What is Microblading?

Microblading is the method of implanting pigment into the fine incisions in the skin. It’s basically tattooing, but it composes of using a more delicate and specialized manual hand tool. Fine strokes are performed by hand to establish the impression of real hairs instead of offering you a block of color as conventional tattooing.

The tip of the pen used in this technique is so fine. The needle reaches only into the shallow layers of the skin, making the method semi-permanent. Microblading lasts one to three years, depending on the person’s skincare routine and skin type.

The process is performed by utilizing a hand device along with fine needles. Every ‘hair’ is etched into the skin, offering a realistic and natural appearance. Microblading could massively lower or fully reconstruct lost eyebrow. It’s also ideal for people who want to recover their brows. It’s also perfect for those who have less to no eyebrows, diminishing brows from over tweezing or from aging. The pigments utilized are picked to complement the natural or preferred color. The skin tone of the person will also be considered.

Some practices are necessary to extend its appearance. Staying away from the sun is important, as it could fade the pigment. Stay away from using too many exfoliants as well, such as glycolic acid and retinol close to your brows. Using this will only lift the top layers of the skin with constant use.

What happens when you get microblading for your eyebrows?

This section will help you fully understand the process of microblading:

·         We will shape the brow area by threading the hairs and cleaning up the region. Doing this will prepare your brow for the treatment.

·         The numbing will take at least forty minutes with the help of a topical ointment. At the same time, we will show you the color swatches and talk about the ideal shade for you to achieve the best look.

·         After ten minutes, we will use tools to start measuring the area around your brows. Some of the things we will consider are your facial features, symmetry, and facial shape, among others.

·         We will then start the needling procedure. This involves slowly inserting the pigment with featherweight lashes. Every stroke is a posturing line in the skin where the color pigment dribbles in and relaxes then. We will add another layer of numbing cream to the region if you experience any discomfort at this stage. The numbing cream will be effective after five minutes.

·         We will complement the last layer of pigment, which will stay in your skin for five minutes. After that, we’ll finish it by cleaning the area and show you the new eyebrows you have.

·         We will conduct another top-up session in four to six weeks to fill in any gaps where the pigment has not taken or healed correctly.

What is the reason behind the top-up session? When does this take place?

The top-up session will happen six to eight weeks after. This is the time where we will evaluate the preliminary procedure we have done. We will add in more strokes and add a darker pigment if needed.

What happens after the treatment?

Following after-care instructions are necessary and vital. You must prevent any scratching and picking to the treated area. Your eyebrows will begin to heal more like a tattoo. Scratching it might trigger irritation.

You might notice that your brows are a bit flaky and look like they have faded after the next ten days. Take note that it’s normal. It will show its final shape and color after thirty days. That could be topped up again in the second session.

Important Rules to Follow Before the Microblading Process

Before the Treatment

·         Don’t tint or wax your eyebrow three days before the treatment

·         Don’t take Vitamin E or fish oil one week before because there are natural blood thinners

·         Don’t have Botox three weeks before

·         Don’t use any type of peel or facial two weeks before

·         Stop using Vitamin A or any retinol products one month before

·         Don’t use sunbeds or sit in direct sunlight two weeks before

·         Don’t wax, tweeze, pick or have electrolysis one week before

During the Day of the Treatment

·         Don’t take ibuprofen or aspirin 24 hours before

·         Don’t drink alcohol 24 to 48 hours before your appointment

After the Treatment

1. Gently wash your eyebrows every morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap such as Cetaphil. Ensure all soap is rinsed away and dry by gently patting with a tissue. This will not remove the pigment.

DO NOT use any cleansers containing acids or exfoliants.

2. Apply a very small amount of healing balm to each brow morning and night. 

Things to consider once your brows have been microbladed...
