Perfect brows have become one of the most requested aesthetic goals in beauty clinics worldwide, and for good reason. Eyebrows frame the face, define expression, and can instantly elevate someone’s look. At IV Wellness in Dubai, microblading continues to be one of our most popular treatments because it delivers natural looking, long lasting, low maintenance brows for women and men who want effortless beauty every day.

If you are thinking about microblading or want to understand the treatment in detail before booking, this guide covers everything you need to know. From the technique and benefits to the healing process and results, here is the complete breakdown of how microblading works at IV Wellness.

What Is Microblading

Microblading is a semi permanent brow enhancement technique that uses fine, hair like strokes to recreate the look of natural eyebrows. It is performed using a handheld tool with ultra thin blades that deposit pigment into the first layer of the skin. The result is a realistic brow pattern that blends seamlessly with natural brow hair.

Unlike traditional eyebrow tattooing, which goes deeper into the skin and looks more solid or harsh, microblading is designed for a soft, natural effect. The strokes mimic real brows and fade gradually over time, allowing for adjustments as brow trends or preferences evolve.

Why Brows Matter More Than Ever

Brows have become a core element of facial aesthetics. They influence balance, symmetry, and the overall appearance of the eyes. Well shaped brows can make the face look more defined, lifted, and polished. Microblading helps clients achieve their ideal shape without the effort of daily makeup.

How Microblading Works

Microblading is a detailed, artistic procedure that requires precision and a trained aesthetic specialist. At IV Wellness, every session is customised based on face shape, natural brow pattern, hair colour, and client preference.

The treatment follows these steps.

Step 1. Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation where our specialist studies your facial features, discusses your desired brow shape, and selects the right pigment colour for your skin tone.

Step 2. Brow Mapping

Brow mapping is a structured method used to design the ideal shape. Using facial measurements, the specialist outlines the brows to ensure balance and symmetry that complement your natural features.

Step 3. Numbing

A numbing cream is applied to keep the experience comfortable. Most clients describe the treatment as very tolerable, with minimal discomfort.

Step 4. Creating the Strokes

Using a sterile handheld microblading tool, the specialist creates fine strokes across the brow area. Each stroke is placed strategically to replicate natural hair growth direction.

Step 5. Adding Pigment

Pigment is gently applied over the strokes to ensure even absorption. The brows take on a defined yet soft appearance immediately after the treatment.

Step 6. Final Touch and Aftercare Instructions

At the end of your session, your specialist checks symmetry, refines any details, and provides aftercare guidance to support smooth healing and long lasting results.

How Long Does Microblading Last

Microblading typically lasts between 12 and 24 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Oily skin types may require more frequent touch ups, while dry or normal skin often holds pigment longer. A colour boost session is recommended once a year to maintain crisp, fresh looking brows.

Who Is Microblading For

Microblading is suitable for a wide range of clients, including those who:

• Have thin or sparse brows
  
  

• Want more defined or symmetrical brows
  
  

• Prefer a natural brow shape without daily makeup
  
  

• Want waterproof, sweat proof, smudge proof results
  
  

• Struggle with brow pencil or powder application
  
  

• Have overplucked brows
  
  

• Want a more groomed, polished look
  
  

Both men and women benefit from microblading, as the technique is fully customisable for bold, soft, masculine, or natural finishes.

How to Prepare for Microblading

To ensure the best results, clients are encouraged to follow these simple steps before their appointment:

• Avoid brow waxing or threading for at least one week
  
  

• Stop using retinol or exfoliating skincare around the brows for one week
  
  

• Avoid heavy sun exposure before the session
  
  

• Stay hydrated
  
  

• Avoid caffeine on the day of the appointment
  
  

Proper preparation helps with pigment retention and a smoother healing process.

What to Expect After Microblading

Immediately after your session, your brows may appear darker and more defined. This is normal and temporary. Over the next seven to ten days, the brows gradually soften and settle into their natural tone.

Typical healing timeline

• Day 1 to 2: Brows appear darker and sharper
  
  

• Day 3 to 5: Mild flaking or dryness may occur
  
  

• Day 7 to 10: Colour begins to settle
  
  

• Week 4 to 6: Pigment stabilises and final results appear
  
  

A follow up appointment around six weeks later ensures that any areas that need touch ups are refined.

Aftercare Tips for Best Results

Aftercare plays a crucial role in how well the pigment holds. We guide all clients through the do’s and don’ts to ensure the best possible outcome.

Aftercare includes:

• Keeping brows dry for the first few days
  
  

• Avoiding saunas or steam rooms
  
  

• Avoiding heavy sweating during workouts
  
  

• Applying aftercare ointment as directed
  
  

• Avoiding makeup on the brow area during healing
  
  

Following aftercare correctly ensures crisp strokes and long lasting definition.
