Even if you have not heard of the term microblading, you have likely come across eyebrow tattoos. Microblading is a newer technique that has become popular in the beauty industry, but many people are still unsure of what it involves. Below are some of the most common questions and answers about the procedure.
Table of Contents
What exactly is microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow procedure where fine, hair-like strokes are created using a nano blade. This gives the brows a natural look that mimics real hair. It is recommended for individuals who want to enhance sparse, uneven, or poorly shaped eyebrows. Results typically last from one year up to five years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
What are the pre- and post-care procedures?
Before the session, there is no special preparation aside from making sure the brows are clean. After the procedure, proper care is important to ensure good healing.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for the first 48 hours.
- Avoid sauna, exercise, and activities that cause sweating.
- Apply the repair cream at least twice a day for five days to keep the brows moist.
How much does it cost?
- Basic microblading starts at ₱30,000.
- Brow correction, which is recommended for those with old or traditional eyebrow tattoos, starts at ₱50,000.
How long does it last?
Microblading lasts one to five years. Fading is natural and allows brows to be reshaped based on changes in facial features over time.
What is the difference between eyebrow tattoos and microblading?
- Eyebrow tattoos use pigments or inks that often contain heavy metals. The technique relies on shading, and the results are permanent. Over time, the color may turn green or blue.
- Microblading uses organic pigments that fade naturally. This fading makes it possible to redesign brows every few years, which is helpful since facial features change with age.
How long does it take to heal?
The healing process takes around 28 to 30 days.
Is a touch-up session necessary?
Yes. A touch-up is required one month after the first treatment, and it is included in the package. Afterward, maintenance sessions can be done at least once a year to refresh the brows.
Who is not suitable for the procedure?
Microblading is not recommended for:
- People with diabetes
- Pregnant women
- Individuals with skin diseases
- People prone to keloids
How long does the procedure take?
A session takes roughly two hours, including consultation, shaping, and the procedure itself.
How is the eyebrow shape chosen?
The technician designs the brows based on your natural facial features and your preferences.
How is the pigment color chosen?
The pigment is selected to match your natural hair color and skin tone, while also considering your preference.
What type of pigments are used?
Hallyu Secret Aesthetics uses Korean-brand pigments specifically designed for micropigmentation.
How should one prepare for the treatment?
- Avoid alcohol the day before the procedure.
- Menstruating clients may still undergo the treatment, but slight bleeding may occur since the body is more sensitive at this time.
Are there risks and complications?
Like any cosmetic procedure, risks exist. Since microblading uses a nano blade, infection is possible if the technician does not follow proper sanitation or if the client neglects aftercare. Choosing a trained professional greatly reduces these risks.
