9 Things You Must To Know Before You Get Microblading

Microblading is one of the most popular beauty treatments out there. Eyebrows play a huge role in our appearance. They make your appearance more expressive, and a properly selected eyebrow shape can correct the shape of the face and even make you look younger! But also vice versa. If the shape of your eyebrows is inappropriate, you can age yourself or end up with a tired look.


Below is a list of the most frequently asked questions regarding microblading.


What is microblading?

Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo procedure. Using a special tool, pigment is injected into the upper layers of the skin, which, depending on the microblading technique, visually creates the effect of thick or tinted eyebrows.


Does microblading hurt?

Yes and no. Painful sensations depend on several factors: procedure technique, skill of the artist, equipment used (no pain with the machine technique compared to the hand one), and individual characteristics of the body, pain tolerance


How long does microblading last?

6 months - many years

Correctly-made microblading lasts about 1 year. After this time it fades slightly and requires minor touch-ups.

The lifespan of your new eyebrows depends on several factors.

-Your age. If you are 18, you might need updates every six months. If you are 70, you can enjoy eyebrows for several years.

-Individual characteristics of the body, metabolic rate, diseases, skin type

-The pigments used by the artist. High-quality pigments intended for permanent make-up should disappear from the skin over time and not remain in the skin for life.

-Depth of pigment application. A qualified artist applies pigment to the uppermost layers of the skin to achieve the most natural effect. In the case of poor-quality work, the pigment is inserted deeply and the effect of a real tattoo is created.


How often are follow-up appointments required?

Depending on the above factors, on average, a touch-up is required once every 1-2 years.


How long does the procedure take?

Each case is unique, but typically 1-3 hours.


How long is the healing process?

Usually 7-14 days. The first few days, microblading will have a bright effect close to decorative cosmetics, followed by several days of peeling and patchiness. You will be able to evaluate the final result only after 4 weeks.


Is it safe for all skin types?

YES! Depending on your request and skin type, the artist will select the right technique for you.


Will microblading stop my natural eyebrow hair growth?

Hand microblading in the hands of an inexperienced craftsman can. With the machine technique of microblading – never.


Can you get microblading done during pregnancy?

No! Due to all the changes happening in the female body, including hormonal levels, the result of microblading can be unpredictable.
