Your eyebrows’ shape and width can enhance your facial features as long as your brows are styled exclusively and authentically for you. The right design is capable of highlighting your best features while maintaining a natural look.
The hair strokes are drawn delicately one by one, blending in with your natural brow hair, making the distinction between one and the other nearly impossible. Because it is a procedure performed through microblading, it is not subjected to the trepidation caused by the dermograph/Permanent Makeup Machine. Each strand is manually drawn with a manual holder, also known as Tebori, guaranteeing more precision in the execution and a more realistic result.
Thinking about further optimizing the procedure’s durability and a natural look, I created the Microblading Sensitive technique. My technique focuses on depositing smaller amounts of ink in the papillary dermis (first layer of the skin), resulting in a quicker, more comfortable, and practically bleedingfree procedure. While this ideal depth in the pigment implantation increases the color’s durability, it also ensures your skin’s health.
Eyebrows play an incredibly important role in harmonizing our facial features and influencing how others perceive us. The wrong shape can make us look tired, angry, or older, while the right eyebrow shape can accentuate the eyes, define the face, and even make us appear more youthful. It’s no wonder eyebrows have become such a universal obsession. Unfortunately, many of us aren’t naturally blessed with perfectly manicured brows, and some face health challenges, like alopecia, that make it impossible to achieve full, structured eyebrows.
The struggle doesn’t end there—the time spent each morning trying to create the perfect shape can take up to 15 minutes, only to have the results smudge, wash away, or fade throughout the day, leading to the same routine the next morning. Every. Single. Day. This is why microblading has become such a popular solution. Not only does it save time and money, but it also eliminates the hassle of daily maintenance. When performed by a skilled artist, microblading can create brows so natural-looking that they appear to have always been yours.
A lot of care goes into finding the perfect eyebrow shape. It’s the longest part of the microblading procedure. Our goal is to provide harmony to your face, creating the most natural brow and shape possible. Focus is on creating a shape that is capable of highlighting your best features while correcting asymmetries in your brows and balancing the proportions. You can feel comfortable knowing you are involved in the entire process, from measurements to discussing preferences,
observing changes as they materialize.
While creating the perfect shape, we also apply visagism principles. These techniques aim to bring harmony to your facial features while enhancing your beauty and staying true to your identity. Other factors such as your lifestyle, personality, facial treatment routine, use of rejuvenating creams, and tonality of your skin and eyes are also taken into consideration.
To help reduce discomfort, we apply an anesthetic cream before the procedure, which typically lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. Since the Marie Technique is very delicate, clients tend to have low amounts of swelling and redness in the area and quality results can be seen shortly after the procedure. Afterward, to further promote healing, we use a high-tech, low-intensity laser on the procedural area.
Pro Tip: Be very careful hiring professionals that use the same stencils for everyone’s face, or that try to change your brow shape or arch dramatically. An ethical and caring professional will stay true to your natural features and hair growth, and make the procedure as painless as possible. Take your time in choosing the right artist for you.
Healing occurs gradually and smoothly. Within the first 3 days, the color will be more intense. On the 4th day, almost all of our clients notice only a gentle peeling. Very rarely do any of our clients have scabs and some just notice the pigment color gradually lightening.
Within days, you will be able to see the final color, which in some cases, may present a loss of up to 50% of the pigment, however, results vary from person to person. These changes occur due to a significant increase in collagen and elastin production in the area.
The outer layer of the skin heals within 5 to 7 days. The inner layers of the skin take longer, sometimes up to 45 days or more depending on the client’s age and metabolism, however healing is not externally visible.
On average dermopigmentation lasts from 8 to 24 months, depending on the type of skin, metabolism, lifestyle/skin habits and personal perception. After the initial healing period has passed, together we can compare your results and decide if a touch-up is needed to achieve your desired look.
When necessary, touch-ups can be done after the healing process is complete, which can take from 5 to 6 weeks. To further extend your eyebrows’ longevity, we use the best and most advanced products and equipment. We boost the healing process immediately after the procedure with a low-intensity laser and quality products that hydrate the skin. must be followed to achieve maximum results.
Overall, microblading is much less invasive than a traditional tattoo and has no downtime. Most side effects of micropigmentation, such as minor swelling immediately after the procedure, are mild. We almost always avoid severe reactions due to the delicate nature and application of the Marie Sensitive Technique and our operational and safety standards.
As much as lip blushing is a safe and effective technique, it is not recommended for:
• Expectant mothers
• Women who are breastfeeding
• People with uncontrolled diabetes Important
Note: If you have a history of cold sores you have to take more precautions before your lip dermopigmentation procedure. Even if it was a long time ago, it is important that you take an antiviral medication before, during, and for at least one week after the procedure. If you have any questions, we recommend seeing your doctor to make sure that the procedure can be safely performed.

Microblading is a semi-permanent dermopigmentation technique used to create the illusion of fuller eyebrows. With microblading, pigment is implanted just below the epidermis (the most shallow part of the dermis). One by one, each hair stroke is delicately drawn with a hand-held tool, also known as Tebori, guaranteeing more precision in its execution and a more realistic result.

Important Note: in the United States, from the Health Department’s standpoint, all cosmetic tattoo treatments are considered ‘permanent.’
