Our perception of sound is directly related to the physical properties of sound waves (see Figure 3.7). One of the ï¬ rst things that we notice about a sound is how loud it is. Loudness is determined by the intensity, or amplitude, of a sound wave and is measured in units called decibels. Zero decibels represents the loudness of the softest sound that humans can hear, or the absolute threshold for hearing. As decibels increase, per-ceived loudness increases. Pitch refers to the relative âhighnessâ or âlownessâ of a sound. Pitch is determined by the frequency of a sound wave. Frequency refers to the rate of vibration, or number of waves per second, and is measured in units called hertz. Hertz simply refers to the num- ber of wave peaks per second.
Itching is a good sign as it means the skin is healing. The complete healing process for microbladed eyebrows typically takes six weeks and then a touch up appointment follows. The touch up appointment is scheduled during the initial microblading appointment for six to ten weeks later.
But getting brows on fleek doesn't come easy. As the name suggests, microblading uses a very small blade to deposit pigment under the skin, giving the appearance of hair. It can be used by those who want to toss their eyebrow pencil, or it can be used in more extreme cases such as for patients with hair loss. The procedure can cost anywhere from $600 to $1200 and takes about an hour and a half to two hours, experts told Mic. Microblading isn't actually permanent; it lasts about a year.
