Microblading Eyebrows

Do you have questions about eyebrow microblading? Here we clarify all your doubts and give you all the information you need to achieve perfect, natural-looking brows.

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique in which individual eyebrow hairs are drawn, allowing you to enjoy flawless, natural brows that are designed to complement your face shape, personal style, or current trends. With microblading, there’s no need to apply daily makeup – just touch up every four months for a consistently polished look.

What is the Difference Between Micropigmentation and Microblading?

Micropigmentation was the first semi-permanent makeup technique to become popular in the beauty industry, though in recent years, microblading has gained more traction. Here’s an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment to help you decide which is best for you:

· Micropigmentation: This technique involves the implantation of pigments in the skin to give brows a uniform shape, adding volume, covering imperfections, and enhancing overall appearance. Micropigmentation can also be applied to other areas, such as the lips, eyes, or even for creating freckles. The results can last up to 2–3 years, depending on skin type and client preferences. Since micropigmentation penetrates deeper into the dermis, it has greater longevity compared to microblading. For micropigmentation, a device with 3–6 needle points is used to shade and fill in the brows.

· Microblading: Although trendy, this technique has an ancient origin in traditional Japanese tattooing. It requires more artistic precision, with the professional drawing each eyebrow hair one by one, studying and adapting the design to suit each individual. Microblading typically lasts between 4 and 6 months.

In summary, microblading produces very natural, precise results, but these also depend on the skill and experience of the professional. Micropigmentation offers greater durability and versatility, as it can be used for enhancements in other facial areas. We recommend an initial consultation with a specialist to decide which option best suits your needs.

Microblading Eyebrow Procedure

1. Initial Consultation: An initial appointment is scheduled to discuss the client’s needs and offer advice.

2. Eyebrow Measurement and Design: The brows are measured to define the design, considering facial features and the natural shape of the brows. Several tests are conducted to achieve the most natural and optimal results in agreement between the professional and the client.

3. Design Sketching: Once reference measurements are defined, the eyebrow model is drawn with a pencil, allowing the client to preview the design before treatment.

4. Shade Selection: The pigment shade is chosen according to the client’s natural skin, eye, and hair color, as well as their preferences. Keep in mind that the shade may slightly lighten as it dries.

5. Topical Anesthesia: Topical anesthesia is applied to ensure a comfortable experience, although the procedure is not typically painful and may only cause mild discomfort based on the client’s sensitivity.

6. Microblading: The professional draws and fills the eyebrow spaces hair by hair using small superficial strokes to apply the pigment. If a tebori pen is used, the process can be divided into two phases, depending on the client’s needs. The process duration ranges from 1.5 to 4 hours. Time doesn’t affect the price – the focus is on achieving the best results.

7. Pigment Absorption: The eyebrow area is covered with color to allow pigment absorption, followed by a gentle cleanse.

8. Medical Silicone Application: A medical silicone covering is applied to protect the skin for the next 24 hours. Post-treatment care instructions are provided, along with a contact number for any queries.

9. Touch-Up Appointment: Once healing is complete, a touch-up session is scheduled to perfect the design.

Post-Care for Microblading Eyebrows

After your first microblading session, you’ll receive all necessary instructions to maintain your eyebrows in perfect condition. Note that after treatment, your brows will go through various stages before reaching the final result, which may take up to four weeks.

· Initial Cleaning: 2-3 hours after treatment, gently clean the area with a swab dipped in sterile water to remove excess pigment and keep the area clean.

· Daily Cleaning: Clean the area twice daily using boiled, cooled water and cotton (avoid touching with fingers).

· Moderate Moisturizing: Apply a small amount of moisturizer to aid in the healing process without altering results.

· Avoid Direct Water and Moisture: Keep the brows dry, avoiding saunas, pools, and steam for 10–12 days. Shower at a temperature below 28°C to protect the area.

· No Scratching: You may feel itchiness, but avoid scratching to prevent infections.

· No Makeup on Brows: Avoid applying makeup in the treated area until healing is complete (10–12 days).

· Protect from Direct Sunlight: Wear sunglasses and a hat to shield the area from UV rays during the healing period.
