Contouring your eyebrows and making them look even with makeup can be a hassle and time-consuming every time you go out. 

If you’re looking for a semi-permanent and effective solution that can save you from uneven eyebrows without spending hours at your vanity table, microblading might be ideal for you. 

Read on to learn everything you need to know about Microblading!

What Is Microblading?

Microblading is an eyebrow tattooing procedure that makes your eyebrows look fuller, thicker, and more symmetrical. 

The procedure is simple and is carried out with a handheld tool containing 10-12 tiny needles at the end. The needles don’t penetrate the skin. Instead, they just scratch the epidermis, which is the topmost layer of your skin. The needles add very fine hair-like strokes of pigment to those scratches, creating the illusion of natural-looking eyebrows. 

Since the procedure requires extreme detailing, it can take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour to complete. However, microblading doesn’t require any downtime and you can get back to your daily routine (following certain aftercare instructions, of course) once you’re done. 

Benefits Of Microblading

Microblading is a comparatively new procedure. However, it has gained massive popularity recently due to its benefits, which include:

• The hair-like strokes look exactly like real eyebrows and make it almost impossible to differentiate from the real hairs, even up close.
• The process is non-invasive and relatively painless, as compared to eyebrow tattoos.
• Microbladed brows are not permanent and the ink will fade on its own over the course of 2  to 3 years.
• It is safe for all skin tones and types

How Soon Can You See The Results?

One of the best things about Microblading is its immediate results. You should be able to see initial results, such as an enhanced shape and arch of your brows almost immediately. However, complete results can take 4 to 6 weeks to appear. 

It is important to remember that your brows might seem a little darker at first, but the pigment usually fades in a few weeks, resulting in a more natural look. 

What Can You Do To Ensure Better Results?

Here are a few things you can do in the first few days post-treatment to ensure that you get the best results:

• Avoid scratching the treated area as it can cause scarring and irritate the skin further.
• Avoid getting your brows wet as it can cause the ink to bleed.
• Avoid strenuous workouts and excessive sweating that can lead to the ink bleeding.

Is Microblading Permanent?

No.

Unlike eyebrow tattooing, microbladed eyebrows are not permanent, and the results usually fade within 2 to 3 years depending on your sun exposure and the skincare products that you use. 

However, if you’re unhappy with the results you can:

•  Use retinol products on the forehead area to make the ink fade faster. 
• Get tattoo removal procedures or chemical peels to get rid of them.

Thicker and fuller eyebrows not only make your face look more symmetrical, but they also bring out your eyes. With Microblading – a semi-permanent yet natural-looking treatment to make your brows look fuller – you can achieve that in next to no time.
