What is Microblading?
Microblading is a form of permanent makeup that creates natural, beautiful eyebrows with a handheld tool. It is semi permanent tattooing technique that creates hair strokes to fill in thinning or sparse brows. Each hair strokes is hand drawn and blended in with the clients existing eyebrow hair. The result is gorgeous and lifelike.
Microblading or shading/ombre
Microblading features very fine hair strokes using a nano blade to create hairstroke effects which has a soft natural look shadowing under eyebrow hair.
What is shading /ombre?
It's the newest trend and now more popular in eyebrow semi-permanent makeup. It gives a soft shaded brow pencil look (like powder makeup look). Once healed, it's more natural looking than the old fashion solid color tattoo. Ombre is suitable and great for all skin type, unlike microblading which doesn't stay on oily skin.
Is the procedure painful?
Numbing cream is apply before the procedure is done to help. On a scale of 1 to 10, often clients will say its a 3 but only for the first 10 to 15 minute, after that you will be renumb and maybe fall asleep. Everyone is different. It is well worth it.
Who should avoid permanent makeup?
- Those who are prone or keloids or post inflammatory hypopigmentation.
- If you have a transmitted blood disease such as HIV or hepatitis.
- If you have juvederm or fillers in that area
- Patients under chemotherapy
- Oily skin
- Pre-existing eyebrow tattoo that's too dark. It must be light enough to draw hair strokes.
- Those with allergies to alcohol or numbing agents.
What to expect during and after permanent makeup session.
The entire healing process will 4 to 6 weeks depending on how your skin type and age. Your eyebrow will go through several phases and during the healing cycle.
The pigment will appear natural immediately and darker the next day. Because the skin regenerate during recovery period (peeling), brows may appear lighter than original. This might give you the impression that the color is fading too quickly. Often even with proper care, you may lose some hair strokes and can leave you looking uneven. It's absolutely normal, that's why a second session (touch up) is require. My approach is to go lighter first session to see how your skin reacts to the pigment, once you come back for your 6 touch-up I can always add more color and make the brow thicker if you wish. It's always better to add more then to be too dark and not be happy about it. I see this mistake very often.
Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will like dandruff flakes or dry skin, it's superficial. Do not rub the treated area while its healing and once it heals, remember to apply spf. The final look will be apparent after 30 days. Now you can enjoy your new look.
