About
Eyebrows frame the face, and thinning or sparse brows are one of the most common cosmetic concerns people bring to consultation. Microblading at Riva Skin, Hair & Aesthetics uses a manual technique to create natural, hair-like strokes that restore fullness and shape.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent technique that uses a fine, hand-held tool to deposit pigment in delicate strokes that mimic natural brow hairs, filling in sparse areas or reshaping the brow line for a fuller, more defined look.
How Long Does It Last?
Results typically last many months up to a couple of years, depending on skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine, gradually softening over time. Periodic touch-up sessions can help maintain the shape and color.
What to Expect: Procedure, Downtime & Aftercare
A topical numbing cream is applied before strokes are drawn, so most people find the sensation quite tolerable.
The brows may appear noticeably darker for the first few days before settling into their true shade.
Keep the area dry and avoid makeup on the brows during the initial healing period, per your specialist's instructions.
Avoid direct sun exposure and swimming while healing.
A follow-up touch-up session, usually a few weeks later, helps perfect the shape and fill in any unevenness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is microblading painful?
A numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most people find the sensation more like light scratching than pain.
Will my microbladed brows look natural?
Yes — the technique is specifically designed to mimic individual hair strokes, and your specialist will map a shape suited to your face before starting.
Who should avoid microblading?
People with active skin conditions on the brow area, certain blood disorders, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss their history with the specialist beforehand.
Can microblading be combined with other brow treatments?
Yes, some people combine it with brow tinting or shaping services — ask your specialist what's suitable for your goals.
