Who Microblading is for People who don't have eyebrows due to any kind of dermatological or other illness; People who are losing their eyebrows for some reason; People who have few eyebrows because they've had too many for many years; People who want to give their eyebrows a different look: sexier, bolder, more sensual... Who Microblading is not for People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who suffer from diabetes; People who are taking anticoagulants should consult their doctor before having this procedure. History Microblading was born at the beginning of the 19th century, when Tebori was used to make hand tattoos. This Tebori is made up of several micro-needles superimposed side by side, which together form a kind of blade. This was a traditional Japanese art. The term Tebori means in Japanese: Te - hand and Hori - to carve or inscribe. This technique was brought to the present day to draw eyebrows thread by thread, and was given the name microblading. What is the process like? To carry out microblading, Tebori is used to design the eyebrow thread by thread, so that it looks as natural as possible. Small cuts are made in the skin, fixing the pigment to the epidermis. Generally, depending on the professional, an anaesthetic cream is used to reduce the sensation of pain. The procedure takes around 1.5 hours and a touch-up is necessary after 1 month, as the pigment used can be expelled by the body or even change colour during this period. It is therefore normal that during this period the eyebrow may have some flaws or may change colour. This procedure lasts a maximum of 2 years Diagnosis and follow-up of the client In this topic we will specifically explain the diagnosis and follow-up of the client that we carry out in our parlours. It's normal for other spaces to be different. On the day of the appointment, we carry out a pre-diagnosis of the person's face and check what effect they want. Generally, we always suggest the most natural effect possible, following the lines on the face and the eyebrows the person already has. After the diagnosis we design the eyebrow with a pen, so that the client can see where we are going to fill in. After the client's approval, we proceed with the microblading. Post-procedure There are some issues that must be taken into account in the post-procedure phase so that the pigment used in the microblading sets properly and the effect lasts. To have perfect eyebrows, after the procedure you should use a specific regenerating cream for the following month. It should be applied several times a day (4 or 5 times or more) to leave the skin as moisturised as possible. We recommend Post Treat Ointment by Arkana, which is available for sale in our salons. The following month, it's also normal to experience some itching of the eyebrows, but it's not advisable to scratch or pull off the small scabs that form. It's also not advisable to wear make-up for at least the first week, or to wash your face with very hot water. Differences between microblading, micropigmentation and permanent make-up Microblading is a completely manual process in which the eyebrow is drawn thread by thread using a Tebori. It leaves a very natural look and is almost unnoticeable. Micropigmentation is a process also carried out on the eyebrow, in which the pigment is fixed with the help of a demographer (an electric device), which in my view makes for a heavier line and less precision. Permanent make-up is a process similar to a tattoo, which makes the process truly definitive. Which process is best? The answer isn't obvious, but in my opinion microblading is the most recommended procedure because it's completely manual, leaving your eyebrows perfect. Who can do this procedure? This procedure should be carried out by a trained and highly experienced professional, as it is a process where mistakes are not allowed. Any small mistake can completely alter the features of a face. In addition, the hygiene and safety rules stipulated for this type of procedure must be followed: new, sterilised blades, gloves, face mask, etc. So if you're looking to have microblading done, look for someone with proven experience!
