Frequently Asked Questions about Micropigmentation in Barcelona

It is the art of reconstructing your look hair by hair. Ideal if the passage of time or bad hair removal in the past has left you without expression or with irregular eyebrows.

We implant pigment with surgical precision into the superficial layer of the skin so you stop being a slave to the pencil every morning. You have all the information in our brow design section or you can book your session here.

Don't worry about the technical name, I take care of that. The main difference is the tool: microblading (manual strokes) is ideal for dry or normal skin, and micropigmentation (powder effect with a dermograph) is perfect for higher density or oily skin.

Tell me what you want to achieve and I will choose the best technique for you. Check the details of each one on our services page or book a consultation to clear your doubts.

You can, but I won't let you get traditional microblading if I know it's going to blur due to the excess natural sebum in your skin.

In these cases, we recommend micropigmentation (shading) or hybrid techniques that guarantee perfect color retention. I prefer to say 'no' to a treatment rather than give you a mediocre result. Discover how we adapt techniques in our service or schedule your appointment.

The absolute freedom of not wearing makeup lasts between 12 and 18 months. It is not a lifelong tattoo, which is a great advantage because your face changes, trends change, and the design must evolve with you.

It is an annual investment in your daily peace of mind and your status. Read more about retention here or if you already need a refresher, request your touch-up appointment.

Absolutely no. That only happens if it's done by someone who saves money by buying cheap, low-quality pigments or injecting them too deeply.

At AC Studio we use very high-end chemistry that simply lightens elegantly over time, without leaving strange residues. If you want strange colors, you will have to go somewhere else. Discover more about our quality in the micropigmentation section or book your safe treatment.

It is impossible for you not to like it. We use measurements based on the Golden Ratio and do a visagism study before starting.

We don't touch the skin with the needle until you look in the mirror, approve the pencil design, and say: 'Those are my eyebrows'. You have the final say in the entire previous drawing. Review the step-by-step of the custom design or book your facial evaluation.

It depends on the condition of your current eyebrows. First, we evaluate in our Barcelona center if we can neutralize the error or the grayish color, or if you need laser sessions to erase before rebuilding.

We don't do miracles on just anything, we prefer to be honest about what is possible to achieve. Review the options in corrective services or book your visual diagnosis so we can guide you.

It is a chemical and visual technique for lips with dark, purplish, or cold tones (very common in dark skin or from smoking). First, we balance the base color by injecting warm tones, and then we apply the desired color.

The result is a lip with a healthy and fresh look 24 hours a day. You have examples in the lip micropigmentation section or you can book the neutralization.

Physically no, since we do not inject hyaluronic acid. But visually they do look thicker. We create an optical illusion of projection and juiciness by defining the contour that the passage of time has blurred and bringing light to the center of the lip.

It is the elegant and risk-free alternative to dermal filler. Find out more about this optical effect in the lip service or request your lip design.

You can, but under a strict protocol. It is mandatory that your doctor or pharmacist prescribes an antiviral (such as oral Acyclovir) a few days before and after the treatment.

We do not risk causing an outbreak due to needle stimulation because of a lack of foresight. Safety is the foundation of our center. Read more about care here or, if you already have your prophylaxis, request your appointment.

Look, we will ask you for 7 to 10 days of absolute respect for your skin. No excessive sweat (gym), no saunas or pools, no direct sun, and zero makeup on the treated area.

If you cannot comply with this, better not spend your money, because you will ruin the healing process and lose the pigment. You have the full care guide in this section. If you can commit, book your change.

Totally normal. It is the known 'scare phase'. The first few days the color is 40% more intense and darker, and very fine scabs may appear.

It is VITAL not to scratch or tear off those little flakes. Let the skin do its job; the natural color and real magic resurface at 30 days, when the skin regenerates. Explore more details in the healing guide or secure your spot if you are sure.

On the contrary, we do not do it to bother you, it is crucial to ensure that your investment lasts for months and looks premium. The touch-up serves to perfect the original design and fill in areas where your body has naturally expelled pigment.

Without a touch-up at 30-45 days, we consider the work to be half-done and it will last much less. Discover why it is important in our methodology or book your review session.
