Main questions about microblading
Let’s start at the beginning: what is microblading? It is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that can be applied to different areas of the face. In this case, we focus on its application on the eyebrows to improve shape, density, and definition.
It makes sense that it is part of a tattoo studio’s services because it is performed with a manual tool that incorporates small needles arranged in a leaf shape. This tool implants pigment into the skin’s superficial layer.
It differs from traditional tattoos because it creates very fine strokes that mimic natural hairs, achieving a very natural and realistic effect.
What is the process like?
Although it may vary slightly from studio to studio, the following steps should always be included. Of course, it is essential that it is done at a studio like ours, with all hygiene and professional guarantees.
5 common steps:
-
Initial consultation: We will evaluate your natural eyebrows, skin type, and expectations. We will discuss the shape you want and the pigment tone we will use.
-
Eyebrow design: We will make a sketch on your own eyebrows to define the ideal shape, based on your facial structure, symmetry, and preferences.
-
Pigmentation: Using the tool mentioned earlier, we will apply pigment mimicking natural eyebrow hair.
-
Review: We will check that the eyebrows are uniform and that we have achieved the level of definition you desire.
-
Touch-up: After 4–6 weeks, if necessary, we will do a touch-up to correct any areas where the pigment did not adhere properly.
Is it painful? How should I care for it?
The level of discomfort varies from person to person, but generally it is not painful and feels like small scratches. If needed, we can apply a numbing cream for more comfort.
To ensure proper healing and an optimal result, it is important to:
-
Avoid wetting your eyebrows for the first 7–10 days.
-
Avoid sun exposure and products containing acids or retinol on the area.
-
Do not scratch or pick at scabs, as this may remove pigment.
-
Apply a special cream according to the professional’s instructions.
How long does it last?
This depends on skin type, aftercare, and lifestyle:
-
On normal skin, it lasts 12–18 months.
-
On oily skin, it may be slightly shorter due to sebum production.
