Introduction to Microblading ☆
Eyebrow "tinting"
Microblading is a specialized form of tattoo artistry where pigment is implanted superficially into the upper layers of the skin using a handheld tool called a microblade. Unlike traditional tattooing, which uses a machine, microblading artists manually create each hairstroke to mimic natural eyebrow hairs. This results in finely detailed, realistic eyebrows that blend seamlessly with the client’s natural eyebrow hair color, texture, and growth pattern.
Duration and Process:
Microblading typically lasts 12-18 months before a touch-up may be needed. Over 1-3 years, the pigment gradually fades.
Procedure:
Microblading involves two sessions:
First Appointment: The artist profiles the client and draws the eyebrows using a waterproof pencil to agree on the desired look. An anesthetic cream is applied to numb the area for at least 20 minutes. Using a handheld tool with up to 12 small blades, EU and US certified pigments matching the client's natural color are meticulously applied in brush strokes resembling natural eyebrow hairs. Mild scabbing is normal, and aftercare is essential.
Second Appointment (Touch-Up): Scheduled 6-8 weeks after the first session, this allows the initial pigment to settle and any necessary adjustments to be made. The artist evaluates how the client’s skin has responded to the ink and makes corrections as needed. Adjusting color due to skin undertones is common and ensures optimal results tailored to each individual.
Microblading is a meticulous process that considers the unique characteristics of each client’s skin to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Microblading/Combo/Powder Brows Healing Process
Trust the process!
Immediate Post-Procedure Care:
Keep the Area Dry: For the first 24 hours after your procedure, avoid getting the treated area wet to allow the pigment to settle. This includes avoiding washing your face or showering directly on the area.
Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area to prevent introducing bacteria or disturbing the pigment.
Apply Aftercare Cream: Starting from the day after your procedure, gently apply a thin layer of the recommended aftercare cream or ointment provided by your artist. This helps keep the skin moisturized and aids in the healing process.
Days 2-7:
Gentle Cleansing: After the initial 24 hours, you can gently cleanse the area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and water. Pat dry with a clean towel or tissue—avoid rubbing.
Moisturize Regularly: Continue applying the aftercare cream or ointment as recommended by your artist, usually 2-3 times a day. This helps keep the skin hydrated and aids in the healing process.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and UV rays. If you must go out, apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher after the initial healing period.
Weeks 2-4:
Monitor Healing: Your cosmetic tattoo will go through stages of healing, including flaking and possibly slight fading of color. This is normal—do not pick at any scabs or flakes.
Avoid Excessive Moisture: During this time, continue to avoid activities that involve excessive moisture, such as swimming, saunas, or heavy sweating.
Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup directly on the treated area until it has fully healed. This helps prevent infection and ensures the pigment settles evenly.
Long-Term Care:
Follow-Up Appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your artist 4-6 weeks after your initial procedure. This allows for any necessary touch-ups and ensures your cosmetic tattoo looks its best.
Maintain with Sun Protection: After healing, continue to protect your cosmetic tattoo from fading by applying sunscreen daily and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
Regular Touch-Ups: Depending on your skin type and lifestyle, touch-up sessions may be needed every 1-2 years to maintain the vibrancy of your cosmetic tattoo.
Additional Tips:
Listen to Your Artist: Follow any specific instructions given by your cosmetic tattoo artist—they know best how to care for your specific procedure.
Patience is Key: Healing times can vary from person to person. Be patient and allow your body to naturally heal and rejuvenate the treated area.
By following these aftercare guidelines diligently, you'll ensure optimal results from your cosmetic tattoo and enjoy long-lasting enhancement of your natural beauty. If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, don’t hesitate to reach out to your artist—they’re here to support you every step of the way.
