Brows

Microblading is a permanent makeup technique similar to eyebrow tattooing, but far more advanced. It is done manually, with a microblading tool – a blade consisting of several tiny needles – which is used to make thin incisions on the skin that look like natural brow hairs. They imitate the length, color, thickness and shape of the actual hairs.

Special pigments in the color of the natural hairs are then deposited into the skin, and the result is an illusion of thicker arches with a modified shape that best suits your face.

The results are very realistic and virtually unidentifiable, which is why this treatment is sometimes called 3D microblading.

The estimated longevity is 12-18 months, after which the brows are mostly faded as the pigments are broken down by the body. At that point, they can be replenished.

Even though microblading is a form of a tattoo, it is not permanent – it will fade after some time.

When it will fade depends on many factors, such as skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, etc. On average, it is supposed to fade within 2 years, but some people still have visible residues even after 5 years.

Microbladed eyebrows will be beneficial for:
-People who have patchy, sparse brows and want to add the illusion of fullness and thickness.
-People who are not satisfied with the shape or color of their brows – microblading will give them the shape and color to match and compliment their face features.
-Anyone who uses eyebrow enhancement makeup products every day.
-People who don’t have their natural eyebrows, like people with alopecia, or people who suffer from brow hair loss caused by a number of reasons (natural hair loss, hair loss after invasive treatments such as chemotherapy, postpartum hair loss, etc.).

Unfortunately, microblading eyebrows isn’t safe for:
-People with some autoimmune diseases
-People who are going through chemotherapy (it’s safe to get microblading 2 months before, or around 6 months after the chemo, when your system recovers and rests, but with the doctor’s approval; read more here)
-Immunosuppressed or immunocompromised patients
-People with any bleeding disorders
-People who’ve recently had Botox injections or fillers in the area (wait at least 2 weeks before you get your brows microbladed)
-People with viral infections or diseases
-People with skin irritations, Rosacea, or Psoriasis near the treated area
-People prone to ­keloid scarring
-People who use Accutane (must be off for 6 months prior to appt)
-It’s generally considered unsafe for pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding.
-People with diabetes should get a doctor’s approval
-People who take blood-thinning medications (consult your doctor and see if you can pause the meds).

If you’re not sure if getting eyebrow microblading is safe for you, consult your physician.

Microblading is done by trained, certified, and licensed microblading artists. In order to stay safe and healthy, and get satisfactory results, never go to untrained, self-taught artists who don’t have the mentioned credentials.
