No this method is completely different. Micro pigmentation is much better and safer. It is less painful heals quicker and lasts longer and can be done in the hair stroke technique Microblading is done by a manual hand tool that slices strokes under the skin. Micropigmentation is done with a machine that deposits the colour consistently and evenly in an up down motion(like a sewing machine). If done incorrectly microblading can cause severe scarring or metal oxidization(grey/silver lines)under the skin if you have oily skin microblading will not take and if it does it usually disapears at a rapid rate.(0-6months). Micropigmentation will last on avarage (3-5years). Less pain and maintanence but yet a natural result micropigmentation is definitely the way to go! 

That depends on the skin type, skin quality, oil content and maturity of the skin. It also depends on the color of shade you used, on average it lasts approximately from 1-5 years on lips and about 3-5 years on brows and eyeliners.

DPI is when a special device is used to implant the micro pigments at a safe depth of 0.07mm into the epidermal layer of the skin.

No. The principal is similar but the instruments, purity of color, depth of penetration and techniques are all different. In DPI you receive a soft natural look that was designed for you. Tattooing leaves you with a harsh painted on look that can fade to unflattering colors as time goes on.

I use the best in topical freezings so it is pain free. Some clients may feel a slight tenderness near the end of the procedure.

Yes. There is no down time after the procedures. Eyebrows are just 50% darker then they will be when they heal, they may have a small amount of redness and there is no swelling, eyeliners may become a bit swollen just along the line but nothing serious, it is a good idea to bring sunglasses just in case your eyes feel sensitive after the procedure, lip colors also have a small amount of swelling and, just like the brows, are 50% darker then they will be. It takes about 4-7 days to be completely healed from all of the procedures.
