What is Microblading & how does it work?

​

Microblading originates from Asia. It is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that is carried out by a qualified technician, using a hand held tool made up of tiny fine needles configured into a blade shape to deposit hair like strokes of pigment into the top layers of skin, the epidermis. The feathering technique of hair strokes are fine and crisp and look like natural eyebrow hairs.

 

How does it differ from semi permanent tattooed makeup?

​

Microblading is a manual eyebrow tattoo procedure where the colour is deposited closer to the surface of the skin than when using a machine. The microblade is several times thinner than the needle used for machine eyebrow tattooing  with the pigment remaining crisp without blurring into the skin.

 

How long does it last?

 

Having your eyebrows microbladed is a semi permanent procedure. Colour boost top ups are required every 12 months+ to maintain the brows. Various lifestyle factors influence colour durability e.g. skin type, exposure to the sun, facial treatments that regenerate the skin etc.

Initially the brows appear darker but fade significantly over a 2 weeks period whilst healing. It is crucial to have a touch up (which is included in the price) between 8-12 weeks after the initial procedure as it is very difficult to predict how the skin will retain the pigment.

 

Does it hurt?

​

A topical anaesthetic cream is used prior to the procedure which can be topped up throughout making it relatively painless.
