Microblading Treatment

Microblading for the eyebrows is a semi-permanent procedure whereby tiny needles create scratches and deposit colorful pigment in the skin to provide the look of fuller brows, similar to the eyebrow tattooing process. Microblading is also used on the hairline and scalp with pigment that emulates the look of real hair.

What is Microblading for the Eyebrows, Scalp, and Hairline?

Microblading has grown into such a popular procedure that more than 5.3 million posts on Instagram use the hashtag #microblading. More commonly performed on the eyebrows, microblading for the hairline and scalp is also a growing trend seen on Instagram. So what exactly is microblading and how can the semi-permanent makeup technique help people look better as well as appear healthier and more youthful?

Microblading is a semi-permanent way that technicians transform sparse eyebrows, scalps, and hairlines by making them appear thicker and fuller with fine hairstrokes that mimic the natural look of a plentiful amount of hair. When model and actress Cara Delevingne burst onto the scene with her signature lush and full brows as her most prominent facial feature, the star’s bushy brow area created a big demand for thick eyebrow hairs from both men and women seeking methods to make their eyebrows look better. Social media trends have made fashionistas want to toss their brow gels and get their eyebrows microbladed instead.

There are two main methods of microblading. One involves using a hand-held tool to create little scratches on the surface of the skin as the pigment is applied to the scratches and surrounding skin to copy the random, sweeping patterns of natural hairs. The second microblading procedure uses a motorized electric pen tool, which drives the color deeper into the dermis, helping the pigment to remain for a longer period.

The microblading technician next allows the pigment to sit for a while before wiping off the excess color. Based on the method used, microblading sessions may last from 30 minutes up to three hours for the initial session.

The Pros and Cons of Microblading

Microblading fans love the way the process provides fuller eyebrows, fixes uneven brows and requires no daily eyebrow makeup to maintain the look of darker eyebrows. The results from a positive microblading session can greatly improve the countenance of someone who has suffered from thin to non-existent brows or hairlines, which can reveal a youthful appearance and increase self-esteem.

The cons of microblading treatments gone wrong to include the possibility of infections or allergic reactions to the pigment. Those inexperienced with the microblading technique can create mismatched brows with little asymmetry. Microblading is a temporary process that requires multiple sessions because of the pigment fades. Scabbing can occur after microblading.

Microblading Aftercare, Healing and Recovery

The healing process after your microblading treatment involves keeping the treated area clean and dry. Sweat, sebum, and water on the microbladed section can cause the wounds to swell, expand and scar, therefore the liquids should be minimized. Those with dry and oily skin should take special care to use skin-care products that won’t aggravate the new hair-like strokes as the skin heals.

One week following microblading, the face and scalp can be washed as normal based on the skin type. Care should be taken not to scratch the microbladed skin until the area has healed, which can take up to four weeks.
