Eye Brows
Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyebrows, eyeliner and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids. Here at Shannon Aesthetic Spa, I use two methods combined. I love MicroBlading but equally love to incorporate MicroPowders as well. I find it makes the brows look more natural and fuller.
What is microblading the eyebrows?
Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a semi-permanent tattoo technique to achieve the appearance of fuller and precisely shaped eyebrows. Unlike a tattoo, microblading uses a manual, handheld tool with tiny needles at the end to create the shape of a small blade (a microblade).
How it works
Before the procedure, you'll receive a consultation during which you’ll discuss how natural or bold you want your eyebrows to look. I will analyze your natural eyebrow color, your skin tone and other facial features to determine what will best complement your face.
I will use an eyebrow pencil to create an outline of your desired brow shape. After cleaning and applying a numbing cream to the eyebrow area, I will dip the microblading tool into the pigment and make tiny cuts resembling eyebrow hairs within the natural brow.
Once I finish making strokes in the first eyebrow, I'll smear the pigment over the entire eyebrow and let it set while I repeat the process on the second eyebrow. When the entire process is done, I will remove the smeared pigment to reveal thicker, fuller, more precisely shaped eyebrows.
Healing time after microblading
It usually takes seven to 14 days for the pigment to settle into the outermost layer of skin and for that skin to heal. However, deeper layers of the epidermis continue rebuilding for several weeks after the procedure. For your healing process, you'll receive detailed instructions in a lovely After Care Kit, on how to care for your new eyebrows to get the best results.
After Care includes:
Avoid picking at or scratching the eyebrows as the skin scabs and flakes off. While the area may be itchy, scratching can make it susceptible to bacteria and infection, leading to scarring.
Keep the eyebrows dry, which means limiting exposure to sweat and water from the shower or swimming pool. Avoid sun exposure. Keep makeup, serums, moisturizers and other cosmetics off the eyebrows. Avoid facial scrubs or peels. Follow instructions in the kit please.
How long does microblading last?
While microblading is similar to a tattoo, the results are not permanent like a tattoo is. The fine lines made to create realistic results cause the pigment to fade over 1 to 3 years. The longevity of your results depends on your skin type, your lifestyle and how well you follow the post-procedural recommendations.
If you notice the pigment in your eyebrows fading (usually after a year), you can schedule a touch-up appointment. Touch-up sessions will add pigment to the outline of the brows you’ve already had microbladed. These sessions help the microblading stay fresh and are less expensive than a full session.
