What Is Microblading?

What Are The Benefits Of It?

The primary benefit of microblading is it gives you realistic looking eyebrow hairs. It can be used to slightly alter the shape or elongate the eyebrows. If you have any gaps in your eyebrows, microblading can fill it in. Unlike traditional forms of eyebrow tattooing, microblading is softer and more subtle looking. The result is eyebrows that look a little fuller and thicker than your natural brows, so you do not have to spend a lot of time applying makeup to the area. Another one of the benefits of it is microblading is not entirely permanent. Over the course of a few years, the effects will fade. This is nice because eyebrow trends tend to come and go, so you do not have to worry about being stuck with eyebrows that look abnormally dark and out of date in ten years. You can also do a few things to fade the microblading faster if you decide it is not for you.

What Are Risks Associated With It?

Like any other procedure that involves breaking the surface of the skin, there are some risks associated with microblading. There is always the chance you may have an allergic reaction. Risks associated with it are primarily due to inept practitioners, as there is no regulation for microblading, so you could potentially end up with a person who does not follow safety procedures or who is not capable of producing good results. The primary concern is simply that you may get an infection, either from something transmitted on an improperly cleaned tool or from something you encounter during recovery.

There is also some concern the result might not be what you want. A poorly trained microblading artist may create brows that are misshapen, too dark, or crooked. You can mitigate many of these risks by selecting a licensed esthetician who works in a high-quality salon and has proof of their training. Be sure to have a lengthy consultation and ensure the outline for your new brows is up to your standards before proceeding.
