Microblading Eyebrows
Microblading is a special form of semi-permanent makeup that is performed with a hand tool. It’s an extremely natural eyebrow reconstruction technique that is applied without a machine. It also may be used to restore the eyebrow shape, when there are almost no natural eyebrow hairs left or they are extremely thin. The effect of drawn hair strokes identical to natural ones following the hair growth using pigments in several shades is achieved to look exactly like real eyebrows. The technique is most suitable for customers that want perfect, almost visible results. A top-up is applied 6 weeks after the first treatment which takes 2 weeks to heal. Microblading lasts from 6 months to 18 months or forever with refresher top-ups.
Eyebrow microblading goes by a few different names like microstroking, micro pigmentation, eyebrow embroidery, eyebrow feathering, and 3D eyebrows. No matter the name, the procedure of microblading eyebrows is relatively new here, but it has been popular in parts of Asia and Europe for roughly 25 years. Microblading eyebrows continue to grow in popularity in the United Kingdom, and even though it looks like the party might have arrived a little late here, it’s actually a good thing as it has allowed the techniques to improve since its origin.

Microblading Vs Permanent Makeup
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo, however, microbladed eyebrows are nothing like grandma’s permanent tattooed eyebrows that sort of look like they were drawn on using a sharpie and then fade into unnatural shades of blue and pink over time. We’re definitely not talking about grandma’s eyebrows.
There are two major differences that make microblading more natural-looking compared to the results permanent cosmetics are known for.
First, the type of pigment used for microblading has an iron oxide base. Iron oxide has been a popular ingredient in cosmetics like foundation, blush, lipstick, and eye shadow for decades. An iron oxide base allows the colour to softly fade over time and ultimately vanish, unlike the inks used in permanent cosmetic tattoos.
The pigment being implanted to the correct depth, combined with its iron oxide base is what gives microblading results the appearance of natural-looking eyebrows. The semi-permanent qualities of the microblading pigment prevent it from fading into unnatural shades that are so common with permanent cosmetics.
