Are you filling in the spots where your eyebrows seem sparse by re-applying brow gel several times throughout a day? Some eyebrows look perfect and others are not. Microblading is a way to have flawless eyebrows.
To preserve the color's freshness, we recommend an annual touchup following the initial complimentary one. Natural fading is caused by environmental factors like sunlight exposure and internal factors such the gradual degradation of pigments within your body. The fading process can be experienced differently by everyone. It all comes down to your skin type, lifestyle and personal preferences.
Microblading is a tattooing technique and form of permanent makeup in which a small handheld tool made of several tiny needles is used to add semi-permanent pigment to the skin. Microblading differs from standard eyebrow tattooing, as each hairstroke is created by hand using a blade which creates fine slices in the skin, whereas eyebrow tattoos are done with a machine and single needle bundle. Microblading is typically used on eyebrows to create, enhance, or reshape their appearance in terms of both shape and color. It deposits pigment into the upper region of the dermis, so it fades more rapidly than traditional tattooing techniques, which deposit pigment deeper into the skin. Microblading is also sometimes called embroidery, feather touch, microstroking, 3D eyebrow embroidery, or hair-like strokes.
