Eyebrow microblading. How long does it last and contraindications

Today, the beauty industry provides women with a huge selection of various cosmetic technologies and procedures to make them look well-groomed, stylish and attractive. According to most girls and women, special attention should be paid to the eyebrows, because it is thanks to them that you can emphasize your individuality, and make your eyes more expressive.

Microblading – what it is and its benefits

Eyebrows are an attribute that forms the appearance of the face, and if the clarity of their lines differs even in small errors, and the shape leaves much to be desired, then there is nothing to say about the style of the image. Their correct contours, density, naturalness are elements that can give the female image a certain zest.

To maintain the beauty of the eyebrows, a lot of various tools and cosmetics have been invented:

• pencils;

• shadows;

• dye;

• proofreaders;

• tweezers;

• brushes;

• ink.

To give the eyebrows the desired and appropriate shape, women have to spend a lot of time on it, which is almost never enough. Fortunately, cosmetology does not stand still, but is constantly evolving and moving forward with rapid strides. To make life easier for the fair sex, she offers a way out – microblading. Surely many women will be interested to learn about such a procedure as eyebrow microblading – what it is, how long the result lasts and how effective it will be.

The term "microblading" is quite young. A considerable number of women are unaware of the existence of a cosmetic procedure, thanks to which eyebrows can be given a beautiful and well-groomed look.

If we turn to etymology, we can find out that the word "blade" is translated from English as "blade". In other words, this is a manual tattoo, as the pigmentation is done by hand without the use of any machines.

To give the eyebrows the desired shape and density, a special tool is used that resembles an ordinary brush, the edge of which is made in the form of a tiny blade. With the help of this unusual tool, the cosmetologist makes small cuts, where the pigment paint is injected. The blade itself is very thin, so the dye is injected in such a way that the result is a natural looking eyebrow.

Procedure steps

Before talking in detail about how eyebrow microblading is done, it should be mentioned that the whole procedure is painstaking and requires a lot of patience and skill from a professional, and it consists of several stages:

1. Consultation

   . Immediately before the procedure, the specialist needs to find out from the client the desired shape, density of the eyebrows, as well as their bend and color. A professional removes unwanted hairs, and the desired shape is applied with an ordinary cosmetic pencil. If the client is satisfied with everything, then the master proceeds to the next stage.

2. Pain relief. During the procedure, incisions are made on the skin with a special tool. This "operation" does not cause pain, but the master still performs local anesthesia to avoid discomfort.

3. Application of pigment. This stage is also called "creative", since it is here that the most interesting begins – the creation of ideal eyebrows.

4. Final stage. Eyebrows are treated with a special healing gel, which is applied with a strip and washed off after 20 minutes.

After about a month, the eyebrows will fade a little, but this should not be upsetting. You just need to visit the beauty salon again. The master will take corrective measures. Where the hairs have disappeared, he will finish them. If they are a little "faded", he will simply draw them.

rehabilitation period

If we compare classic tattooing and microblading, then when performing the latter, streaks and blurring are completely excluded. However, the main difference is in the recovery period. After microblading:

• there is less swelling;
• there are no injuries;
• the pigment takes root perfectly;
• there is no risk of infection, since the needle penetrates the skin shallowly.

Session cost

Each woman, having decided on such a procedure, must first carefully consider the choice of a salon. Today, many prestigious salons can offer such services at a fairly high level, but getting a negative result is quite possible. Many women claim that the cost of micropigmentation is high, but it all depends on the education of the master, his experience. An important role is also played by what equipment he uses. The choice of paint and preparation for local anesthesia also affects how much this procedure will cost.

Rules and recommendations for care

Microblading is a procedure that requires following some recommendations and rules of care after it is carried out. A few days after such a cosmetic session, crusts appear on the eyebrows, which it is strictly forbidden to get rid of on your own. You need to wait a while for them to disappear on their own. If you intervene in the healing process, then scars and scars may appear. Therefore, eyebrow care after microblading is a very important process, which determines the rapid healing of wounds and the future beauty of the eyebrows.

Care rules:

1. Within a few days after the events, it is strongly not recommended to touch the eyebrows with your hands.

2. Do not wet your eyebrows or expose them to direct sunlight.

3. You should temporarily stop using any kind of cosmetics.

4. Any physical activity during the first days is contraindicated.

5. In order for the fastest healing to come, and the existing swelling to subside, you can use special soothing ointments and creams.

6. For 30 days it is forbidden to go to the beach, visit saunas.

The duration of the result

The result of microblading will delight not only the woman herself, but also the people around her with beauty and attractiveness. It will be possible for a long time to forget about daily used cosmetics – such as pencils, mascaras. Therefore, many women are concerned about the question of how long eyebrow microblading lasts.

Although this procedure allows you to achieve a lasting effect, it is impossible to say for sure how long the applied pigment will last. For someone, it lasts 7-8 months, and someone can enjoy beautiful and well-groomed eyebrows for up to a year and a half. There are many cases when microblading lasted about 2.5-3 years. The reason for this is the type of skin and its individual characteristics.

The age of the client also plays an important role in the stability of the result. It turns out that microblading lasts much longer in women who are over 40 years old.

Indications and contraindications

For most women, the microblading procedure turned out to be a lifesaver, and with its help, the weaker sex managed to solve many problems associated with appearance, namely:

• mask existing scars or scars;
• correct the shape and color of the eyebrows;

And yet, this is a medical intervention in the human body, therefore, like any cosmetic procedure, there are some contraindications. Eyebrow microblading is strictly prohibited for people who have the following health problems:

• poor blood clotting;
• diabetes;
• hepatitis;
• HIV infection;
• various skin diseases;
• oncological diseases;
• the period of the menstrual cycle;
• lactation;
• infectious diseases;
• panic attacks.

It is forbidden to carry out such a procedure for pregnant women.

This procedure is not recommended for those with oily skin. There is a high probability that the pigment will simply spread. The ideal option for them would be a permanent tattoo.

Thus, after microblading, the eyebrows will acquire an unprecedented attractiveness, and the eyes – a unique expressiveness. The main advantage is naturalness. Whether to do the microblading procedure or not is a personal matter for everyone. For some, this is a waste of money, while others consider such cosmetic services the only way to add attractiveness and originality to themselves. It all depends on the personal preferences of the woman and, of course, on the skill of the specialist.
