Microblading, What on Earth is it?

Microblading is an innovative Asian beauty creation which has well and truly reached Western beauty communities, the benefits of which ultimately yield bolder and fuller eyebrows.

In contrast to the impacts of certain long-lasting eyebrow treatments such as embrowdery or tattooing, microblading is made to render stroke effects that seem much like original hairs.

As a qualified microblading specialist – Araya Fitzgerald (lead beautician and proprietor of Araya Beauty here in Leopardstown) states:

The microblading treatment offered in our salon is suitable for ladies who possess a will to totally express, recreate and cover up gaps, or even fill-in over plucked eyebrows. It’s usually great for individuals that prefer to add a little arch on their brows; the benefits are original, stunning and rarely seen as anything but natural to the naked eye.

Microblading is conducted by employing small, sharp needles to implant pigments beneath the skin. Given that the pigment is deposited nearer the skin surface, the strokes seem sharp and amazing and yet never spill under the skin, giving it the ultimate in precision and shape control.

So, How Exactly Does it Work?

The microblade has a row of tiny blades, and this is reason it’s commonly referred to as eyebrow embroidery. the colour is actually implanted into the superficial dermis of your skin using the expendable microblade enabling the specialist to make bespoke, highly detailed hair strokes that appear like normal eyebrow hairs.

After that, the specialist starts the process of microblading by implanting the colours into the skin layers.

What’s the Difference Between Microblading and Semi-Permanent Tattooing?

Microblading varies from semi-permanent tattooing, the procedure is done manually. By using portable micro needles, the pigment is placed nearer the skin surface unlike when a machine is utilized and this makes fantastic and sharp hair strokes without any spilling under the skin.

Is it Possible for Anyone to Get Microblading Done?

Those that have had eyebrow tattooing done aren’t generally the best people for microblading as a result of the scar mark formation resulting from tattooing. The result might not be similar to that of non-treated eyebrows so we steer clear of recommending this practice for those in this situation.

How Long do Microblading Treatments Last?

Microblading is never a hurried procedure, it normally requires about two-and-a-half hours to accomplish the desired effect.

A number of individuals would suggest a recommended petroleum jelly aftercare cream such as Vaseline on the brows as long as one week after for the skin to restore, in addition, it’s likewise essential not to scrub or even pick your eyebrows. It’s usually recommended to have a retouch after about a month to ensure the colour appears even all through the eyebrows.

The inspirational Alyssa Coscarelli wrote that she was persuaded to consider microblading when she learnt of a melanoma survivor that used the procedure in the Yahoo Beauty article entitled “Why I Tattooed My Eyebrows & What it was Really Like.” In fact, she herself never had eyebrow loss as a result of cancer; she explained her extensive day to day practice to making her eyebrows look well-nurtured and better by making use of eyebrow pencils, powders and pomades before having the eyebrow embroidery.

The renowned beauty writer also explained how she planned for a more elaborate eyebrow transplant before she then considered eyebrow embroidery in an effort to escape from her regular, time consuming routine.

The makeup process requires that she applied her artificial brows together with makeup and will not go anywhere without them, which made her boyfriend say (jokingly) that before they could get out she must use her brows!
