Beautiful Eyebrows

Semi Permanent Make-up uses Microblading, a form of cosmetic tattooing that uses a manual handheld tool to create hair-like strokes on the skin to enhance or reshape the eyebrows.

The process involves depositing pigment into the superficial layers of the skin to create the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows.
During the procedure, the Beauty Therapist will first consult with the client to determine the desired shape and colour of the eyebrows. Then, the Beauty Therapist will use a sterile blade to make small incisions in the skin and deposit the pigment into the incisions. The process is usually performed in multiple sessions, each taking one to two hours.
After the procedure, the client may experience some redness and swelling in the eyebrow area, which typically subsides within a few days. The final result of microblading can last up to two years, depending on the client’s skin type and lifestyle.

Microblading has several benefits, including:

1. Fuller-looking eyebrows: Microblading can create the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows, enhancing the overall look of the face.
2. Saves time: Microblading can save time on daily makeup routines since the eyebrows are already shaped and filled in.
3. Long-lasting results: Microblading can provide long-lasting results, lasting up to two years with proper care and maintenance.
4. Customisable: Microblading can suit the client’s desired eyebrow shape, size, and colour, ensuring a natural and flattering look.
5. Safe and non-invasive: Microblading is a safe and non-invasive procedure that involves minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
6. Boosts confidence: Microblading can boost confidence and self-esteem, especially for those with sparse or uneven eyebrows due to medical conditions, over-plucking, or ageing.

Microblading is a popular and effective cosmetic procedure that can help clients achieve their desired eyebrow shape and boost their confidence.

Microblading is a precise and detailed process that involves the following steps:

1. Consultation: The process begins with a consultation where the Beauty Therapist will assess the client’s skin type, natural eyebrow shape, and desired look. The Beauty Therapist will discuss the process and answer any client’s questions.
2. Preparation: The Beauty Therapist will clean the eyebrow area and apply a numbing cream to minimise discomfort during the procedure. The Beauty Therapist will then use a handheld tool to create hair-like strokes on the skin.
3. Design: The Beauty Therapist will use a removable pencil to draw the desired eyebrow shape on the skin, ensuring symmetry and balance between both eyebrows.
4. Pigment selection: The Beauty Therapist will help clients choose a pigment colour that best matches their natural eyebrow colour and complements their skin tone.
5. Microblading: Using a sterile blade, the Beauty Therapist will make tiny incisions in the skin, depositing the pigment into the superficial layers of the skin to create the appearance of hair-like strokes. The Beauty Therapist will repeat the process until the desired thickness and fullness are achieved.
6. Aftercare: After the procedure, the client should avoid getting the eyebrows wet or applying makeup for several days. The Beauty Therapist will provide aftercare instructions and a healing ointment to help the eyebrows heal properly.
7. Follow-up appointment: Normally, the client would arrange a subsequent appointment within 4-6 weeks of the initial procedure to address any faded pigment or require supplementary strokes.

Microblading is a meticulous process requiring skill and attention to detail to create natural-looking, full eyebrows.

The duration of a microblading procedure typically depends on several factors, including the client’s natural eyebrow shape and thickness, the desired look, and the Beauty Therapist’s experience and technique. However, on average, a microblading procedure can take one to two hours.
During the initial consultation, the Beauty Therapist will discuss the client’s desired eyebrow shape and colour and assess their natural eyebrows. The Beauty Therapist will then use a pencil to outline the desired shape and thickness, considering the client’s facial features and symmetry.
Once the client is happy with the proposed design, the Beauty Therapist will apply a numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the procedure. The microblading typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated and the number of strokes needed to achieve the desired thickness and fullness.
After the microblading is complete, the Beauty Therapist will provide aftercare instructions and healing ointment to promote proper healing. The client should avoid getting the eyebrows wet or applying makeup for several days after the procedure to allow the eyebrows to heal correctly.
After the initial procedure, it’s common to have a follow-up appointment about four to six weeks later. The purpose of this appointment is to make any necessary touch-ups on areas where the pigment may have faded or where additional strokes are needed. Typically, this follow-up appointment takes less time than the initial procedure.

Proper aftercare is essential for ensuring the best possible results from microblading. Here are some of the aftercare instructions typically provided by the Beauty Therapist after a microblading treatment:

1. Keep the treated area clean: Avoid getting the treated area wet for the first 24 hours after the procedure. After 24 hours, gently cleanse the area with a mild, unscented cleanser and water twice daily to remove excess oil or debris.
2. Avoid touching or scratching the area: Touching or scratching the treated area can disrupt the healing process and cause the pigment to fade or become patchy. It is essential to avoid touching the region, especially with dirty hands.
3. Apply healing ointment: The Beauty Therapist will provide a healing cream that should be applied to the treated area to moisturise and promote healing. Apply the lotion as directed, typically twice daily, for the first few days after the procedure.
4. Avoid direct sunlight: Exposure to direct sunlight can cause the pigment to fade or become discoloured. Avoiding direct sunlight or using a hat or protective clothing to cover the treated area when outside is recommended.
5. Avoid swimming and sweating: Avoid swimming, sauna, and excessive sweating for at least one week after the procedure, as this can cause the pigment to fade or become patchy.
6. Do not apply makeup or skincare products: Avoid using makeup or skincare products on the treated area for at least one week after the procedure, as this can affect the healing process and cause the pigment to fade.

Following these aftercare instructions can help ensure the best possible results from microblading. Attending the follow-up appointment is crucial as it allows the Beauty Therapist to address areas where the pigment may have faded or become uneven. This ensures that the final outcome is flawless and long-lasting. It is also essential to attend the follow-up appointment, where the Beauty Therapist can touch up any areas where the pigment may have faded or become patchy.

Small incisions are made in the skin to deposit pigment under the eyebrows during a cosmetic procedure known as microblading, which is semi-permanent. While the process is not usually considered painful, some discomfort or mild pain is possible. However, most Beauty Therapists will apply a topical numbing cream to the area beforehand to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
The level of discomfort experienced during the procedure can vary depending on the individual’s pain tolerance and the skin’s sensitivity in the treated area. Some clients may experience mild discomfort, while others may feel a slight stinging or scratching sensation during the procedure. However, most people find any pain they feel during the process manageable.
After the procedure, the treated area may be tender and sore for a few days, with some redness and mild swelling. The Beauty Therapist will provide aftercare instructions, including applying a healing ointment to the area and avoiding certain activities to promote proper healing and minimise discomfort.
Microblading is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that can provide long-lasting results with minimal discomfort. If you are concerned about the pain or discomfort associated with microblading, talk to your Beauty Therapist beforehand, and they can discuss pain management options with you.

After microblading, it is normal to experience some mild redness, swelling, and tenderness around the treated area. The level and duration of these effects can vary depending on the individual’s skin sensitivity and how well they follow the aftercare instructions. Here are some of the most common after-effects of microblading:

1. Redness: The treated area may appear red and slightly swollen immediately after the procedure. This normal reaction to the microblading process should diminish within a few hours to a few days.
2. Swelling: Swelling is a common after-effect of microblading, lasting up to three days. Applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
3. Tenderness: The treated area may be tender to the touch for a few days after the procedure. Avoid touching or scratching the area, as this can affect the healing process and cause the pigment to fade or become patchy.
4. Flaking and scabbing: As the treated area heals, it may flake and scab. This is a normal part of the healing process, and it is crucial not to pick at the scabs or flakes, as this can cause the pigment to become patchy or fade.
5. Itching: Itching is a common after-effect of microblading and can be a sign that the area is healing. However, avoiding scratching or rubbing the site is essential, as this can disrupt the healing process.
6. Colour fading: It is normal for the pigment to appear darker immediately after the procedure and disappear over the following weeks as the skin heals. A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled to touch up areas where the pigment may have faded or become patchy.

It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the Beauty Therapist to minimise these after-effects and promote proper healing. Contact your Beauty Therapist immediately if you experience any unusual or severe after-effects.
