About Microblading at Azizam
Microblading is a semi-permanent brow treatment that places very fine, hair-like strokes of pigment into the upper layer of the skin. The finish mimics real brow hair so closely that, done well, no one should be able to tell it is there. Just brows that sit full, balanced and properly defined from the moment you wake up.
Microblading is not a tattoo and not permanent makeup in the traditional sense. A handheld tool fitted with a row of ultra-fine needles is used to draw individual strokes, one at a time, in the direction of your natural hair growth. The pigment sits in the upper layer of the skin rather than going deep like a body tattoo, which is why it fades gradually over time and can be refined in the future as your face and your preferences change.
Microblading suits women in Dubai for practical reasons. Between early starts, beach days, swim sessions and the general pace of the city, brows that already look beautiful before any makeup goes on make sense. It works particularly well for clients whose natural brows are sparse, patchy, over-plucked from earlier decades, or simply less full than the rest of the face. It also suits women who already love how considered a tint or brow henna looks and want that read without touching up the brows every few weeks.
Every microblading session at Azizam begins with a full consultation. We look at bone structure, the proportions of your face, how your brows grow naturally, and what kind of finish will actually suit you rather than force a trend onto your features. We map the shape in pencil before anything permanent happens. You see the design and approve it before we begin. Nothing is placed until you are fully happy with the plan.
The appointment itself runs around two and a half to three hours. A topical numbing cream is applied to settle any discomfort, and most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching rather than pain. We work in two passes. The first places the outline and structure. The second deepens saturation where needed and refines the strokes. Once we are finished, the brows will look noticeably deeper than they will once fully healed. This is normal and expected. Final colour typically softens by around 30 to 40% as the skin settles.
Healing takes about two weeks on the surface and four to six weeks to fully settle. For the first week, the brows may scab lightly and flake, which is part of the process and should not be picked at. We send you home with clear aftercare instructions and a small balm to keep the area protected. A touch-up appointment is booked six to eight weeks after the first session to lock in any areas that lightened during healing. This second visit is part of the service and not optional. Skipping it leaves the brow looking more uneven than it should.
A well-healed microblading result holds between 12 and 18 months for most clients, with an annual refresh extending the finish further. Dubai conditions, particularly strong sun and regular swimming, do shorten retention compared to cooler cities, so consistent SPF around the brow area matters. We will talk through realistic timelines during your consultation. Anyone promising you microblading that lasts three years guaranteed is not being honest about how pigment actually behaves over time.
Microblading is not suitable for everyone, and we take screening seriously. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, clients with very oily or highly reactive skin, anyone with active breakouts, eczema or psoriasis in the brow area, clients on blood thinners, and anyone with a history of keloid scarring should not book this service. If you have had Botox or filler near the brow within the past two weeks, please wait. We go through the full screening at consultation and will turn the appointment away rather than risk a poor healing outcome.
If microblading is not the right fit for you, the softer alternatives on our menu still give a considered finish. Brow lamination gives brushed-up definition for around six weeks. Brow henna stains both skin and hair for a fuller look that lasts a few weeks without needling the skin at all. A considered brow shape on its own often feels more significant than clients expect. See the full brow menu if you would like to compare.
Microblading is a considered decision, and the right way to approach it is with a conversation first. If you are thinking about the treatment, send us a WhatsApp with a clear photograph of your current brows and a few words on what you are hoping for. We will come back with an honest recommendation. If microblading suits you, we will book the consultation. If something gentler would serve you better, we will tell you so.
Microblading FAQs
What is microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent brow treatment that uses a handheld tool fitted with a row of very fine needles to place pigment into the upper layer of the skin. The strokes are drawn one at a time in the direction of your natural hair growth, which is what gives the finish its soft, realistic look. Results last between 12 and 18 months in most clients and fade gradually over time.
How long does microblading last in Dubai?
Most clients see between 12 and 18 months from an initial set, with an annual refresh extending the finish further. Dubai sun, regular swimming and humid heat do shorten retention compared to cooler cities, which is why daily SPF around the brow area is worth the effort. Very oily skin tends to hold pigment for less time than drier skin types.
Does microblading hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before any strokes are placed, and most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching rather than pain. Some find the outer edges of the brow a touch more sensitive than the centre. You are welcome to ask us to pause at any point during the appointment if you need a moment.
How many appointments do I need for microblading?
Two. The first session places the full design and colour. The second, booked six to eight weeks later, refines the healed result and locks the finish in. This second visit is essential and not optional. After that, an annual refresh is usually enough to maintain the finish beautifully.
Is microblading suitable for oily skin?
Often not. On very oily skin the pigment tends to fade faster and the fine hair strokes can blur as they heal, so the finish may not look the way it should after settling. We will tell you honestly during consultation. For oily skin, a soft powder or ombré technique is usually a better fit, or a non-permanent option like brow henna.
What is the healing process for microblading?
The brows look deeper and more defined for the first five to seven days. They scab lightly and flake over days seven to fourteen, which is part of the process and should not be picked at. The colour softens by around 30 to 40% once healing is complete, with full settling at four to six weeks. Expect the brows to look lighter than you want them before the touch-up session tops them back up.
Can I have microblading done over an existing set from another salon?
Sometimes. If the old pigment has faded evenly to a soft, shallow tone, new work can be placed on top after a careful assessment. If the old work sits too dark, has shifted in colour, or was applied too deeply, we may recommend removal through specialist saline or laser treatment before microblading again. Please send a clear photograph over WhatsApp before booking so we can advise properly.
Who should not have microblading?
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, clients on blood thinners, anyone with active breakouts, eczema or psoriasis in the brow area, clients with uncontrolled diabetes, and anyone with a history of keloid scarring. If you have had Botox or filler in the brow area within the past two weeks, wait until the area has fully settled. We carry out a full screening at consultation.
Will my brows look fake or drawn on?
No, not when the work is done properly. Strokes are placed at angles that follow how your own brow hairs grow, in tones matched to your natural colouring. Done well, the finish reads like a softly denser version of your real brow rather than anything drawn on. The two-week healing period softens the colour further, which is part of why the final result looks so natural.
How long is a microblading appointment?
Around two and a half to three hours for the first session, including the consultation, mapping, numbing and the two passes of strokes. The six-to-eight-week touch-up session runs shorter, usually 90 minutes to two hours depending on how much refining is needed after healing.
