Do you want the perfect brows, the kind you won’t have to draw on every morning? Microblading is the right solution for you!

This cosmetic procedure involves manually implanting pigment into your skin using ultra-fine needles, creating natural-looking hair strokes, and giving your eyebrows a fuller, defined appearance. Let’s discuss how it works.

The Microblading Process from Scratch to Finish

Consultation:The first step to take is to have a crucial consultation with your microblading artist. This is your opportunity to express your desired eyebrow shape, colour preferences, and any concerns you may have.

Choosing The Shape and Colour:Sometimes, your skin type might not allow you get the exact shape and colour you desire but collaborating with a certified microblading artist will help you get the perfect shape that complements your features and a pigment colour that harmonizes with your natural brow shade.

Numbing: The procedure is quite painful so to ensure your comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the eyebrow area.

Mapping and Designing: Using a pencil, the artist meticulously maps and designs the desired eyebrow shape, ensuring it aligns with your facial features and preferences.

Microblading Procedure: With a handheld tool featuring fine needles, the artist makes small incisions in your skin, depositing pigment into these strokes to mimic natural eyebrow hairs.

Pigment Absorption: The pigment is allowed to absorb into the skin, a crucial step for achieving optimal results.

Wiping and Checking: Excess pigment is wiped away, and the artist carefully checks for symmetry, making adjustments as needed.

Preparing for Brow Perfection: Pre-Care

• Refrain from consuming blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least a week before the procedure.
• Limit alcohol and caffeine intake 24 hours before the appointment to minimize bleeding and sensitivity.
• Steer clear of sun exposure and tanning for at least a week before the procedure.
• Discontinue the use of retinoids for at least a week prior to the procedure to ensure optimal healing.

Nurturing Your New Brows: Post-Care

• Keep the treated area dry for the first few days post-procedure. Avoid water, sweat, and steam.
• Shield the treated area from direct sunlight and remember to wear sunscreen.
• Hold off on applying makeup to the treated area until it has fully healed.
• Resist the urge to scratch or pick at the treated area during the itching phase of the healing process.
• A touch-up appointment may be necessary 4-6 weeks after the initial procedure to ensure even pigment distribution and achieve the desired results.

Long-Term Care: Microblading typically lasts 1-2 years. To maintain your perfect brows, periodic touch-ups are recommended. Microblading is a form of tattooing, and individual experiences may vary. It’s essential to have realistic expectations, choose a certified and experienced artist, and communicate openly with your artist about your desires and concerns to ensure a safe and successful procedure.
