EYEBROW MICROBLADING
Eyebrow Microblading Overview
​
Eyebrow microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances the appearance of eyebrows by creating fine, hair-like strokes. This method mimics natural brow hairs, providing a fuller and more defined look. It’s especially popular for those who want to avoid daily makeup application. Results typically last between 1 to 3 years, depending on individual skin type and aftercare.
How Microblading Works
-
Consultation:
-
Discuss desired shape, thickness, and color of the eyebrows.
-
The technician maps out the brows based on your face shape and natural brow line.
-
-
Numbing:
-
A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
-
-
Microblading:
-
Using a hand-held tool with fine needles, the technician deposits pigment into the upper layers of the skin by creating small, precise cuts.
-
These cuts resemble hair strokes, blending with natural brow hairs for a fuller appearance.
-
-
Aftercare:
-
Initially, the brows may appear darker than expected, but the color will fade and soften as they heal over the following weeks.
-
Benefits of Microblading
-
Natural-Looking Results: Fine strokes blend seamlessly with your natural brows.
-
Semi-Permanent: Lasts longer than makeup but is not as permanent as traditional tattoos, allowing for style changes.
-
Time-Saving: Eliminates the need for daily eyebrow makeup application.
-
Customized Shape: Brows are shaped to complement your facial features and personal style.
Ideal Candidates
-
Individuals with sparse, thin, or over-plucked eyebrows.
-
Those desiring a fuller, more defined brow shape.
-
People seeking a low-maintenance beauty routine.
Healing Process
-
Day 1-2: Brows appear darker and more intense than expected.
-
Day 3-7: Scabbing may occur; avoid picking to prevent pigment loss.
-
Day 7-14: Brows may lighten and appear less defined as they heal.
-
4-6 Weeks: A follow-up appointment for touch-ups is often recommended, as some areas may heal unevenly.
Aftercare Guidelines
-
Avoid getting the brows wet for the first week (no swimming, steam rooms, or intense workouts).
-
Use prescribed ointments or moisturizers as directed.
-
Avoid touching or scratching the brows to prevent infection or premature pigment loss.
-
Protect the area from direct sun exposure.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
-
Infection: Risk exists if the procedure is not performed in a sterile environment or if aftercare isn’t followed.
-
Allergic Reactions: Rare, but some may react to pigments.
-
Fading or Uneven Healing: Results can fade over time, with some areas potentially requiring touch-ups.
Longevity and Maintenance
-
Results generally last 1 to 3 years, influenced by skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure.
-
Oily skin may experience faster fading, while dry skin often retains pigment longer.
-
Touch-up sessions every 12-18 months help maintain the desired look.
