Microblading Pain Level
How long does microblading pain last?
Good news! Effective numbing creams have become more accessible to estheticians overtime. As a result, microblading pain has been greatly minimized.
Your microblading appointment starts by reviewing your medical history to ensure there are no contraindications that may complicate the service. After, your technician begins to map out your brows. Once you approve your new brow design, numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before start time.
How painful is microblading without numbing cream?
Microblading pain is very high without an effective numbing cream.
I always thought it would be funny to film a commercial where a foreign spy is strapped down to a bed while being tortured for information via microblading without numbing cream.
My personal experience
I first had microblading in 2015. The numbing creams available to estheticians were not very effective back then. The numbing cream would wear off quicker than expected and you’d be in pain shortly into the procedure. We had to stop often to reapply numbing cream.
But I just had to bare the pain, because I didn’t want to stop halfway through my new brow design. I survived that first microblading procedure: The pain was over. The healing process was fine with the exception of a tingling/itchy sensation while in a hot car during the healing period.
I had microblading again in 2019. The numbing cream used was different, it lasted much longer. While the experience was not 100% pain-free, it was night and day when compared to my first experience. It was very tolerable, even for a big baby like me.
Creepy…
If anyone reading has ever had laser eye surgery or “lasik”, they’ll know you don’t feel a thing, but you smell your eye burning. Similarly, especially at the beginning, you don’t feel a thing, but you hear your skin being sliced open. Cringe!
How can I ease the pain?
To decrease pain level, we recommend following the precautions prior to your appointment. Examples include avoiding all forms of caffeine, and getting enough sleep the night before. For women specifically, menstruation may cause extra sensitivity.
