Who doesn't want full and big eyebrows? After all, it is one of the hottest trends right now. Think about all of the hottest Hollywood stars, and you can see eyebrows that make a statement. However, not many of us are blessed with perfect eyebrows. But don't lose hope yet as eyebrow microblading is the ideal solution for fix patchy eyebrows.
What is eyebrow microblading?
In simple words, it is a type of semi-permanent tattoo. The eyebrow region is numbed after applying a gel topically, and tiny incisions are created with a fine blade needle. Into these incisions pigment is deposited to allow penetration at the topmost layer of the skin allowing your brows to look full. With microblading, you can say goodbye to patchy eyebrows. Well, at the very least until it lasts.
Is it permanent?
Before we take you through the finer details, let us bury the doubts. Microblading is not permanent. The pigment lasts around three years, after which it starts fading. This, however, enables you to change your style every few years. You can even alter your eyebrow shape and form during the follow-up sessions if the results are not up to the mark.
Here are a few things to remember before going for eyebrow micro blading.
Find the right technician
It is all about the artist. If your microblading technician is a pro, then that is most of the tricky parts dealt with. Look for a versatile technician with comfort in sculpting various designs and styles including the manicured look, messy, sparse, and natural. You will pay a fair amount for the procedure, so make sure you go for the best. Additionally, you can read user reviews and ask for recommendations from satisfied customers.
Keep in mind – you deserve the best
Eyebrows are a significant part of the face. So, it is all the more essential to take the utmost care with such feature changing procedures. Don't go for the cheaper option.
Will your skin type affect the final result?
Absolutely! You must understand how your skin type and tone will affect the mircroblading results. Individuals with sensitive skins are not suitable candidates. Sensitive skins develop inflammations and redness after the procedure. People with dry skin are perfect candidates for microblading as oily skin will result in patchy looking eyebrows.
About the skin tone
We touched on the topic of the skin tone in the previous section. If you have a darker skin tone, then the pigmented follicles will not be clearly visible. There won't be any stark difference for individuals with dark skin pigmentation.
Duration of the procedure
With the measuring, applying the topical numbing gel and pigment soaking, you are looking at a few hours. So, schedule your session accordingly. Your session will take around 2-4 hours. Additionally, keep in mind that the eyebrow area will be visibly red after the procedure. So, don't schedule any office meetings right after you get your eyebrows microbladed.
Also, a word of warning – eyebrow microblading will hurt a bit. Though it all depends on the sensitivity of the individual, it is still better to be prepared.
