If you are on instagram, chances are you have heard all about this treatment. Microblading is a technique that helps you get fuller, natural looking brows. You can wake up everyday with perfect, even eyebrows!
The Procedure
Microblading is often done in combination with Microshading to give you a natural brow look. They essentially work like a brow pencil and a brow powder. Microshading gives a softer, shaded finish while microblading mimics hair strokes on your brows.
Unlike a tattoo, this is done on the epidermis (top layer) of your skin. The doctor will define your brows according to your face shape and recommend a colour based on your skin tone. You can also walk in with your brows made up as you like them and get the effect replicated in the procedure.
The doctor will apply a numbing cream on your eyebrows which takes about 45 minutes to take effect. After this, they will stencil in the brows using the microblading tool.
The needle will make a scratching noise. However, there will be no pain in the procedure because of the anesthetic.
What to Expect:
Your eyebrows might be darker than you expect for the first week. Do not worry because you will only see the true colour after 7 days. You might need a top up appointment to re-do any gaps.
This treatment lasts for about 12 months for people with oily skin and 18 months otherwise. After this, your pigment will start to naturally fade away.
