Microblading: The New Celebrity Trend You May Want To Consider

You have probably noticed the term “microblading,” if you are up to date on celebrity and beauty trends. However, what exactly is this eyebrow trend, and do you require it? We shall provide you with all the details.

What Is Microblading?

Microblading is a type of semi-permanent tattoo that provides you with eyebrows you have always dreamed about. In this procedure, the eyebrow artist will deposit pigment into your skin manually with the help of a “pen” tool, containing wonderful needles, known as microneedles. The term “microblade” is derived from these microneedles. This tool creates extremely thin and hair like strokes that look like real hair and blend naturally.

How To Get This Procedure Done

Most studios offer consultation, and they deduct the consultation charges from the microblading procedure if you get it done by them. The eyebrow artist will talk with you to understand what you want to achieve and will map out your brows to determine what shape and size gel best with your face. Before using the pen, they will stencil your new brows, so that you can understand how your eyebrows will look like post procedure.

The time for the initial procedure is between 1.5 to 2 hours. If necessary, the artist will conduct a touch up five to six weeks later, to ensure that your brows look precisely as you want them to be.

Does It Hurt?

To make you feel comfortable and to ensure that you do not feel any pain, the artist usually applies a topical numbing agent. Remember to ask the specialist about this as you might have to visit their studio 15 to 20 minutes before the appointment to get the numbing cream applied. Ensure that you ask about the anesthetic cream if the technician does not mention it.

Is There Any Downtime Following The Procedure?

As most people go about their routine after they step out of the salon, you too should not experience any severe discomfort.

The treated area might be slightly itchy and feel sunburned, but the discomfort level in minimal. Do not panic if your brows become slightly darker than they will be following 2 to 3 weeks after the initial appointment.

It takes a little over a month for the healing process. You should avoid artificial or natural tanning, using the sauna, excessive sweating, laser, or chemical treatments, and swim for 14 days following the microblading procedure. Also, avoid areas containing lots of dust. Do not touch the eyebrows area. You should not peel, pick, or scratch any scabs that form. Your eyebrow artist should provide you with a list of things you should avoid.

For long-term care, most eyebrow specialists will recommend you to apply SPF30 lotion to protect the sensitive skin around your new eyebrows and your face.

How Long Does Eyebrow Microblading Last?

The eyebrow tattoo is semi-permanent as the artist uses pigment instead of ink. However, this procedure lasts for 1.5 to 2 years before they require a touch-up. Results may vary depending on your skin type.

How Much Does Microblading Cost?

Expect to pay more than $500 for this process. It is quite common for salons to ask you to deposit your appointment.
