Microblading in Seoul: The Complete Guide at INMOREBEAUTY SEOUL
✓ Reviewed by Director Lee An Na — INMOREBEAUTY SEOUL · Last updated: August 26, 2026 · Reading time: 8 min
Microblading at INMOREBEAUTY SEOUL, a permanent makeup studio in Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea, near Gangnam Station, is one of the studio's most requested eyebrow techniques for international visitors to the area.
Quick Answer: Microblading at INMOREBEAUTY SEOUL is a hand-tool hair-stroke technique that adds fine, natural-looking strokes to sparse or thin brows. Director Lee An Na reads your bone structure and brow muscle line before designing, and a session typically takes around 2 hours with results lasting 12–18 months. Individual results may vary.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique that uses a hand tool made of fine needles to draw individual hair-like strokes into the skin, rather than shading or filling the brow uniformly. At INMOREBEAUTY SEOUL, the goal is brows that look undone — natural enough that no one clocks it as PMU.
Who Is Microblading Best Suited For?
Microblading suits clients with naturally thin, sparse, or over-plucked brows who want definition without a filled-in, makeup look. It tends to hold its shape better on normal-to-dry skin; very oily skin can cause strokes to soften into a powder-like finish faster, which is worth discussing in consultation — this is part of why the studio also offers Powder Brow as an alternative.
What Happens During a Session at INMOREBEAUTY SEOUL?
Every session starts before a single stroke is drawn. Director Lee An Na reads your bone structure, brow muscle line, and natural hair growth pattern to map a shape suited to your face, not a template. This design-first approach is standard PMU practice recommended by international bodies such as the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals industry standards. Topical numbing is applied before and during the session for comfort.

What Does Microblading Healing Look Like?
Strokes look bold and dark for the first few days, pass through a flaking phase around Days 4–7, and can look like they've faded almost completely during the "ghost phase" around Days 7–14 — this is normal skin regeneration, not the color disappearing. Color settles into its true result by Week 4–6. For the full day-by-day breakdown of what's normal and what's not, see INMOREBEAUTY SEOUL's Eyebrow PMU healing day by day guide.
How Long Does Microblading Last, and When Should I Touch Up?
Microblading typically lasts 1–2 years, depending on skin type, sun exposure, and aftercare — daily SPF over the brow area is the single biggest factor in retention. A touch-up around 6–8 weeks after the first session refines shape and color. In Korea, PMU pigments fall under the Cosmetic Act framework overseen by the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety cosmetic regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does microblading hurt?
Most guests describe mild pressure or scratching rather than sharp pain, with topical numbing applied throughout.
How is microblading different from powder brows?
Microblading draws individual hair-like strokes by hand and suits normal-to-dry skin; powder brows use misted shading that holds up better on oily or combination skin. See the full comparison guide for a side-by-side breakdown.
Can I get microblading if I have oily skin?
It's possible, but strokes may soften and blur faster on oily skin — this is assessed in consultation, and powder brows may be recommended instead.
Can international visitors book easily?
Yes. Japanese consultations are handled directly by Director Lee An Na; English and other languages are supported via interpretation.
