If you’ve ever regretted those over-plucked arches or, like many of us, want a bolder brow without having to apply makeup every morning, microblading offers flawless, ever-ready eyebrows with semi-permanent makeup and the perfect eyebrow shaping!
Say goodbye to daily pencils and powders and live out your dream of waking up with effortlessly flawless eyebrows! It’s no wonder women are swearing microblading has saved them so much time during their morning routine over the years.
But before you head out to get them, you may have questions. We’re here to answer our most asked questions about microblading!
1. What is Microblading, anyway?
Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup method where a medical aesthetician uses a tiny blade to create hair-like strokes on the eyebrows. By doing so, it creates natural-looking, fuller brows that can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years!
2. How is Microblading different from regular eyebrow tattooing?
Unlike traditional eyebrow tattoos, which use a machine, Microblading is performed manually. This means each hair stroke is carefully crafted, providing more control and precision, and achieving a more natural eyebrow shaping look.
3. Is Microblading Painful?
Most clients compare the sensation to light scratching. But at Revived Medical Aesthetics in Harrisburg, PA, we ensure our clients’ comfort by applying a topical numbing cream before the procedure so you aren’t in pain.
4. How should I prepare for my session?
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinners 24 hours before the procedure. We also recommend skipping tanning and intense facial treatments in the weeks leading up.
5. How long does the session take?
A typical Microblading session at Revived Medical Aesthetics lasts about 2-3 hours. The process usually involves a professional carefully mapping and shaping your eyebrows, and perhaps trimming or tweezing them to create a clean, optimal shape for the microblading. This includes the consultation, brow shaping, choosing the right color, the procedure itself, and aftercare instructions.
6. Speaking of microblading aftercare…
After your Microblading session, it’s essential to keep the area clean and dry. Avoid sweating (so maybe hold off on the gym for a bit) and steer clear of direct sunlight. Also, refrain from applying makeup or skincare products directly on the brows during the initial healing phase.
Chemical peels, laser treatments, and even some facials can affect the longevity of your microblading, so avoid these for the time being.
Don’t worry…our team will provide you with a detailed aftercare guide to ensure your brows heal beautifully!
7. How often is a touch up needed for microblading?
Your first touch-up is recommended 4-6 weeks after the initial session. This helps to set the color and shape. After that, a yearly touch-up is ideal to maintain that flawless eyebrow shaping.
8. How long does microblading last?
On average, microblading can last anywhere from 1-3 years. However, factors like skin type, exposure to sun, skincare routines, and more can influence its longevity.
A healthy lifestyle can indirectly affect the longevity of your microblading results. Staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and not smoking can be beneficial.
You should also avoid using anti-aging creams or products with glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and retinoids as they can accelerate the fading of the pigment.
9. Why should you consider microblading?
Microblading is also often used to fill in sparse areas and can camouflage certain types of scars. If you’re someone who desires fuller, more defined brows without the daily hassle of filling them in, then Microblading is for you! Not only does it save time, but it also ensures you have on-point brows every day. Woohoo!
