Whether you have naturally thin eyebrows, or you simply want to create the perfect shape, microblading can be a great way to create a stunning look without having to pencil in your brows each day. Before you schedule a microblading appointment, here are some things to know about the procedure.

1. Microblading Is Semi-Permanent

While microblading isn't a permanent tattoo, it is more of a commitment than having an aestheticism draw your brows in for a special event. The expert at your local spa or salon uses a small pen-like device with micro needles at the end. These needles are used to implant pigment just barely below the surface of the skin. The result is a natural pigment drawn in to create a full and sculpted brow. The procedure results in beautiful brows that can last several weeks.

2. There May Be Some Discomfort

The microblading technique isn't as invasive as a tattoo, but it can cause some minor discomfort. The scratching of the needles on the skin can cause some pain and irritation, but you can help treat it by using a cold compress on the brows after the procedure is complete. Be sure to discuss microblading with your doctor in advance, particularly if you have skin sensitivities or any bleeding conditions that might cause complications. You can also ask your beauty specialist to test a small area at the edge of your brows to make sure you'll be able to handle the entire treatment.

3. A Consultation Is Essential

Before you sit down in the chair to have your perfect brows created, you'll want to have a consultation appointment. This is your opportunity to talk about the shape and style you want in advance. Remember that you'll have to live with the results for a while, so be sure you get the look you want. Your stylist can draw in the design with a pencil to make sure you are satisfied with the shape and design. You can also bring in pictures to help the stylist understand the exact look you are going for. Don't be afraid to speak up if you aren't satisfied with the results of your consultation. Beauty experts want to make sure you get the results you want.

4. Plucking Or Threading Is Part Of The Process

To create the perfect look, you'll want to have your brows plucked, waxed, or threaded in advance. This helps ensure the desired shape while also creating a clean, manicured look. Your beauty advisor may remove more brow than anticipated, but the microblading process will fill in the spaces to give you the full, beautiful look you want.
