MICROBLADING
Microblading is a type of eyebrow architecture. It is all about creating the best shape for each face – a totally bespoke approach for each client.
Microblading, unlike tattooing, is not in the deep layer of skin, but more on the surface. This is also not permanent, and the colour fades within 18 months.
The hair strokes are far more natural and finer than any tattoo, as a handheld needle/blade is used – there is no electrical gadget that permeates deep in this technique. There is, therefore, more of a scratching noise, rather than a buzz of a tattoo gun which pierces the skin so deeply.
Microblading lasts anything between 12-18 months, but the longevity of the pigment will depend on your skin type.
People with slightly more oily skin will tend to last around the 12-month mark before needing a top-up, but those with normal skin can last up to 18 months. ‘Your brows will eventually fade away if you don’t continue with top-ups every 18 months or so.
There is no scaring or discolouration with the pigments used, so you wouldn’t know if you left them to fade out.
