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? Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and the texture changes that occur with age, as well as the overall tone and brightness of your skin.

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.

Microfeathering is a variation on microblading that involves less strokes, less colour intensity and finer blades to create an undone, natural, feathered brow. The term was originally coined by L.A based brow expert Kristie Streicher, who helps give clients lush, full and natural-looking brows. A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Adele, and Lorde get this procedure.

Are your permanent makeup pigrments organic? This is a frequent question and one you should understand the answer to, whether you are a permanent makeup client or an artist. Sadly, most of today’s permanent makeup training programs don’t have the time or the understanding to address the chemical structure of pigments. The result is that both consumers and artists are often misinformed.
