Microblading eyebrows. Photo before and after, what is it, how much is kept, how is it done, price

Microblading is a type of eyebrow correction. Photos before and after such a procedure are striking in their naturalness and scale of changes. Most women want their eyebrows to be symmetrical and look harmonious. Often this requires a lot of effort and time, so women are constantly looking for ever new ways of correction, giving a lasting effect.

What is eyebrow microblading

Microblading is an eyebrow correction method that allows you to achieve their natural appearance after the procedure and long-term effect that lasts up to 1 year. Looking at the photo, it is almost impossible to distinguish it from real eyebrows. It consists in introducing pigments of the desired color under the skin.

A special technique of execution distinguishes it from tattooing, which provides for continuous shading of the desired contour, because of which the eyebrows do not look natural. Microblading, in turn, is based on the introduction of pigment through thin sections made by a blade in the upper layers of the epidermis.

This technique allows you to create the necessary contour from thin shaded stripes, very similar to hairs.

Due to the fact that each hair is required to be drawn, this procedure requires a lot of time and skill. A cosmetologist must have high professionalism so that the effect of the procedure looks as natural as possible. The main thing is that the depth of pigment application does not exceed 3/32 inch, otherwise the color and structure of individual hairs will differ.

There is also a risk of developing inflammatory processes. This technique of eyebrow correction was developed by Chinese cosmetologists more than 10 years ago, later it was adapted and improved in Europe. In this short time, several different techniques have been developed, which are used with great success to this day.

What is microblading

Experienced craftsmen use several microblading techniques, among which hair, with shading, and 3D, 6D techniques are distinguished.

Hair technique

This technique is the most common and in demand among customers. Most of the masters mastered it perfectly, which is why during its execution an almost perfect result is guaranteed. The essence of the technique is to create an eyebrow contour by applying small strokes.

Often the wizard has a set of different patterns that differ in the shape of the contour, the size and direction of the strokes, as well as the color. This greatly simplifies the process of selecting a drawing by the client. Depending on the direction of the hairs, eastern and European hair technique is distinguished.

Eastern provides for applying strokes of various lengths and directions, which allows you to create the effect of natural growth. European technology, on the contrary, provides for the creation of strokes of the same length, directed in a single vector, which creates the effect of natural eyebrows laid with a gel and a brush.

The hair technique is suitable for girls with rare eyebrows. In order for the effect to be longer, the procedure should be corrected one month after completion. The cosmetologist adds pigment in the necessary places so that the color of the eyebrows smoothed out more even and natural. After that, you can be sure that the effect of microblading will last more than 6 months.

Feathering hair technique

The effect of the usual procedure can be enhanced by blending the pigment. Using this technique, you can achieve the effect as if the master drew eyebrows with a pencil and shadows. Shading allows you to achieve a longer effect, which will last more than 10 months.

If correction is carried out in a timely manner, the effect can be maintained up to 2 years. A variation on this technique is the shadow technique, which involves darkening the necessary areas of the eyebrow contour using spot pigment application. Similar manipulations are recommended for blondes and girls with a light hair tone.

3D Technique, 6D

Previous microblading techniques involve the use of special equipment to reduce the time required to complete the procedure. But if the client wants the drawn eyebrow arches to be practically no different from the natural ones, you need to manually draw each individual hair. This is the essence of 3D and 6D technology.

In this case, the master takes a lot of time to draw each hair. Each time he chooses the length, thickness and direction of the stroke. To do this, you need to have great experience in order to ultimately get eyebrows that do not differ from natural ones.

When choosing the microblading technique for the first time, you should focus on the simplest one. Such a procedure will be cheaper, faster, and may ultimately be better for others. It is not always easy to find a wizard capable of performing the 6D technique at the proper level.

What are the pros and cons of microblading

Like any cosmetic procedure, microblading has a number of pros and cons.
