Description

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique used to enhance or reconstruct eyebrows. It’s especially popular among people with sparse, thinning, or uneven brows, including those who’ve lost brow hair due to aging, over-plucking, or medical conditions like alopecia. 🔍 What Is Microblading? Involves using a manual handheld tool with fine needles to create hair-like strokes on the skin. Pigment is implanted into the upper dermis, mimicking natural eyebrow hairs. Results look more realistic than traditional eyebrow tattoos. ⏱️ How Long Does It Last? Typically 12–24 months, depending on: Skin type (oily skin fades faster) Sun exposure Skincare routine Pigment color used Touch-ups are often needed 4–6 weeks after the first session and then annually. ✅ Who’s a Good Candidate? People with sparse, patchy, or overplucked brows Those with hair loss due to medical issues (e.g., alopecia, chemotherapy) People wanting a natural-looking brow shape Not ideal for: Very oily or sensitive skin (can blur strokes) Pregnant or breastfeeding women Individuals with certain skin conditions (e.g., eczema, psoriasis on the brow area) ⚠️ Risks and Side Effects Infection if not done in a sterile environment Allergic reaction to pigment Scarring or keloid formation Color may fade to an undesired tone over time (e.g., reddish or bluish tint) Uneven results if not done by a skilled technician 💲 Cost Varies by location and expertise: typically $300–$800 Touch-ups may cost extra 🧼 Aftercare Avoid sweating, makeup, water, and sun exposure on the brows for 7–10 days Don’t pick at scabs Apply healing balm as directed 🧑‍🎨 Choosing a Technician Look for certified, experienced professionals Ask to see a portfolio of previous work Ensure tools are sterile and single-use ✏️ Alternatives to Microblading Technique Description Longevity Microshading Uses dots instead of strokes; softer look 1–2 years Powder Brows Airbrushed makeup effect 1–3 years Combination Brows Microblading + Shading 1–2 years Henna Brows Temporary skin tint 1–2 weeks
