A new beauty trend where a
microblading artist uses a pen like hand tool that has a series of micro needles
to place pigment into the skin to create fine eyebrow like hair strokes.
Microblading is a meticulous tattooing process
available to anyone looking for a semi-permanent solution to sparse brows.
Unlike a regular tattoo, microblading is a form of tattoo artistry where
pigment is implanted under the skin with a manual handheld tool instead of a
machine. Microblading does not go nearly as deep into the skin as a regular
tattoo, therefore the effects do fade away after a while. After the process it
takes about 1 month for the color to fully set in. The entire healing process takes about 4-6 weeks.
During the healing process your brows may be itchy and flaking like dandruff
flakes or dry skin. Most clients will need a touch up after 4 -6 weeks due to
clients may lose original hair strokes which make brows uneven. This is normal
even with proper after care.
Microblading is less painful than a tattoo but
slightly more painful than plucking your eyebrows or having your eyebrows
waxed. The technician will use a numbing cream on the eyebrow area to help
reduce you being uncomfortable during the process.
Microblading does pose a risk of infection. The key to
help avoiding a costly mistake is carefully choosing a professional technician.
Be sure the technician has completed a number of successful procedures and is
referred by someone trusted who has had a good outcome. Equally important is
making sure the spa is reputable and clean.
Microblading done with the
right technique will give you natural looking eye brows. It is very important
to follow the required aftercare instructions for the best healed results.
