What is Korean Microblading?

Korean microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow technique that creates natural, hair-like strokes using a specialized handheld blade. Unlike traditional tattooing, microblading deposits pigment into the upper layers of skin, creating realistic results that fade naturally over 1-3 years.

The Technique

Using a blade with ultra-fine needles, artists create precise incisions that mimic natural eyebrow hairs. Korean artists are renowned for their delicate, natural-looking strokes.

The Pigment

High-quality Korean pigments are matched to your hair color and skin tone. They fade naturally without turning blue or orange like older tattoo inks.

The Result

Fuller, defined eyebrows that look completely natural. Wake up with perfect brows every day—no makeup needed.

The Experience

Minimal discomfort with numbing cream. 2-3 hour session in a relaxing Seoul studio. Many clients listen to music or even nap!

Korean Microblading FAQs

Korean microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow technique that creates natural, hair-like strokes using a handheld blade. Korea pioneered many microblading techniques, and Korean artists are renowned for achieving the natural "no-makeup makeup" look popular in K-beauty. The pigment is deposited into the upper dermis, lasting 1-3 years.

Korean microblading typically lasts 1-3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Oily skin tends to fade faster (12-18 months), while dry skin retains pigment longer (2-3 years). Sun exposure and skincare products with active ingredients can accelerate fading. Annual touch-ups help maintain optimal results.

Most clients describe Korean microblading as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful—like light scratching. Korean studios use high-quality numbing creams applied before and during the procedure, minimizing discomfort significantly. Many clients relax, listen to music, or even nap during the 2-3 hour session!

Korean microblading typically costs $200-$400 USD at premium Seoul studios, compared to $400-$800+ in the USA. This 40-60% savings makes Korea a popular destination for beauty tourism without compromising quality. Most packages include consultation, procedure, aftercare products, and often a touch-up session.

Yes, Korean microblading is very safe when performed by certified artists in reputable studios. Korea has strict hygiene standards, and professional studios use sterile, single-use tools and high-quality pigments. Always choose a licensed studio with good reviews and proper certifications. Our Seoul studio maintains the highest safety standards.

Absolutely! Many international visitors get microblading during their Korea trip. We recommend scheduling your procedure in the first few days of your visit, allowing healing time before flying home. Our studio offers English support and helps coordinate with your travel plans. It's a great way to combine beauty treatment with Korean culture!
