What is microneedling? We’re frequently asked this question, so we thought we’d write a short post describing the basics of this effective skin treatment. Are you looking for a safe anti-aging treatment, with little to no downtime, that will surprise you with fantastic results?

Did you know that in Canada there is no regulatory body for the microblading or permanent makeup industry? This means that absolutely anyone can perform these services AND teach them, with little to no training or education and no permanent makeup or microblading certification. With lack of regulation there has been an exponential increase in quick courses and poor training. Some courses are even offered online, with no hands-on training at all, and many are only 2-3 days long.
