Natural, long-lasting brows at The Aesthetics & Beauty Lounge

 

Wake-up-and-go brows—tailored to your face

At The Aesthetics & Beauty Lounge in Driffield, our Microblading treatment creates realistic, hair-like strokes to fill gaps, enhance symmetry and define your brows—without a heavy “block” look. Every set is designed to your bone structure, colouring and style, delivering soft, natural definition for busy lives across Driffield, Beverley, Bridlington, Hull and East Yorkshire.

 

What is Microblading (and how it works)?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo for eyebrows. Using a sterile, hand-held microblade (a fine row of needles), your practitioner places ultra-precise pigment strokes in the upper dermis that mimic natural hairs.

  • Result: fine, feathered strokes that blend with your own brow hair.

  • Longevity: typically 12–24 months before a colour boost (skin type, sun exposure and aftercare influence this).

  • Sessions: initial treatment + perfecting session at 6–8 weeks to refine colour and balance.

 

What to expect

1) Before your appointment

  • Consultation & design: brow mapping to suit your features, shade selection to match undertone/hair.

  • Patch test: required 48 hours prior.

  • Pre-care (48–72 hrs): avoid alcohol, caffeine, aspirin/ibuprofen, fish oil, sunbeds, vigorous exfoliants/retinoids on the area.

2) On the day (1–1.5 hrs)

  • Topical anaesthetic for comfort.

  • Precision mapping and your approval of shape/colour.

  • Microbladed strokes placed with medical-grade pigments.

  • You’ll leave with clear aftercare and balm (if included in your plan).

3) Healing & aftercare timeline

  • Days 1–3: brows look darker/warmer and feel tight. Keep dry and clean; no make-up, sweat, steam or swimming.

  • Days 4–10: flaking/peeling; do not pick. Apply aftercare product as advised.

  • Weeks 2–4: colour softens 20–40%; strokes settle.

  • Week 6–8: perfecting session—we adjust density, symmetry and tone.

  • Ongoing: SPF 30–50 daily to reduce fade; gentle skincare on the area.

Treatment benefits

  • Natural hair-stroke effect (not blocky)

  • Saves time—ready-to-go brows each morning

  • Water/sweat-resistant once healed

  • Custom shape & shade to your features

  • Fills gaps/scars and improves symmetry

 

Considerations & possible side effects

  • Downtime: about 7–10 days of visible flaking; colour looks bold before it softens.

  • Touch-ups: semi-permanent—expect a 12–24 month colour boost.

  • Skin type matters: very oily or textured skin may heal softer/powdery (we’ll advise if a hybrid/powder technique is better).

  • Potential effects: temporary redness/tenderness, light scabbing, itchiness; rare reactions to pigment/anaesthetic; rare infection if aftercare isn’t followed.

  • Not suitable if pregnant/breastfeeding; active dermatitis/acne on brows; keloid scarring history; isotretinoin in last 6–12 months; certain blood-thinners (case-by-case); uncontrolled diabetes. We’ll assess your suitability at consult.

 

Who is a good candidate?

  • Sparse/over-plucked or asymmetric brows

  • Normal to combination skin (oily skin may suit combo/powder brow more)

  • Willing to follow healing rules and attend the perfecting session

  • Comfortable maintaining colour with periodic boosts

 

FAQs

1) Will microblading look natural on me?
Yes—your brows are mapped to your face and pigment is blended to your undertone. Strokes follow your hair direction for a realistic finish.

2) Does it hurt?
Discomfort is usually mild. We use topical anaesthetic and work gently; most clients feel light scratching/pressure.

3) How long does it last?
Typically 12–24 months before a colour boost. Oily skin, frequent sun, acids/retinoids and smoking can shorten longevity.

4) Can you work over previous brow tattoos?
Often—after assessment. Colour correction/cover or a powder/combination approach may be recommended for old or cool/grey work.

5) Will it affect my natural brow hair?
No—microblading sits in the skin and doesn’t stop hair growth. We may suggest growth serums to improve density around new strokes.

6) How do I care for my brows while healing?
Keep clean, dry and hands-off; avoid make-up, sweating, steam and swimming until flaking ends. Use aftercare as instructed and SPF daily thereafter.
