Eyebrows are an important detail of the human face. They convey emotion and mood. Therefore, their appearance and grooming is important for a person.

So how do you fix your eyebrows?
Fortunately, cosmetology has stepped forward and the daily make-up is not worth worrying about. In its place came the technology that helps to eliminate the lack of thickness and color, the irregular shape of the eyebrows from nature.
This technique is called microblading. About how it is done, the timing of the action, the care of the eyebrows after the procedure will be told below.
From the history...
About how to make beautifully shaped eyebrows, women thought a long time ago, back in ancient Egypt. They manually injected pigment dye under the skin by dissection. Then a special machine was invented to replace the painful procedure. But such a machine didn't make the eyebrows look natural.
Then again there was a return to the manual operation. All this was already on a decent, more advanced level, with a fashionable name "microblading. And so began the triumphant development and perfection of this technique.
How is microblading done?
The word microblading itself consists of two bases: "micro" - small, "blade" - blade, and reveals the essence of this operation.
- The master draws the correct shape.
- With the help of nano-needles, micro cuts are made. They resemble hairs.
- A pigment is hammered into the upper layer of the epidermis at a depth of about 0.2 mm.
- The dye gives a natural appearance. It saves time by eliminating daily touch-ups with pencils and eyeliners. How long does the pigment color the eyebrows? About a year and a half to two years!
Care of the eyebrows after the treatment
- After the permanent make-up procedure, there is swelling and slight swelling of the eyebrows.
- After a few hours the redness will disappear, but since micropigmentation is a small operation, it is worth taking care of the lesions.
- It is worth wiping the sore spots with chlorhexidine to disinfect them. Do it regularly, following the recommendations of the master. This is especially true during the first 24 hours, when the lymph is secreted. The emergence of crusts will lead to the release of pigment.
- Then lubricate the lesions twice a day with ointments that disinfect microcuts. These are Traumel or Solcoseryl.
- Wash carefully, gently blotting the face, avoiding trauma to the eyebrow area.
- In the second week a crust will appear in the damaged areas, which will gradually fall off. Pigment will appear, but it will not be bright.
- In about a month you should make a correction, then the dye will be even and natural.
- During this period, to maintain the effect it is necessary to avoid sun exposure and cosmetics.
Microblading techniques
Hair technique
A specialist introduces pigment with strokes. Everything looks very natural, lush and neat. Such a technique is urgent when filling the volume or changing the shape of the eyebrows.
Shotting .
During the procedure, the master uses several shades of paint. The tip of the simulated hair is dark, and the color is lighter at the base. As a result, the eyebrows have a soft contour, slightly blurred.
Powder spraying.
This introduction of the dye is more spotty, it is not easy to see the padding. But from afar, everything has clear borders and a good saturated color. Such a procedure is more suitable for people with sensitive or oily skin.
The technique of dyeing is chosen depending on what color hair and skin the client has, how sensitive she is.
It is obligatory to test dyes for allergies before manipulations. At the same time a small amount of dye is applied to the elbow. If the skin is red, it is better not to do permanent make-up.
What is the difference between microblading and tattooing?
It is not necessary to mix these two concepts, there are significant differences between them.
- Microblading refers to the pigmentation of the skin with the help of needles by hand, which are in a special tool. Tattooing is done with the help of a tattoo machine.
- In tattooing, the depth of penetration of the dye is up to 2 mm. This can be the area of the eyebrows, but not the lips and eyelids. Dye penetration in the case of microblading is at a shallower depth, approximately 0, 5 mm. The skin on the face is soft and pigmentation occurs in the layers between the epidermis and the dermis in the areas of the eyelids, eyebrows and lips.
- Dyes in the tattoo have an alcohol base and penetrate the skin better, retaining their color for a long time. Micropigmentation is carried out with dyes on glycerine. They are natural and it is necessary to know their peculiarities, in order to get the required color. The master must take this into account, otherwise customer feedback can be negative when providing the service.
- The tattoo procedure is painful, it can leave scars, and it is sometimes anesthetized. A slight tingling sensation is felt during permanent makeup. Manipulation is almost painless.
Contraindications for microblading
