Microblading
/ˈmīkrōˌblādiNG/
If you’re looking for something a little more permanent to enhance your brows, Microblading may be for you. In this semi-permanent procedure, pigment is scratched into the skin in strokes to resemble hair using a hand tool with a blade formed of tiny needles.
SATORI is the premiere provider of microblading and permanent makeup services in the Hood River-White Salmon-The Dalles area.
Permanent makeup is a technique involving tattoos to produce designs that resemble makeup. Permanent makeup is for anyone who may be looking to refine their eyebrow shape or fill. It's also a great option for someone who may be losing their eyebrows due to old age.

Pre and Post Microblading Care
Before Your
Appointment
Three Weeks Before - Avoid tanning so we can assess your natural skin tone for the procedure.
Two Weeks Before - Stop using facial scrubs and avoid other facial treatments like chemical peels and Botox.
Three Days Before - Stop using alcohol, Ibuprofen, and other medication that might thin your blood
After Your
Appointment
To ensure that your brows heal, it is important that you follow these instructions:
For the first 10 days following the procedure:
Do:
-
Stay out of the sun as much as possible.
-
Lightly apply healing ointment to your brows once per day (after the first 24 hours).
Do Not:
-
Go swimming, tanning, or use saunas.
-
Apply makeup to the brow area.
-
Exercise excessively.
-
Use exfoliating scrubs or chemical peels.
It is normal for the brow area to itch and for light scabs to form, it is very important that you do not pick or remove these scabs and allow them to heal naturally.
The microblading process creates what is essentially an open wound, failure to follow these instructions can not only damage the pigmentation, but also result in an infection.
If you suspect an infection, call your primary care physician immediately.
