Welcome to the latest eyebrow trend, microblading, a semi-permanent technique using a super-fine pen of 12 to 15 needles which deposits pigment into the skin. The needles of the pen reach only into the superficial layers of the skin and creates hair strokes that looks real.
Although the procedure itself is painful, precautions should be taken before deciding to get this procedure done. Consequently, the cost of the procedure can be expensive depending on which salon the client chooses to go to. Prices typically start at an estimated $425 and up for this cosmetic procedure but this does not include the cost of the required follow-up appointments for touch-ups. As of recently, microblading mishaps and its side effects have begun to appear online, ranging from unflattering shapes and faded tinting to scarring and infection. Because of its increased popularity, many under-qualified practitioners are quickly taught the technique in order to keep up with the demand. In fact, many clients are told that microblading is not a tattoo when in fact this is not true.
Microblading is possibly one of the oldest forms of tattooing dating back to 2000 years and if done correctly, the pigmentation sits on the epidermis layer and will fade within 6 months. If the end result of your brow shape is unflattering before they begin to fade there is always the option of consulting with your specialist recreate a new look or have the pigmentation removed. Microblading eyebrow removal is relatively easy compared to other forms of tattooing. Generally a couple of laser treatments is enough to fade the area by 60%. If the pigmentation is deeper than the epidermis layer then the tattoo is permanent and will become very difficult to remove.
