  • THE IWAMA SENSITIVE TECHNIQUE
    The Iwama Sensitive Technique was created by established cosmetic tattoo artist and owner of Iwama Clinics in Boca, Raton, FL, Priscila Iwama. Over the past few decades, the way Priscila works with ink and skin has become more and more unique and personalized. Focused on the well-being and health of her clients, her journey birthed the Iwama Sensitive Technique; permanent makeup applied in a delicate manner, stimulating collagen production and protecting the current and future integrity of your skin--not to mention, superior realistic results. Priscila's technique focuses on precisely depositing small amounts of ink in the ideal depth of the papillary dermis (first dermis layer of the skin). This increases the color's longevity and results in a shorter, more comfortable, and practically bleed-free procedure. The Iwama Sensitive Technique, combined with the best brands of ink pigment on the market, organic and inorganic, ensures that the area remains in the healed tone and guarantees a uniform fade of the color over time. What is microblading? Microblading is a semi-permanent dermopigmentation technique used to create the illusion of fuller eyebrows. With microblading, pigment is implanted just below the epidermis (the most shallow part of the dermis). One by one, each hair stroke is delicately drawn with a hand-held tool, also known as Tebori, guaranteeing more precision in its execution and a more realistic result.

  • MICROBLADING BENEFITS
    Eyebrows play an extremely important role in harmonizing our faces and affect how people see and feel about us. The wrong shape can make you look tired, angry, or older than you are. The right eyebrow shape can help accentuate the eyes, shape the face, and can even make you look more youthful-- it’s no wonder we are all obsessed with them. Unfortunately, most of us are not born with perfectly manicured brows and some have health conditions, like alopecia, which make it impossible to have full, structured brows. The amount of time spent creating our desired shape in the morning can be as long as 15 minutes, and as we all know, only to get smeared, washed, or sweated off later in the day, and be repeated again the next morning. Every. Single. Day. That’s why a lot of people choose microblading, it saves time, money, and eliminates the inconvenience of having to repeat all of these steps every day. Not to mention--a true artist can make you look like you were born with them.
  • WHAT IS YOUR METHOD FOR MICROBLADING?
    A lot of care goes into finding the perfect eyebrow shape. It’s the longest part of the microblading procedure. Our goal is to provide harmony to your face, creating the most natural brow and shape possible. Focus is on creating a shape that is capable of highlighting your best features while correcting asymmetries in your brows and balancing the proportions. You can feel comfortable knowing you are involved in the entire process, from measurements to discussing preferences, observing changes as they materialize. While creating the perfect shape, we also apply visagism principles. These techniques aim to bring harmony to your facial features while enhancing your beauty and staying true to your identity. Other factors such as your lifestyle, personality, facial treatment routine, use of rejuvenating creams, and tonality of your skin and eyes are also taken into consideration. To help reduce discomfort, we apply an anesthetic cream before the procedure, which typically lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. Since the Iwama Technique is very delicate, clients tend to have low amounts of swelling and redness in the area and quality results can be seen shortly after the procedure. Afterward, to further promote healing, we use a high-tech, low-intensity laser on the procedural area. Pro Tip: Be very careful hiring professionals that use the same stencils for everyone’s face, or that try to change your brow shape or arch dramatically. An ethical and caring professional will stay true to your natural features and hair growth, and make the procedure as painless as possible. Take your time in choosing the right artist for you.
  • WHAT DOES THE HEALING PROCESS LOOK LIKE?
    Healing occurs gradually and smoothly. Within the first 3 days, the color will be more intense. On the 4th day, almost all of our clients notice only a gentle peeling. Very rarely do any of our clients have scabs and some just notice the pigment color gradually lightening. Within days, you will be able to see the final color, which in some cases, may present a loss of up to 50% of the pigment, however, results vary from person to person. These changes occur due to a significant increase in collagen and elastin production in the area. The outer layer of the skin heals within 5 to 7 days. The inner layers of the skin take longer, sometimes up to 45 days or more depending on the client's age and metabolism, however healing is not externally visible.
  • HOW LONG DOES MICROBLADING LAST?
    On average dermopigmentation lasts from 8 to 24 months, depending on the type of skin, metabolism, lifestyle/skin habits and personal perception. After the initial healing period has passed, together we can compare your results and decide if a touch-up is needed to achieve your desired look. When necessary, touch-ups can be done after the healing process is complete, which can take from 5 to 6 weeks. To further extend your eyebrows’ longevity, we use the best and most advanced products and equipment. We boost the healing process immediately after the procedure with a low-intensity laser and quality products that hydrate the skin.

  • IS MICROBLADING SAFE?
    Overall, microblading is much less invasive than a traditional tattoo and has no downtime. Most side effects of micropigmentation, such as minor swelling immediately after the procedure, are mild. We almost always avoid severe reactions due to the delicate nature and application of the Iwama Sensitive Technique and our operational and safety standards. ​
  • CONTRAINDICATION
    As much as lip blushing is a safe and effective technique, it is not recommended for: • Expectant mothers • Women who are breastfeeding • People with uncontrolled diabetes Important Note: If you have a history of cold sores you have to take more precautions before your lip dermopigmentation procedure. Even if it was a long time ago, it is important that you take an antiviral medication before, during, and for at least one week after the procedure. If you have any questions, we recommend seeing your doctor to make sure that the procedure can be safely performed. ​
