Microblading in Arlington and Bedford
Microblading is a procedure where tattooed hair strokes blend seamlessly into the eyebrow to create a naturally fuller look. This procedure is semi-permanent and will last for approximately 1 to 2 years.
Eyebrows are arguably the most important facial feature, so it does not matter if you like them arched and feathered or straight and bold. Microblading helps you achieve the desired eyebrow
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup procedure whereby hair like incision strokes are created along the eyebrow to attempt to either enhance, reshape or create a natural looking appearance on the brows
For the first step in the microblading procedure a topical numbing cream is the eyebrow area to minimize any discomfort. Most clients are often concerned about any discomfort caused during the procedure. There is minimal to no discomfort at all. Out technicians are licensed and experienced. They will make sure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
The second step is using measurements to roughly sketch the eyebrows with removal pencil. During this step you can explain to the technician how you want your brows to be shaped and talk to them about what kind of look you’re going for. The technician will take thorough measurements to ensure the shape comes out to your liking.
The third step is the longest and most important step. TO get the best customized shape for our client we use a special microblading pen to draw individual strokes one by one. The Nano blade on the microblading pen is dipped into a pigment that has been matched to natural hair color and skin tone.
The entire service takes about two to two and a half hours to complete. The healing process after microblading is different for everyone. It typically takes about 25 to 30 days to heal. Microblading can last from one to two years depending upon the client’s skin type and age.
Microblading involves making cuts into your skin in the area of your eyebrows and implanting pigment into those cuts. There are several things you should know about maintenance and aftercare if you are considering getting it done. Your skin will be sensitive afterwards, and you’ll need to avoid touching the area or getting it wet for up to 10 days after your appointment.
Please follow these instructions for 10-14 days after the procedure to improve and prolong the results of microblading.
