What is Microblading

What is Microblading?

Other artists name this as 3D, 4D, HD, eyebrow embroidery, silk touch, or microblading. For me, this is all part of the same form of tattooing or permanent makeup process. Microblading is a manual "hand" method of permanent cosmetics for your eyebrows, which creates wonderful, natural-looking hair strokes. The results? Perfectly natural-looking, thick, full brows.

How long does Microblading last?

Depending on your skin type and care, the pigment will fade slowly over 2 months to 5 years; then, you might consider a touch-up.

What can I expect during my service?

Here's a quick rundown of a typical service provided by Mylene:

First, I will need to do a patch test on the skin at least 24 hours before the procedure. (Optional) Make sure to call and book a five-minute to 15-minute consultation before the procedure. This is to rule out an allergic reaction.
Before the appointment begins, I will provide a quick consultation to discuss expectations and results of the treatment.
Then I will draw on the eyebrow shape according to the golden ratio measuring tool. Brows are measured perfectly to complement your unique face shape and size.
Next, with customer approval, we choose the perfect color.
Initial strokes are placed, then an anesthetic is applied to reduce any discomfort.
The pigment is worked into each stroke to define the brow.
After, a pigment mask is left to absorb into the skin.
Once that's finished, I will clean the area thoroughly.
After the service, the aesthetician will apply medical silicone that will remain on the skin for 12-24 hours.

Is Microblading painful?

The service can be uncomfortable for those who are more sensitive. However, an anesthetic is applied to minimize this to a tolerable level. I also offer anesthetic cream that can freeze the skin for at least 20 minutes with almost no pain.

How does it work?

Marks in the skin. I will select needles and blade types according to the technique and skin type. The pigment is applied just below the epidermis and the most superficial part of the dermis, creating natural-looking hair strokes. A very natural result is achieved, as the hairs are bladed into the skin according to the natural hair growth direction. A touch-up is included 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment. The pigment is applied with a specific tool that has a row of several fine needles to create a thin

How long does the service last?

The appointment should take about four to five hours. Some face shapes are not symmetrical. I strive for perfect shaping in the best interest of the customer. This is the most crucial part. Where I truly respect my customers. I believe that eyebrows should enhance or frame our eyes, which is the focal point.

• Touching of the eyebrow area except for when rinsing and applying the post-care cream with a cotton swab.

• Driving in open-air vehicles such as convertibles, boats, bicycles, or motorcycles.

• Drinking alcohol in excess may lead to slow healing of wounds.

• Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning, such as garage or basement cleaning, where there is a lot of airborne debris.

• Picking, peeling, or scratching of the micro-pigmented area to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.

• Increased sweating, practicing sports, swimming, hot sauna, hot bath or jacuzzi, sun tanning or salon tanning.shower head. Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days after the microblading procedure. However, experience has shown that by following these aftercare instructions, these symptoms may quickly disappear.

• Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 on your eyebrows when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away more quickly.

Seven-day healing process:

Remove excess lymph fluid by blotting the brows until the oozing has stopped.
Day 1: Wash the eyebrow after 30 minutes, then after 1 hour, and then after 2 hours, up to 5 times with antibacterial soap. Rub the area in smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water. Pat dry with clean tissue.
Apply a RICE GRAIN amount of aftercare ointment. Never put the ointment on a wet, damp tattoo. Do not overapply ointment, as this can suffocate your skin & delay healing.
Day 2: Repeat washing & moisturizer morning, at lunch & before bed.
Days 3-7: Repeat washing & apply moisturizer in the morning & before bed.

What happens during the touch-up?

The touch-up is recommended 4-6 weeks after initial treatment. During your touch-up, I will fill in any missing hairs and add or reshape existing ones.

What is the Microblading healing process like?

Reflection of healed color can only be assessed 3-4 weeks after treatment. Touch-ups and/or corrections of the shape/design are recommended at least 4 weeks after the initial treatment. It will go from too dark, to too light, to just right!
True. Your new eyebrows will undergo several phases during the healing process.
Immediately after the procedure, the pigment will appear very sharp and dark. This is because the pigment is still sitting on top of your skin and has not yet fully settled in. The color of the pigment will soften gradually (do not be alarmed if you see some pigment on the cotton swab, as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin).
Once the healing of the skin starts, it will resemble dandruff flakes or dry skin. This might give you the impression that the color pigment is fading too quickly. However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from your eyebrows.
Your natural-looking eyebrows will be the lightest tones during days 5-12 because the color is absorbed in the deeper layers of the skin. Later, skin cells push it back to the upper layers.
