Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure that is carried out by a qualified technician using a specialist hand-tool which holds disposable microblades. The required pigment is deposited into the epidermis of the skin with the disposable microblade which allows the technician to create hair strokes which look like natural eyebrow hair. How does it differ from semi permanent tattooing? Microblading differs from conventional semi-permanent tattooing by the very fact that it is a manual procedure. When using a hand held micro blade, the colour is deposited closer to the surface than when a machine is used leaving very fine hair strokes with no spilling under the skin. Who can have Microblading? With all semi-permanent makeup procedures it is the practitioner’s responsibility to make sure that there are no contraindications to treatment. If there is a medical condition the clinic doctor will be consulted prior to treatment. How long does the pigmentation last? Microblading tends to last between 4-14 months and after this period of time may need a colour boost or refresh. Does it hurt? Like all semi-permanent procedures microblading will require a topical anaesthetic which can be topped up throughout the procedure making it relatively painless.
