What is Microblading?
Microblading uses innovative techniques and technology to ameliorate the brows. Additional popular names for this technique can also be called eyebrow embroidering, hair strokes, 3D brows, or a feather look. How is this technique achieved?
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo procedure that implants stimulated hair strokes that closely follow each person’s distinctive pattern of hair growth. This is achieved with a sterile hand tool that holds very fine, small needles aligned in a single row. They are arranged on either a slanted, sloped, or U-shapes configuration in order to attain a hair stroke effect. If you are looking for a different effect, you can consult your desired look with your technician because there are a variety of hand tools that can achieve various effects.
Unlike traditional cosmetic tattooing, a microblading procedure implants color in the shallower layer called the upper dermis layer, rather than the deeper dermis layer of the skin. Does this mean that you can acquire any shape of your dreams? Well let's no get too carried away, but yes, you can potentially get ANY and I mean ANY design you would like, but a professional microblading technician would, of course, aim to apply color and design that will best enhance your features.
Is Microblading Safe?
Is this procedure safe and where did it come from? Microblading has risen to intense popularity today, yet did you know that this tattoo technique actually dates back centuries? Of course, it was pulled off in many different forms and ways than today. Some cultures would scratch designs into the skin using sharp sticks, wood, or stone. Ashes would then be deposited into the cut and the skin would be left to heal, leaving a semi-permanent design. Other cultures used finer tools to scratch designs and patterns using berries, fruits, and other natural objects of color to absorb into the skin, leaving colorful designs.
When Microblading is done by a professional, it is a very low-risk procedure. When treated properly, the only side effects one should encounter are slight redness, itching, swelling, and scabbing just within the first two weeks. It takes a month for your eyebrows to fully heal and it is crucial to come back for a touch up 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment.
Your first touch up plays a vital role in determining the longevity of your treatment! Because the purpose of a touch up is to correct any areas needed to be filled with pigment, the healing time is much quicker, lasting only 5-7 days. We already know your next question. Will you need regular touch up? Your first microblading session should be accompanied with at least one touch up included because this will help your microblading last 2 to 3 years.
