Natural-Looking Brows: Microblading by Karmina
At Karmina Beauty Clinic, I, Karmina Laku, specialize in the art of eyebrow microblading in Forest Hills, NYC, a meticulous process that creates natural-looking, fuller brows. Using tiny needles, I deposit pigment into the upper layers of your skin, crafting hair-like strokes that blend seamlessly with your existing brows.
Unlike traditional tattoos, my approach offers softer, more natural results, enhancing your brows without the harshness of permanent ink. The procedure is semi-permanent, lasting up to 18 months with proper care, and requires minimal downtime, allowing you to enjoy your flawless new look quickly.

What does the procedure look like? How long does it last?
The entire procedure takes about an hour and a half. The first hour is spent on calculating the eyebrows symmetry, determining your perfect eyebrow shape according to the golden intersection (phi 1.618) and face morphology, and choosing the pigment color, taking your skin tone and hair color into consideration. Your eyebrows will initially be shaped with a pencil. The hair stroking takes about half an hour.
Microblading Is safe?
The pigments used are non-toxic and hypoallergenic, different from those used for permanent tattooing. We use PhiBrows pigments, the best on the market. The most important thing about PhiBrows pigments is that they do not contain heavy and toxic metals that usually can be found in other semi-permanent pigment brands. They are also tartrazine-free, vegan-friendly, do not migrate under the skin and it is not possible to develop reddish shadows.
The procedure is also performed with a disposable sterile tool.
Will my natural eyebrow hair be removed?
Absolutely not! Your natural eyebrow hairs will not be removed before the procedure. The more natural eyebrow hair, the better! Only the hairs that are not into the desired shape are removed, the rest remains, and the stroking is done between them.
How will my eyebrows look during the healing process?
After the procedure, there is no (or minimal) swelling. The skin might look red, depending on skin type. The redness will disappear in 30 minutes. Right after the procedure the eyebrows will have darker tones and will appear bolder. Do not try to remove the color yourself. During the next seven days, the color will fade as the procedure area heals and the microblading eyebrows will become significantly lighter and appear more natural. The final result will be a completely natural-looking eyebrow.
Is microblading painful?
As with any beauty technique, there is a bit of pain, but it is not unbearable pain. Many of our clients say that the procedure is almost painless. It should be kept in mind that each person is different and has different levels of pain. During the procedure, after the first pass, the anesthetic cream is used, which can entirely eliminate the pain. On personal demand, an anesthetic cream can be applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort.
How long does microblading last?
The durability and stability of pigmentation may vary from one client to another, depending on many factors: skin type, post-treatment care, lifestyle, the type of pigment, sun exposure, etc.
In ideal conditions, the pigment can last up to two years, and it is recommended that you do refreshment once a year. On oily skin, pigmentation will fade faster. Color refreshment is recommended after six months.
What should I do before my eyebrow procedure?
Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before the procedure or caffeine on the day of the procedure. Caffeine/alcohol thins the blood, makes you bleed more, and be more sensitive.
Do not work out the day of the procedure.
Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, or Ibuprofen 24 hours before the procedure.
Do not tan or have sunburns one week before the procedure.
No eyebrows waxing or tinting one week before treatment.
No chemical peelings, Botox and fillers, fruit or milk acids, laser, or any other intense treatments one month before treatment.
Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
What should I do after the procedure? Is there any after-procedure care?
Yes. Post-procedure care includes rinsing the eyebrows with neutral soap and applying aftercare cream with a cotton swab several times a day during the first seven days after the procedure. This is important for the longer duration of the pigment.
Avoid all of the following:
No make-up, cleansers, creams, or any other products on the treated area for 7 days (except the aftercare cream).
Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, or light therapies for 30 days after the procedure.
Avoid excessive sweating, swimming, and sauna for the first 7 days.
No Botox, chemical treatments, fruit acids, and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.
Always avoid laser treatments over the eyebrow area.
After the first seven days, always apply a layer of sunscreen on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun.
How many treatments are needed?
A touch-up procedure should be performed 4 weeks after the treatment. The touch-up includes examining the hair strokes and skin reactions to pigment. Also, if necessary, re-stroking will be done, pigment intensified and the shape corrected or thickened.
Pigment refreshing should be done once a year.
Who is not suitable for microblading procedure?
The procedure is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with diabetes, people with skin infections or herpes, people who are taking blood-thinning medicines (e.g. aspirin), people with seborrheic dermatitis on eyebrows, people taking chemotherapy, on keloids, or if you have a tendency to keloid, etc.
