The Magic of Microblading

The Magic of Microblading

What is Microblading ?

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that involves using tiny, fine-point needles that make up a small, disposable blade. The needle finely scratches the surface of the skin, creating featherweight strokes on the epidermis layer of the skin.

The technique creates thin, crisp lines giving the illusion of realistic, natural hair strokes. With this technique, artists can create a natural light finish to a bold brow look.

What is the diffrence between microblading and tattooing?

Microblading differs from conventional permanent tattooing by the very fact that it is a manual procedure. When using a hand-held micro-blade, the colour is deposited closer to the surface than when a machine is used, leaving very fine hair strokes with no spilling under the skin.

How long does the microblading procedure take?

Microblading requires 2 sessions to achieve the final results. I take my time with my clients. The first visit takes approximately 2 hours and the second visit takes approximately 1hour.

Who can have Microblading?

With all semi-permanent makeup procedures it is the practitioner’s responsibility to make sure that there are no contraindications to treatment. It is recommended that a doctor be consulted prior to treatment if a medical condition exists.

From my personal experience with my clients, microblading results can last anywhere between 2-4 years.

Since Microblading pigments are not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, the area will naturally fade over time

A lot of factors can affect the pigment durability:

• How your skin is reacting to the pigment,
• Excessive sweating,
• Waxing,
• Your skin type (oily, problematic skin pigment will stay less – for this skin type we recommend shading/powder technique)
• Your skincare routine will also have an effect on the longevity of the pigment. Patients who tan, use chemical peels or products with AHA or Glycolic Acid will fade faster as your skin will resurface faster.

Does it hurt?

Like all semi-permanent procedures microblading will require a topical anesthetic which can be topped up throughout the procedure making it relatively painless.

What to expect during the healing process? 

Microblading is a TWO-STEP process.  The first step is the initial procedure and the second step is your 4-8  week touch up visit.

After the procedure, the area treated will be a lot darker and more intense which is normal. This will last 2-3 days until the skin calms down. Swelling/edema is really very minimal, however, it must be mentioned that some swelling happens. Every skin type is different, every skin type takes pigment very differently and heals differently. Your skin can be healed in a few days without any healing phases mentioned here.

After a few days, your new microbladed eyebrows may appear very faintly which is due to the new skin forming over the treated area. They can also be flak and itchy, due to skin healing. Week 3-4 is where natural exfoliation has happened and the color emerges. Once they are healed, they will become lighter and they will blend in with your natural eyebrow hairs. They will fade gradually while your skin is naturally renewing.

What is to be avoided after microblading treatment: 

During the first 10 days after your microblading treatment: all cream and makeup on the eyebrows area. Avoid workouts that involve a lot of sweating, sauna, facial massage and steam.

In the next 30 days: sunbathing, tanning beds, light therapies, chemical peelings, microdermabrasion, creams with regeneration factors. Avoid laser treatments over the treated area(Fraxel, laser IPL) because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.
