Fuller brows, one fine stroke at a time
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that uses a fine handheld tool to etch individual hair-like strokes into the skin, creating the natural appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows. It's a popular choice for anyone dealing with thinning brows, over-plucking, or simply wanting a more consistent shape.
At Defined by Linda, every treatment starts with an in-depth consultation to map a brow shape that suits your face, not a template. Results are soft, believable and fade gently over time rather than turning blue or patchy.
Microblading suits you if you're...
- Thinning or sparse brows from over-plucking or age
- Alopecia or other conditions causing hair loss
- Wanting a consistent, symmetrical shape every day
- Tired of daily brow pencil or powder routines
What happens at your appointment
Consultation
We discuss your face shape, lifestyle and desired look before agreeing a brow shape together.
Mapping
Precise measuring and pre-drawing so you can see and approve the shape before any pigment touches skin.
Microblading
Numbing cream first, then fine hair-strokes applied with a manual hand tool. Around 2.5 hours.
Touch-Up
A follow-up 6–8 weeks later to perfect saturation and shape once fully healed.
What to expect as you heal
Brows appear noticeably darker and bolder; this is expected and fades naturally.
Light flaking and scabbing as the skin renews. Avoid picking to protect pigment retention.
Skin is fully healed and colour has settled into its true, softer shade.
Touch-up appointment to perfect shape and saturation for the finished result.
Common questions
A numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most clients feel only light pressure or scratching rather than pain. Sensitivity varies, and Linda checks in throughout.
Results typically last 12 to 18 months depending on skin type, sun exposure and lifestyle. An annual colour boost keeps shape and saturation looking fresh.
Full healing takes around 25 to 30 days. Brows look darker and bolder for the first week, then soften as flaking subsides and true colour settles in.
Yes, it's essential. A touch-up 6 to 8 weeks after your first session lets Linda assess how your skin held the pigment and perfect the final shape. It's included in the price.
Microblading uses a manual hand tool to create fine, hair-like strokes. Powder brows use soft layers of pixel shading for a fuller, more defined finish. Both heal to look natural, and the right choice depends on your skin type, your brow pattern and how much definition you want.
It's not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for those with certain skin conditions, on blood thinners, or prone to keloid scarring. This is confirmed at your consultation.
Yes, initially the strokes appear more saturated. This is completely normal and fades significantly within the first two weeks of healing.
Microblading can work on oily skin, but results may not last as long and strokes may soften more quickly. Linda often recommends powder brows or combination brows instead, as soft shading holds beautifully on oily, mature and textured skin.
