WHAT IS MICROBLADING ?

Microblading, also known as micro needling or eyebrow embroidery, is a semi-permanent tattoo that creates hair-like strokes with the use of a manual pen containing very small needles. These needles implant pigment into the basal layer (bottom layer) of the epidermis. Here are some other common questions:

How long does microblading last?

The results of microblading vary by client and can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. Various factors can determine how well the pigment will retain – such as amount of pigment implanted, the client’s skin-type, immediate aftercare, the client’s skin care regimen and medical history.

Who is a candidate for microblading?

One common misconception about microblading is that it is only for individuals that have severe hair loss. Although these clients can benefit from the service immensely, anyone looking to add depth and color will find great value in microblading. It’s also a great choice for those wanting to correct their brow shape after years of follicle damage from various epilation methods.

Why is microblading only semi-permanent?

Traditional methods of permanent makeup consists of implanting pigment to the dermis. The dermis is live skin made up of blood vessels, sebaceous glands, sweat glands and nerves. Since this layer of skin is alive, it usually retains pigments permanently. In microblading, pigment is deposited right above the dermis into the basal layer of the epidermis. Because the cells of the basal layer continuously divide, the pigment is then broken down and eventually migrates to the surface causing the pigment to fade away.
