What is Microblading?
Microblading is a tattoo/permanent make up procedure using a microblade hand tool and a technique that has been used in the East for centuries. It has recently hit the West and become very popular. Pigment is deposited into the dermal layer of the skin in hair stroke technique to mimic real hair and is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their eyebrows. The results are natural looking regardless of the amount of hair present.
Fine blades are used to deposit pigment under the epidermis and above the dermis. We imprint the blade into the skin in the basal membrane in thin hair like movements to give an impression of real brows. This makes the process more superficial than tattooing.
Microblading is the only form of tattooing that will completely disappear from the skin after a period of approximately 18 months. However a colour boost is recommended once a year to maintain the crisp hair strokes that were implanted.
