MICRO-BLADING
What is microblading?
​
Microblading is a type of eyebrow architecture. It is all about creating the best shape for each face – a totally bespoke approach for each client.
The process is very precise, thanks to the tool that is used, which is effectively like a pen with the nib being a sloped blade with 10-12 little needles at the end - needles that don’t penetrate the skin, but just delicately scratch the surface, much like a paper cut.
'The needle very f​inely implants featherweight strokes with a medical grade pigment on the epidermis layer for the skin, creating fine, realistic and natural hair strokes.'
How is microblading eyebrows different to having your brows tattooed?
​
'Microblading, unlike tattooing, is not in the deep layer of skin, but more on the surface. The color selected is always matched exactly to your own skin & hair color. While Microblading is not permanent, it does last at least 24 months., when the color may start to fade. With a simple 'touch-up' treatment, your eyebrows will look brand new again!
The hair strokes are far more natural and finer than any tattoo, as a handheld needle/blade is used – there is no electrical gadget that permeates deep in this technique. There is therefore more of a scratching noise, rather than a buzz of a tattoo gun which pierces the skin so deeply. This method is also preferred in the re-shaping of the eyebrow and especially effective when there is a significant loss of hair in the area.
