Eyebrow micropigmentation and microblading, the differences between which will become clear after we look at both types of tattooing, are quite popular cosmetic procedures today. They are designed to correct the existing shape of the brow ridges, add missing volume to them, and fill them with imitation natural hairs, completely changing the female image. In this article we will analyze both methods of appearance correction, clarify the differences between them, and get acquainted with the progress of recovery after permanent surgery.
What is the essence of micropigmentation?
The manual method of micropigmentation is a revolutionary technique for drawing ultra-fine hairs along the eyebrow growth line, as well as applying shadows from them. The substance is implanted into the skin to a depth of 0.5 to 1 mm.
- The pigment consists of natural products that do not affect the deterioration of health and do not cause any other unpleasant consequences for the body.
- Due to the fact that the dye penetrates the skin to a shallow depth, its shade does not change over time.
- The behavior of the pigment is completely controlled, so the procedure does not cause tissue scarring.
Trauma during micropigmentation is minimal. The skin recovers very quickly after the procedure, and it does not cause negative consequences. The client does not feel any pain during the application of the pigment. The duration of the session is 1-2 hours and depends on the amount of work and the complexity of the drawing.
After making sure that you have no contraindications to the procedure, the specialist will offer you to choose the shape of the pattern and shade, providing several demonstration photos. It is usually very difficult to do this on your own. Therefore, the cosmetologist always gives recommendations to the client in accordance with his face type and eye characteristics. When the choice is made, you can begin the procedure.
- Disinfection of the treated area and instruments.
- Anesthesia.
- Applying a drawing with thin individual strokes in accordance with the chosen scheme.
- Eyebrow care after micropigmentation procedure.
As a rule, after micropigmentation, crusts and severe redness do not appear. In order for the recovery stage to pass as quickly as possible, it is necessary to lubricate the treated area with a soft cream or ointment as recommended by a cosmetologist. If a crust does appear, you will have to wait until it goes away on its own. Under no circumstances should you wet or scratch it during this time. If you take proper care of your skin, no negative complications will arise.
Another important question that worries girls is how long does the effect of micropigmentation last? This question is quite individual and depends on many factors, but on average, practice shows that an excellent result lasts from six months to 2 years. So that you can evaluate the effect with your own eyes before and after the procedure, we bring to your attention several photos.
Currently, classic eyebrow tattooing is becoming less popular. It has been replaced by new eyebrow architecture techniques, the main criterion for which is naturalness. A professional will show you how the modern micropigmentation procedure works in the final video.
Kinds
There are two main techniques for this procedure: 6D microblading and shadow technique.
The first type of makeup is characterized by maximum naturalness. It involves the introduction of pigment into the upper layers of the skin along the hairline, creating a three-dimensional pattern that is as close as possible to the natural picture. This technique is used to create eyebrows or reconstruct individual parts. It is important that such tattooing is developed individually.
The shadow technique or Slide&Tap method involves not only drawing hairs, but also densely filling the skin with pigment, creating a shadow. The method is great for those who have good eyebrows but the color is not bright enough. The method can also be used to fill individual areas. After the procedure, the eyebrows look natural and heal quickly.
The microblading technique is suitable for every girl who does not want to waste time on daily makeup. The spraying technique has been replaced by modern microblading, which allows you to create eyebrows that are fashionable today. Not so long ago, the trend was thin thread eyebrows with a slight and smooth curve. But today glossy publications are dictating new rules - eyebrows should be thick, wide and as natural as possible.
Using various techniques, you can create pronounced eyebrows by spraying or detailed drawing. Thus, beauty industry experts offer several techniques for applying “long-lasting” makeup that will best suit your individual style.
Process description
As already mentioned, the master does the procedure manually; for this, a special handle is usually used - a manipulator. In addition, the cosmetologist will need:
- Tweezers.
- Pencils.
- Dye.
- Anesthesia kit.
- Disinfectants.
- Pigmentation tool.
This is the main toolkit; the list may change depending on the characteristics of the master’s work. The whole procedure takes place in several stages.
Drawing a sketch depending on the selected shape.
- Correction of natural eyebrows, plucking hairs that go beyond the expected boundaries.
- Local anesthesia, pastes with lidocaine or novocaine are usually used.
- Introducing the pigment into the skin, the master makes movements in the direction of hair growth.
Important! The maniple is a reusable tool, but the master must put a needle on it in front of you.
After the procedure is completed, the specialist will apply ointment to your eyebrows, which you will wash off at home. The cosmetologist should also tell you about the features of care and the need for correction.
Tips for caring for eyebrows after micropigmentation:
The procedure in the salon takes from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the chosen technique and the professionalism of the specialist. It all depends on each individual case. At the initial stage, the master will ask you to tell us exactly what effect you want to achieve. To get the desired result, it is worth preparing several clear examples of what you want to get. And the more detailed you describe the desired result and show photographs, the easier it will be for a specialist to understand you and create the correct shape, density, curve, and also choose the desired shade.
There are several simple rules that allow you to choose the appropriate shape based on your appearance type.
- An oval face shape is considered ideal, so choosing the right eyebrow shape is not difficult. Still, soft eyebrows with rounded corners work best.
- Round face – often those with this appearance try to hide their excessive roundness. To do this, it is best to choose an arch-shaped bend and avoid thin and overly curved lines - they will only add roundness.
- Heart face – on this type of face, the eyebrows are given the task of balancing a high forehead and a thin, sharp chin. For this type, eyebrows with a low curve in the form of an arch that smoothly rises from the hairline are ideal.
- Elongated oval face - straighter and horizontal eyebrow lines are most suitable for this type; they help make the face visually shorter and more expressive.
- A “square” face - to soften the sharp features, you need to choose a shape with a curve, and the more pronounced the chin, the sharper the curve should be.
Types of eyebrow pigmentation
Eyebrow tattoo correction
At the moment, there are two main methods of eyebrow micropigmentation.
Microblading 6D
This method of micropigmentation is based on applying pigment in a special way: paint is introduced under the upper layers of the skin along the hair growth line at different angles, imitating the natural appearance of the eyebrow. With this type of tattooing, each client receives an individual approach. Full or partial restoration of eyebrows and their reconstruction are also performed.
6D eyebrow micropigmentation
Shadow technique
This pigment application technology is also called “Slide&Tap”. In addition to drawing the contour and each individual eyebrow hair, the skin is filled with pigment in such a way that it creates the impression of professional eyebrow makeup using a pencil and shadows. This technique is perfect for those who naturally have beautiful, well-shaped eyebrows. Shadow shading will only highlight their natural beauty.
Shadow technique
Interesting. There is also a manual method of applying micropigmentation. It is performed by cutting the skin with a microblade and applying pigment to the cut site. This procedure is performed only by experienced professionals and costs an order of magnitude more than a regular salon procedure.
Micropigmentation: differences from tattooing
Micropigmentation is a technique for introducing colored pigment under the skin, characterized by a relatively shallow depth. Usually its maximum value is about 0.3-0.8 millimeters. Other differences between this procedure and conventional tattooing follow from the different depths of pigment introduction:
- Due to its close location relative to the surface of the skin, the pigment retains its full intensity and the color does not change over time.
- Skin injuries are much easier than with tattooing - this reduces the healing time by several times.
- The shallow depth of pigment penetration ensures the absence of such phenomena as excessive scarring of tissue at the puncture site or changes in the original color.
So, the positive aspects of micropigmentation include faster skin restoration due to epithelization, preservation of color intensity, and a more natural appearance than with tattooing.
As for the disadvantages of the procedure, they include only the relatively quick washing out of the pigment - it lasts no more than a year and a half. But for those who are used to following fashion and do not want to maintain a static appearance for a long time, even this minus can easily turn into a plus of using micropigmentation.
The choice of method of applying makeup using a color pigment injected under the skin depends on a number of factors. But whatever you choose, it is worth remembering that the final result largely depends on the experience of the master, his ability to choose the right colors and create a spectacular image, as well as on his accuracy and attitude to hygiene. That is why choosing someone to whom you entrust your appearance and health should be taken very seriously.
By making the right choice and trusting professionals, you will definitely get a great result that will completely satisfy you.
Features of the procedure in a beauty salon
- Before starting the procedure, the master assesses the general condition of the eyebrows, individual facial features and facial expressions. Then it degreases the skin with a special alcohol-based lotion.
- Then an anesthetic gel is applied to the eyebrow area. After 15 minutes, when the product is absorbed into the skin, the remaining gel is removed with a napkin and the skin is wiped with a disinfectant lotion.
- The master combs the hairs on the eyebrows, puts them in the right direction and creates a beautiful and natural shape. Smooth curves are created with a pencil and tweezers.
- Then the shade for future eyebrows is selected. The palette in beauty salons is very rich, ranging from light gray to copper and dark brown. Black pigment is not used in microblading because it can turn blue over time. After agreeing on the shape and color with the client, the master proceeds to removing hairs that do not fit into the selected shape.
- After this, the master can proceed to the procedure itself. A special tool is used for this, and depending on the chosen technique, the pigment is shaded or drawn on each hair.
- Using a pointed motion, the technician inserts a disposable blade under the skin to a depth of no more than 2 mm. At this time, the upper layers of the epidermis are painted with pigment.
- After all the strokes are completed and the procedure is completed, the eyebrows are wiped with a special solution that promotes rapid healing and tissue restoration.
What is microblading and its techniques
Microblading or “embroidery” of eyebrows is a special method of introducing pigment using a manipulator (a special pen or holder for a microblade). Handmade work by a master is the main difference between “embroidery” and classic tattooing. Tattoo performed using a machine.
Today, girls, an experienced master is ready to offer you not just one technique for improving your eyebrows, but at least 5:
- hair method;
- powder spraying;
- 6d - technology;
- shadow technique;
- flaxtap technique.
You often ask what ombre is and what the procedure has to do with microblading. Ombre is a technique of coloring, rather than micropigmentation, in the brow area.
The technique appeared relatively recently, and so far it is one of the top methods of creating an image. And if the beauties of the world are cool towards hairstyles using this technique, eyebrows in the ombre style are a trend today.
The basis of the technique is a gradual change in color:
- at the base there are light hairs;
- at the bending point the color of the edges becomes saturated;
- and towards the temple the tone becomes lighter again.
Moreover, you can do ombre makeup yourself using shadows or henna and basma. But this is a topic for a separate article.
How to prepare for the procedure
About a month before the procedure, you need to visit a cosmetologist who will perform micropigmentation. There, together with the master, it will be possible to decide on the future color of the eyebrows, their shape, and the technique by which the effect will be performed.
Preparing for the procedure includes the following tips:
- refusal to take antibacterial drugs, drugs that affect the rate of blood clotting;
- stop drinking coffee, drinks containing it, energy drinks, alcohol;
- sunbathing in open sunlight and in a solarium;
- carry out eyebrow correction.
It is very important to competently approach the process of choosing a specialist who will carry out the manipulations. You need to make sure that he has the appropriate experience and qualifications, study client reviews, photos of work before and after the procedure.
You need to familiarize yourself with the certificates for dyes, check whether the master uses disposable needles, and whether he follows the rules of antiseptics.
It is very important to choose the right shade of coloring pigment. There are a number of factors to consider here:
- facial skin color;
- eye shade;
- hair color.
You need to change the existing eyebrow tone based on the rules: it can only differ from the color of your curls by one or two shades upward. Otherwise, the result will look unnatural and conspicuous. The shape of the eyebrows is also chosen according to established rules, taking into account the shape of the eyes, the type of face, and the shape of the cheekbones.
At the consultation stage, the master interviews the client, finding out if she has any contraindications to the manipulation.
For a girl, the most important preparation is choosing a specialist; the procedure requires precision, and the result depends entirely on the qualifications of the specialist. Getting rid of pigment is not so easy, so you should not agree to the services of dubious artists. Remember that the price for micropigmentation cannot be very low; the average price tag is 5-6 thousand rubles.
Together with the artist, you will need to decide on the shape of the eyebrows and their color. The specialist must take into account the features of your face: its shape, the location of the eyes, the height of the forehead. Also, the master should clarify whether you are going to dye your hair, and take into account the permanent hair color. When all the theory has been discussed, you can move on to practice.
Preparation and tools
In the preparation process, the most important aspect is the choice of a master cosmetologist who will perform the procedure. What should come to the fore is not the desire to save money, but to find an experienced professional, whose level of qualifications and experience will largely determine the result and durability of permanent eyebrow makeup.
How to make eyebrow tattoo at home yourself
Additional Information. When choosing a cosmetologist, experts advise focusing on customer reviews and examples of work (many masters have their own portfolio).
Only a competent specialist can choose the correct eyebrow shape and pigment shade that will hide imperfections and emphasize the advantages of appearance. When choosing makeup options, you need to pay attention to:
- facial parameters (forehead height, eye shape, contour of cheekbones and cheeks);
- the cosmetologist also takes into account the color of the eyes, hair, etc.;
- It is necessary to inform the stylist about your plans to change your hair color and the color palette of your everyday makeup.
Important! At the preparatory stage, the cosmetologist must conduct testing for possible allergic reactions. To do this, apply a little coloring pigment to the skin of the elbow; during the day you need to monitor whether an allergic reaction to the paint occurs.
To carry out the procedure, the cosmetologist uses:
- handle with a set of disposable blades;
- disinfectants for skin disinfection;
- tweezers for correcting eyebrow hairline;
- pencils for contouring;
- set of pigments;
- drugs for local anesthesia.
In addition to the above, craftsmen can use their own tools.
Benefits of the procedure
Eyebrow micropigmentation is a unique technique. Thanks to her undeniable merits, she has earned the recognition of millions of girls around the world.
- The drawing is created manually, which allows you to make it unique and expressive.
- Makeup of this type can be done as needed constantly - there are no restrictions on this.
- Under the scorching sun, heavy rain or in the pool, eyebrows will retain their shape unchanged.
The hand-hair drawing technique is ideal for those who are accustomed to value their time. Using this technique, it became possible to correct natural imperfections, making your eyebrows perfect.
Eyebrow beautification through micropigmentation has many advantages:
- absence of high trauma;
- minimal amount of pain;
- mild swelling of tissues;
- the formation of the thinnest, translucent crusts, hardly noticeable to prying eyes and quickly disappearing;
- short rehabilitation period lasting up to five days;
- achieving the effect of natural eyebrows;
- obtaining an ideal contour of the brow ridges;
- preservation of the original color for two to three years;
- gradual washing out of the shade (in the absence of correction after 2-3 years), without changing the color towards unnatural;
- speed of the procedure.
How to choose?
To choose which method to choose to change your appearance, eyebrow tattooing or microblading, you should first consider and study the features of both techniques.
Subtleties of the right choice:
- you need to make a choice by assessing the parameters of price, pain, frequency of mandatory correction;
- microblading is an innovative technique that allows you to get maximum effect and correct imperfections;
- The hair type of tattooing is carried out if there are not high financial capabilities; here the master draws each hair, creating a natural result.
Care
The durability of permanent makeup directly depends on the correct care in the first days after it and the subsequent effect on the skin. The first few days after micropigmentation, lymph and small discharge will appear on the skin. This is the norm; you need to blot them with a cotton pad soaked in a chlorhexidine solution. After about 3-4 days, a crust will begin to form on the skin; it is important not to peel it off, as the pigmentation may be disrupted. General eyebrow care at first involves:
- Do not wet your eyebrows for the first day.
- For the first 24 hours, do not engage in active sports, as the pigment may come out with sweat.
- Do not use decorative cosmetics for eyebrows until the wounds have completely healed.
- Lubricating the crusts with creams with vitamins A and D, vegetable oils.
- You cannot visit the sauna or solarium for 14 days.
- Do not sunbathe and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Do not use scrubs and peels, or alcohol-containing cosmetics.
Important! After complete healing, there are practically no restrictions, but the more often you use peelings and alcohol-containing tonics, the faster you will lose color.
Eyebrow care after micropigmentation
You must understand that proper care is required immediately after the procedure. After applying the pigment, the skin swells and turns red. Only proper care will allow you to achieve a natural result. Lymph will appear on the surface of the skin for several days, which is considered normal. The discharge should be carefully blotted with a cotton pad or napkin. A crust will appear after 3 days.
Eyebrow micropigmentation process
When recreating ideal brow ridges, the master, in addition to his main tool - the manipulator, needs some more auxiliary attributes:
- tweezers for plucking eyebrows so that excess hairs do not spoil the final result and do not interfere with work;
- eyebrow pencils (decorative cosmetics) for drawing a contour within which the eyebrow will be formed;
Shaping the eyebrows, outlining the contour
- paints and pigments that will be injected under the skin;
- a set of anesthesia, which must include a new (unopened) disposable syringe and the anesthetic itself;
- disinfectants (wipes, towels and specialist gloves must be disposable).
Attention! A pen-handle is a tool for introducing pigment, but be careful, the needles for these manipulations are disposable, and the master is obliged to print and install new blades in front of your eyes.
Further, the process of eyebrow pigmentation can be divided into several main stages:
- Designation of the contour of future eyebrows;
- Correction of your own eyebrow shape by removing excess hairs that extend beyond the boundaries of the selected shape;
- The use of an anesthetic pre-selected on an individual basis;
- Application of pigment.
At the end of the procedure, the eyebrow master should apply a special healing ointment to the area of the brow ridges, which can be washed off after a few hours at home. But the main thing is that the master must give recommendations on how to care for eyebrows after micropigmentation.
Recommendations for the patient
Before the procedure. First, the patient undergoes a consultation with a specialist, together they develop a sketch and choose the color of the pigment. If necessary, the doctor may order tests. It is important that there is no inflammation on the scalp.
Before the procedure, the patient must follow the following recommendations:
- seven days before the procedure, do not use aspirin and other blood-thinning agents (these include Plavex, Heparin, acetylsalicylic acid, vitamins C, etc.);
- for a week, do not apply minoxidil-based preparations, for example, Rogaine, to the scalp, do not make hair masks;
- three days before the procedure, apply a moisturizer overnight to the treatment area if the scalp is dry;
- three to four days before the procedure, you need to stop taking alcohol and anticoagulants, and on the day of the operation, don’t drink coffee or smoke;
- wash your hair on the day of the procedure;
- Tell your doctor about all medications you are using one week before the procedure.
After the procedure. Immediately after manipulation, there may be redness in the area where the pigment is applied. The redness lasts for about a day.
Each microdot contains pigment and looks darker and larger than after overgrowth. The final result of micropigmentation can be seen 7-14 days after the procedure. The speed of skin restoration depends on the individual characteristics of the skin: the number of sebaceous glands, the intensity of blood supply.
After the operation, the following measures must be observed:
- Avoid contact of the micropigmentation area with foreign objects (hat, pillow), and do not touch it with your hands for the next 3 days.
- Do not go to the gym or fitness center for 7 days. It is best to avoid intense sweating for at least two weeks.
- Avoid direct sunlight on the area for 30 days.
- Do not swim in the sea, as well as in the pool and do not dive headlong - 10 days.
- Do not visit the bathhouse, sauna, or steam room for 14 days.
- Comb gently without touching the skin for 7 days.
You can wash your hair no earlier than the fourth day after the procedure. Washing is allowed without intensive rubbing of shampoo, with warm water for no more than two to three minutes. After 7-14 days, you should come for an examination with a doctor. If stage-by-stage micropigmentation is indicated, the second stage is carried out no earlier than 7 days after the previous one.
If the patient uses minoxidil-based medications, they should return to the drug no earlier than 30 days after the micropigmentation procedure.
The applied natural pigment is gradually “washed out” - on average within 3–7 years. The rate of pigment resorption depends on the characteristics of the skin - dry or oily - and on lifestyle: how often a person is in direct sunlight, sweats, swims, etc.
Contraindications for microblading
Eyebrow tattoo
Like any invasive procedure that involves violating the integrity of the skin, eyebrow micropigmentation has a number of contraindications, in the presence of which it should be abandoned. These include the following diseases and health conditions:
- lesions and diseases of the nervous system;
- decreased blood clotting;
- type 2 diabetes mellitus;
- the presence of various neoplasms on the skin of the eyebrows (moles, birthmarks, papillomas, kandillomas, etc.);
- wounds, irritations and other damage to the skin of the eyebrows;
- ARVI in the acute stage (it is recommended to postpone until the condition stabilizes and the temperature decreases);
- inflammatory diseases of various organs in the acute stage;
- taking antibiotics and anticoagulants;
- period of menstruation (due to changes in the balance of sex hormones in the body, the period in the middle of the cycle is most stable);
- pregnancy and lactation period.
In the absence of the above conditions, you can begin preparing for the micropigmentation procedure.
Eyebrow tattoo before and after. How to properly care for long-lasting makeup
Immediately after the permanent tattoo procedure, eyebrows look reddened and swollen and require careful care in order to prevent possible complications and allergic reactions.
With proper care, the next day skin problems will disappear, and the natural color will be restored immediately after the permanent is fixed under the skin.
In total, the healing process lasts on average about 8 days.
This procedure is accompanied by the formation of a thin crust of lymph, dye residues and ichor. It protects the epidermis, promoting rapid tissue repair.
Do not remove the formed crust under any circumstances, otherwise the permanent will become faded or will not stick at all.
Intentional removal of the sore will contribute to the formation of a keloid scar, accompanied by inflammation.
For three weeks after eyebrow tattooing, you should refrain from the following procedures:
- visit the bathhouse/sauna, solarium;
- sunbathe and stay in the sun for a long time;
- swim in salty or chlorinated water;
- use cosmetics with moisturizing, nourishing, anti-aging and other side effects;
- apply decorative cosmetics in the eyebrow area;
- apply hormonal/antibacterial ointments;
- carry out peeling.
During this period, eyebrows must be treated with antiseptic agents, for example, miramistin, chlorhexidine, as well as the application of special ointments - panthenol, bepanthen. Process carefully using a cotton swab.
In three weeks, you will be pleased with your healed permanent eyebrow makeup.
You will be able to evaluate the result obtained and draw a conclusion about the need to make additional adjustments. Please note that the final eyebrow shade will be 30% lighter than the initial one.
When deciding to tattoo your eyebrows, remember that this is a very responsible procedure that is practically impossible to change in case of an undesirable result.
Weigh the pros and cons, choose a qualified and experienced craftsman who works with quality products.
Consequences of microblading
This procedure is considered a more gentle option for tattooing, and therefore is almost always well tolerated. However, every body is different, so some unpleasant consequences may still occur.
The pigment will disappear very quickly (this can happen if you have extremely oily skin, you did not care properly after the procedure, poor quality of workmanship and material). Allergy to the composition of the pigment, that is, itching, skin hyperemia, swelling (it is important to conduct a sensitivity test before application).
Infection (this can be caused by two options: violation of application technology and improper aftercare). Prolonged healing, the appearance of scars and cicatrices (this follows from the previous paragraph, when an infection got into the micro-wounds).
Thus, the choice of a master is the main key to the successful desired result.
How to remove eyebrow microblading
If you are not satisfied with the result of micropigmentation, then you can remove it in several ways. But this needs to be done correctly so as not to worsen the condition further.
Microblading can be removed using special bleaching agents. They make the pigment a little lighter and blur the contours, however, complete removal most likely will not work.
Chemical peeling. This method can remove the top layer of skin, so the color will become less bright and noticeable, but the contour will not completely disappear, but you can speed up the natural convergence.
Laser. This is the most reliable way; After the procedure, traces of unsuccessful permanent makeup completely disappear.
Camouflage. The method involves painting over the unsuccessful lines with white and flesh-colored paint, but the catch is that it fades over time, and the blue or red color appears again. Moreover, the laser does not remove light tones, and new paint does not fit well on this place. Therefore, in the end you will end up with crooked pieces that cannot be corrected in any way; all you have to do is wait until it comes off on its own.
So carefully and carefully choose a salon and a specialist. Read the reviews, ideally it’s good if someone you know has already had their eyebrows done by this artist, talk to them during a consultation.
Take your time, because even though microblading is a more gentle option, it will still remain for a long time, and it is too painful to remove.
What is the price
Since the procedure is carried out manually and is very painstaking, the prices are quite high. The low cost should alert you: either the master is not an expert in his field, perhaps there is no medical license for microblading, or he uses cheap, low-quality paint.
The average price in Moscow is from 4 thousand rubles to 7 thousand, but it varies in each region, so find out in several salons and compare prices.
But again, the high cost of the procedure does not guarantee an impeccable result.
Post-procedure care and re-correction
The skin under the eyebrows immediately after the procedure has a red tint, and slight soreness remains. After 1 - 2 days, a crust appears at the staining site, which should not be removed; wait until it falls off on its own (this happens within a week).
To consolidate the achieved results, you should adhere to basic recommendations for eyebrow care. They consist of the following rules:
- Do not wet, scratch, or impact the painted area in any way.
- Use Bepanten for regeneration and restoration of skin tissue.
- Avoid going to the pool and avoid getting water on your face.
- Limit the use of soap and cosmetics for washing as much as possible.
- Avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation (minimum 2 - 3 weeks).
Repeated correction is carried out a month and a half from the date of the first procedure. Subsequently, manipulations are repeated as the pigment fades.
How is eyebrow micropigmentation done?
Eyebrow pigmentation is also called microblading and is considered reconstruction. Clients claim that each hair is carefully drawn, and the eyebrows look natural. The main difference between the procedure and a regular tattoo is the peculiarity that the eyebrow is not painted entirely in one tone.
The microblading procedure is performed step by step:
- First you will need makeup remover. Use lotions that do not contain alcohol or fragrance.
- Local anesthesia of the eyebrows is performed. To eliminate discomfort, use creams that contain lidocoine. Emla cream is suitable, which is used to treat the area of the eyebrows and cover with polyethylene. The micropigmentation technique may eliminate the need for anesthesia. If the client wishes, the skin is not anesthetized.
- The effect of the medicine occurs within 20 minutes. Loss of sensitivity in the skin - it’s time to start manipulation. Before the session, disposable needles are inserted into the manipula, which are unpacked before the manipulation. Do the same with the pigment ring, which you put on for convenient application of paint on your finger.
- Coloring begins with the outline. The master drives pigment into the epidermis. Then they move to the middle of the eyebrows and tips.
Do shadows disappear at noon?
Fortunately, no. Eyebrows made using the shadow technique by a permanent makeup artist “live” for about 2 years (subject to visits to the artist for correction), unlike ordinary shadows applied to the eyebrows and easily removed with a sponge.
This technique allows you to create bright and pronounced eyebrows in 3 different ways:
Shadow shading | Shot | Actually the shadow technique |
Point injection of dye into areas requiring touch-up and correction | Eyebrows are bright, as if drawn with a greasy pencil, not natural | Getting the edge shading in the right place |
Is at the peak of popularity | Rarely used | Usually used mixed with hair method |
These are the main differences between the variations of the shadow way to create beautiful, noticeable eyebrows.
