What is Microblading?
Microblading is a manual “hand” method of semi-permanent cosmetics for your eyebrows, A small blade is used to deposit ink throughout the brow area, into the upper layers of skin. This process creates extremely fine natural looking hair strokes, perfectly natural looking and full brows.
Microblading provides a means to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hair. It is also known by a variety of names such as embroidery, micro-stroking, feather touch and hair like strokes.
Frequently Asked Questions
The pigment is applied with a small blade to create thin hair like marks in the skin. Your aesthetician will choose the blade type according to the technique and the skin type. The pigment is bladed just below the epidermis and the most shallow part of the dermis, making extremely fine natural looking hair strokes.
A very natural result is achieved, as the hairs are bladed into the skin according to the natural hair growth direction. A touch up is included 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment.
Since microblading pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the area will naturally fade overtime. The results last anywhere from 12 to 18 months depending on several factors, your skin type and care (normal, oily, dry), age (youthful/mature) and the products you are using on your skin.
The service can be a little uncomfortable for those who are more sensitive. However, there is an anesthetic applied during the treatment to keep this to a minimum to where it is completely tolerable.
