Eyebrow Microblading
Eyebrow microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique that involves creating hair-like strokes to enhance and shape the eyebrows. It is done using a handheld tool with small needles that deposit pigment into the skin.
Anyone who wants to enhance their eyebrows, fill in sparse areas, or create a new shape is a good candidate for eyebrow microblading. It is especially helpful for those with thin or over-plucked eyebrows.
The initial microblading appointment typically takes around 2-3 hours. This includes a consultation, shaping and drawing the brows, numbing the area, and the microblading procedure itself.
The level of discomfort varies from person to person. Numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize pain, but some clients may still feel some discomfort during the process.
Eyebrow microblading typically lasts 1-2 years, but this can vary depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits.
It is recommended to avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medication for 24 hours before the appointment. It is also recommended to avoid waxing, threading, or plucking the eyebrows for at least a week prior to the appointment.
After the procedure, clients should avoid getting the area wet for at least 24 hours and avoid sun exposure, swimming, and sweating for at least a week. It is also important to apply a healing balm to the area several times a day and avoid picking or scratching the area as it heals.
Right after the procedure, the pigment may look dark and sharp because it hasn’t settled in yet. Over time, the color will become softer. If you notice pigment on the cotton swab, it’s normal because it’s just extra pigment and fluids leaving your skin.
As your skin heals, it may flake or appear dry, which might make it seem like the color is fading too quickly. However, this is just the outer layer of skin and superficial color coming off naturally.
Once fully healed, it’s important to apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 to 50 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Exposure to the sun can cause the pigment to fade more quickly.
The cost of eyebrow microblading can vary depending on the location and the experience of the technician. At Aesthetic Beauty Care Laser Cosmetic Spa, the cost for eyebrow microblading is $???.
Yes, a touch-up appointment is typically scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial appointment to ensure that the eyebrows heal properly and to fill in any areas where the pigment did not take.
