Everything You Need to Know About Microblading

All about that brow power, or should we say, power brow for 2018. While it’s near impossible to regrow our brow hairs after so much tweezing, plucking, threading, waxing, and more, with microblading as the number one alternative treatment to give us a power brow look, we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results.

Are you considering microblading?

For those that are still hesitant to the thought of a semi-permanent tattoo on your face, don’t worry, we get it. At first it sounds scary, but in reality, you don’t need to be worried at all.We’ve all seen those horror stories and the glossy magazines weigh in every other day with a why you should or why you should be worried, but we all know those worrisome articles are to keep you reading. Most of the beauty industry professionals have already taken the plunge of enhancing their all-natural brow beauty to the next level.

What about all those semi-permanent brow stories that went wrong?

Anytime you read those horror stories circulating on occasion, if you read further into the article, you’ll find that the customer went to someone that didn’t use best practices and health safety routines. Most of the time, the victim of a bad microblading session went to someone offering the treatment for unbelievably low prices and they were operating out of their home with no official training.Microblading, just like any beauty treatment, isn’t free and with a price so low, you probably should be asking for credentials. Plus, you never, EVER want to get a microblading treatment out of someone’s living room or home restroom. You’re simply asking for a bad reaction.For those that went to certified salons and still suffered a bad reaction, it’s because the artist did not follow standard procedures asking you disclose any allergies and the customer likely didn’t follow the pre- and post-care requirements.

What you need to know before your first microblading session.

Above, we noted that there are pre- and post-care requirements. Yes, you do need to speak with your microblading artist and ensure you’re an ideal candidate to receive microblading. Your artist, once confirming your eligibility, will then provide you with a list of do’s and dont’s prior to your first appointment.Before you go to the appointment, you will want to note that there is healing time, meaning, don’t book your appointment the day before your wedding or a scuba-diving trip to Belize. Just like anything from Botox to a dermatology face peel, you need to care for yourself following the appointment to get the best results.

Is it a one and done treatment?

Most individuals find that they need to go back a few times in order to get the best look and feel for their brows. However, each individual appointment is specialized to skin type, pigmentation needs, tolerance level and more.Well-trained microblading artists know that you are likely to require follow-up appointments, which is why any reputable artist provides a significantly lower price the next few times around.

Does it hurt?

Just like anything, pain tolerance is completely subjective. The majority of individuals receiving microbladed brows don’t find the treatment painful at all. In fact, some note it is sort of a temporary irritant, but that with the proper numbing gel you really don’t feel pain.Besides, when you look in the mirror after your first beauty treatment and microblading appointment, you’ll be hooked.
