What is Eyebrow Microblading/Feathering?
Eyebrow Microblading, also known as eyebrow feathering or ‘feather stroke tattooing’, is a growing area of eyebrow styling. It is a semi-permanent technique using a hand tool as opposed to more common cosmetic tattooing. The hand tool results in strokes that are incredibly fine, producing a realistic hair effect with a natural look.
While microblading is a type of tattoo that delivers soft and subtle results, the pigment is applied superficially to the skin, meaning your body eventually metabolises it, and your brows return to their original shade. Over time, the pigment on your brows will lighten from its original colour, so a touch-up every 12 to 18 months can keep your brows looking fresh and flawless.
The benefits of microblading your brows
If you’ve overplucked in the past, have sparse patches of hair or your brows have thinned with age and now lack definition and fullness, microblading offers an excellent solution to your beauty needs. When you opt for microblading in Melbourne, you’ll enjoy the following long-term benefits:
- No upkeep — Once your treatment for microblading in Melbourne is complete and your brows have healed, you can continue life as normal. Microbladed brows are smudge- and budge-proof, meaning you can swim, work out, hit the sauna or regularly wipe your brows without impacting the results.
- Saves time — If you spend an hour in the mirror filling in your brows or have to fix smudging by reapplying your products throughout the day, microblading is the perfect solution to help you save time in your beauty routine.

- Long-lasting results — This non-invasive treatment will keep your brows looking full, fluffy and flawless for up to three years. Your brows will retain their shape, arch and size, however, you may need a touch-up to enhance the colour after the pigment fades. Simple aftercare instructions, such as avoiding excessive moisture, exposure to sunlight and picking or scratching the treated area, can help enhance the longevity of your results.
- Painless, effective and safe — When you schedule an appointment for microblading in Melbourne at O’some Brows, our team of PMU ARTIST specialise in this advanced technique, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re in the hands of professionals trained to deliver natural-looking results that last.

While microblading is considered semi-permanent, the results can last up to three years, depending on factors such as your skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle.
Activities such as excessive sweating, prolonged sun exposure, swimming in chlorinated water, and the use of certain skincare products (such as chemical peels) can cause the pigment to fade faster. If you find the pigment has lightened over time, this is a tell-tale sign it’s time to schedule an appointment for a touch-up.
When you visit O’some Brows for the best microblading in Melbourne, our team can complete your treatment within two and a half hours. After prepping your skin and applying a numbing cream, we will map out the shape and symmetry of your brows to ensure accuracy and precision. Then, we’ll begin microblading and depositing pigment into the skin, which typically takes around one to two hours.
Once the microblading is complete, we’ll apply a soothing ointment to promote healing and protect the area. You’ll be given aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and maintenance of your freshly microbladed brows. If you require additional touch-ups or adjustments during the procedure, it may prolong the overall duration.
The healing process after microblading typically takes about four to six weeks. Here’s a general timeline of what to expect after your microblading in Melbourne:
- Initial healing — In the first one to two weeks, the treated area will appear slightly darker and more intense in colour. As the pigment settles into the skin, your brows may feel tender, and there can be some mild redness.
- Peeling and scabbing (around one week) — You may notice some scabbing in the brow area, which is a natural part of the healing process. Do NOT pick, scratch or peel off any scabs.
- Colour fading and settling (2-4 weeks) — As the healing progresses, the pigment in your brows will begin to appear lighter. This is normal as the top layers of the skin heal and slough off. The pigment will gradually settle into the deeper layers of the skin, and the true colour of your microbladed brows will become more apparent.
- Final results (4-6 weeks) — By this stage, the healing process is complete, and you’ll be able to see the final results from your treatment. At this point, you can assess whether you need touch-ups or adjustments to achieve your desired results.
