Microblading
Defined and natural eyebrows
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique used to enhance and define the eyebrows. It involves the use of a manual tool with micro-needles to deposit pigment into the upper layer of the skin, creating fine strokes that mimic the natural hair of the eyebrows. This treatment is ideal for those who want fuller, more defined brows with a natural appearance.
Steps:
-
Initial Consultation – Evaluation and Design:
The first step is a consultation where the current shape and density of the eyebrows are evaluated. The client's preferences regarding shape, color, and style are discussed. A preliminary design is drawn with a pencil to ensure the final result meets expectations.
-
Preparation – Cleansing and Disinfection: The eyebrow area is cleansed to remove any residue. The skin is disinfected to prevent infections.
-
Application of Anesthetic: A topical numbing cream is applied to the area to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
4. Microblading: A manual tool with micro-needles is used to create small incisions in the epidermis. Pigment is applied into these incisions to mimic eyebrow hairs, resulting in a natural and detailed design.
5. Review and Adjustments: The design is reviewed and adjusted if necessary. The professional may apply additional pigment or refine the shape to achieve the desired result.
6. Aftercare: Aftercare instructions are provided to ensure proper healing of the eyebrows. This may include using special creams and recommendations on avoiding sun exposure and keeping the area clean.
