You may have heard of microblading but don’t know what it does or how it works. Today I will talk to you about it, how it works, and the benefits of microblading.
What’s Microblading?
Microblading can be used to tattoo the eyebrows. Microblading creates the illusion of a fuller, more defined eyebrow.
Many people spend a lot time filling their eyebrows. Many people consider microblading permanent. Microblading is semi-permanent and can be adapted to changing eyebrow trends.
What does it mean?
Manual tattoos can be made using tiny, hair-like strokes, and pigment is then deposited onto the epidermal layers of the skin. To maintain the results, it is recommended that you have a touch-up every 1-2 years due to pigment fading.
What can you expect during your treatment?
The process of microblading can take as long as 2 hours. The artist will first measure the eyebrows and then draw the shape. Next, a numbing cream will be applied to the affected area. The artist will then create a natural-looking brow by making small hair-like strokes.
It is possible to use numbing cream, but it can be uncomfortable. Microblading can be completed within 10 days. Your newly created eyebrows will not get wet again. This makes it difficult to shower, wash your hair, or work out. I suggest that patients purchase microblading facial shields they can use in the bathroom. These are great for people who frequently wash their hair.
For the first few days, you can expect your new brows to be darker and bolder than before. After 4-5 days, flaking and scabbing may begin. These flakes and scabs should not be picked at. Picking at these spots can cause the pigment to be removed, leading to a loss of color.
It can take up to a month for the healing process to complete. The skin takes about 30 days to heal. The true color will be revealed after the 30-day mark. To make any adjustments, a touch-up appointment must be made six weeks after the original appointment.

What are the CONS of Microblading
Makeup removal can be very painful and expensive. It is possible to have allergic skin reactions. This is due to microblading side effects. Some skin types might not like the ink and numbing cream used.

Is microblading considered a tattoo?
Although microblading can be described as a type of tattoo, it is not permanent. Both types of tattoos have different inks. Traditional tattoos use more concentrated tattoo ink. Cosmetic tattoos use smaller pigment particles. They are also applied differently. The pigment is applied to the skin superficially (so that it eventually metabolizes and fades away). It is not placed in your skin’s deeper layers, which can make it permanent.
Microblading creates a semi-permanent “tattoo”, which looks subtle and softened by the pigment applied. The pigment on your eyebrows can lighten over time. A tattoo on your body may have a blue-green tint around the edges as it fades.
Who is a good candidate to microblade?
Microblading is not based on the number of brow hairs you have naturally. It’s more about your skin type. Are you sensitive and reactive? Are you suffering from keratosis Polaris? Are you currently or regularly dealing with acne or cystic acne on your forehead?
You may not be a good candidate for this job, as microblading can cause inflammation which can worsen skin conditions and slow down the healing process. Microblading can also fade quicker if you have oily skin.
Dr. Evans says that he warns patients against microblading if they have sensitive or allergic skin. Microblading can cause a scaly, itchy, and cracked rash. If you react to your appointment, consult your dermatologist immediately. They can prescribe a steroid that will reduce symptoms and prevent any damage to your tattoo. Next, call your cosmetic tattoo artist to inform them about your reaction.
