Training

As the cosmetic industry evolves, people keep looking for new ways of improving their appearance. Those who find such methods as eyelash extensions or tinting too short-term often resort to more permanent solutions, including permanent makeup. Treatments such as microblading might work wonders in situations where no other procedure was able to help, creating gorgeous eyelashes that can last for years.

Many women regularly visit their stylists to shape and regulate their eyebrows. Shaping, however, is a very short-lasting treatment, requiring another visit every couple of weeks. Permanent makeup on the other hand offers gorgeous effects that stay visible for many months, creating a glamorous look that doesn’t require difficult maintenance or additional cosmetics to look stunning.

What is eyebrow microblading?

While shaping and tinting are easy to accomplish even at home, microblading is a more advanced technique of eyebrow enhancement. This innovative treatment offers gorgeous results that can last for over a year, providing beautiful effects for everyone to see. Another upside of the treatment is that your clients will no longer have to resort to a pair of tweezers and a pencil to keep their brows in good condition, as the effects of microblading do not require much maintenance and do not need makeup to look good, even though it can be used to enhance the effects.

The results of microblading can be highly customized, allowing each and every client to leave your salon happy with their results. The treatment is similar to how tattoos are made, introducing a professional pigment into the outer layers of the skin. The pigment is injected using a special microblading pen with tiny needles that make delicate incisions on the skin of the eyebrows. Using the pen, a stylist makes gentle hair strokes on the skin, which mimic natural eyebrows almost perfectly.

Is microblading invasive?

Just like other methods of permanent makeup, microblading is an invasive procedure and requires proper certification to provide it to clients. Only stylists and aestheticians who are properly licensed may offer microblading treatments in their salons. Since incisions need to be made in order to introduce the pigment into the skin, utmost care should always be taken to make the treatment safe. With proper precautions and professional tools and equipment, the treatment is fully safe and can produce absolutely stunning results.

However, just because microblading is an invasive procedure does not mean that it isn’t safe. In the hands of an experienced and skilled stylist, a microblading pen becomes a wonderful tool that can really create wondrous arches. The treatment might be a little painful, even though the needles are very fine and only penetrate the outermost layers of the skin, but the pain can be easily counteracted with the use of a numbing gel or cream. If you want your patient to have a comfortable treatment, always use some kind of numbing agent before you begin. You should also carefully pay attention to the numbing gel you use, as low-quality products might not reduce the pain enough to make the treatment comfortable, which will then translate into poor customer satisfaction.

How long do the effects of microblading last?

The longevity of the effects of microblading depends on a variety of factors - most often, the effects of microblading last around a year and a half, but the exact length can range from 12 months to 30 months, depending on the products and technique used. Be aware that the effects won’t show immediately after the procedure - inform your client of that so that they aren’t scared of what they see at home. At first, there will be a lot of redness and irritation, as the skin still didn’t have time to heal properly. The first results will start showing after 24 to 48 hours, and the effects will often fully normalize after about two weeks.

The treatment itself might also last a bit longer than you’re used to. As the treatment requires a very careful and steady hand, it is provided slowly to avoid any mistakes that your client would be stuck with for years. The specific time of the treatment varies based on the client’s expectations and the condition of their eyebrows. An experienced professional with high-quality tools and supplies should be able to finish the treatment in around an hour and a half.
