What is eyebrow microblading?

Eyebrow microblading is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that creates the illusion of fuller, more defined eyebrows. It involves using a small blade to create tiny, hair-like strokes in the brow area, which are then filled with pigment. The result is a natural-looking, long-lasting brow shape that can help to frame the face and enhance overall appearance.

Here's a more detailed explanation of the eyebrow microblading process:

1. Consultation: Before the procedure, you'll have a consultation with your technician to discuss your desired brow shape and color. The technician will assess your skin type and any brow concerns you may have to ensure microblading is the right choice for you.

2. Numbing: A topical anesthetic is applied to the brow area to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.

3. Blade Selection: The technician selects a blade that is appropriate for your skin type and desired brow effect.

4. Creating Strokes: Using the blade, the technician creates tiny, hair-like strokes in the brow area, following the natural growth pattern of your brows. These strokes are made by gently scratching the skin's surface and depositing pigment into the epidermis.

5. Pigment Application: Once the strokes have been created, pigment is applied to fill them. The pigment is chosen to match your natural brow color or desired shade.

6. Healing: After the procedure, your brows will appear darker and thicker due to the initial scabbing process. It takes about 7-10 days for the scabs to fall off, revealing the final brow results.

7. Touch-Up Session: A touch-up session is usually scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure. This allows your technician to assess the healed results and make any necessary adjustments to the shape, color, or density of the brows.

Eyebrow microblading can last anywhere from 1-3 years, depending on your skin type and lifestyle. It's important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your technician to ensure optimal results and longevity of your microbladed brows.
