we won't shave your eyebrows. We may remove a few stray hairs that fall outside of the treatment area, but we'll always get your approval before doing so.
What is the difference between microblading and micropigmentation?
Microblading is a form of micropigmentation, but the key difference is the technique used. Micropigmentation involves a permanent makeup machine, while microblading uses a hand-held tool with tiny blades to create fine, hair-like strokes. This allows for more precision and a more customized, natural-looking result that can be tailored to your individual brow shape and preferences.
Does the microblading procedure hurt?
To ensure your comfort, our team at Aesthetic Med Studio applies a local anesthetic or numbing cream to the brow area before the procedure begins. While some patients may feel slight pressure or a scratching sensation, most report minimal to no pain during the treatment. We will make sure you are as comfortable as possible throughout your entire session.
Are there any activities I should avoid after my treatment?
Yes, for a short period after your procedure, it is important to avoid excessive sweating from workouts, swimming, saunas, and direct sun exposure. These activities can cause the pigment to fade prematurely or lead to infection in the treated area. Our staff at Aesthetic Med Studio will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your new brows.
