Features of the eyebrow microblading correction procedure

Eyebrows determine a girl's appearance. Changing their thickness and color affects perception. Bright and painted shapes have fallen out of favor. The natural look has become fashionable. A new procedure has been developed especially for those with sparse hair – eyebrow microblading.

Microblading is a technique of applying pigment to the eyebrow area.

General concept of eyebrow microblading

This is a technique for shaping eyebrows that makes them look like your own for a long time. Some people call the procedure manual permanent makeup. It differs from hardware in technology and the result obtained. Microblading does not apply an even color to the skin. Specialists make small incisions, and through them the desired area is filled with pigment. They look like hairs, so they seem natural.

Artists from all over the world have been doing microblading for about 10 years. The origins of technology come from China. At first, the technology was intended only for Asians and was different from modern technology. Later, microblading became popular among Europeans. Its founders in Russia were Natalya Krasnoperova and Irina Levchuk.

Indications for the procedure

Girls get microblading for a variety of reasons.

Main indications:

• different eyebrow shapes;
• dissatisfaction with their density, color;
• partial absence of hairs, scars.

Girls do microblading for different eyebrow shapes.

For some, hairs may be completely absent (for example, after chemotherapy).

Main advantages

Using a special device, the master makes small incisions on the skin. As a result, the client receives eyebrows without traces of coloring.

Microblading has many advantages, including the following:

• registration does not take much time;
• the procedure is done with a thin needle and does not cause pain;
• the risk of injury is minimized;
• the skin is quickly renewed;
• You can achieve the desired result after 1 time;
• the technology does not leave swelling.

Having done microblading, you can forget about makeup for a long time.

Benefits of manual tattooing

When micropigmenting eyebrows, a machine application method is not used; microblading can be done manually, which allows you to create a sophisticated eyebrow look that is as close to natural as possible.

When applying eyebrow microblading, an alternation of micro hairs is created using a coloring pigment.

It is important to know! The procedure is relatively new, so the cost of the services of highly qualified specialists is significant, but in the end the effect of cosmetic intervention will bring a stable result.

The popularity of the procedure is explained by a number of advantages:

• Takes a little time;
• Guarantees a minimum threshold of painful sensations, thanks to the thin needle blade;
• Creates minimal traumatic damage to the skin as a result of micro punctures;
• Short healing period for the damaged area;
• The effect is visible after the first procedure, as a result of applying a high-quality coloring composition;
• A natural and natural appearance of the eyebrows is ensured due to the shallow degree of penetration of the needle under the skin;
• Does not create swelling after the procedure;
• Is accessible to any age category;
• Minimum number of individual contraindications.

Note! By performing an eyebrow microblading procedure, you can get high-quality results for every day, allowing you to save time spent on personal care.

Execution techniques

There are several techniques for applying permanent makeup. Every girl will be able to choose the right one for herself.

Voloskovaya

The master draws individual hairs. This technique is suitable for changing shape and painting empty areas.

The hair technique is suitable for changing the shape of the eyebrows.

Shadow

Light shading is done: the lines that replace hairs are applied indistinctly.

Powder eyebrows

The pigment is shaded in such a way that it gives the impression that the eyebrows are painted with shadows. The strokes that replace the hairs are almost invisible. This type of microblading is suitable for fair-haired girls.

Powder eyebrows are a new permanent coloring technique.

6D

The procedure allows the specialist to apply fine lines to the skin.

European

The master draws lines of the same size. They all look in the same direction. As a result, emphasized eyebrows look well-groomed.

European microblading technology allows you to get thick eyebrows.

Eastern

The master applies strokes of different lengths and directions. Creates a light volume effect.

Techniques used

Microblading results look different for everyone. This depends on three factors:

1. The salon where microblading was performed. As elsewhere, a master can be caught unscrupulously. But there are very few of them in this area, because to get this skill you need to take a lot of courses and have a lot of experience.
2. Individual eyebrow shape and style. Everyone grows differently, which is why the results vary.
3. Technique. This point distinguishes between final effects.

6d microblading application technique:

1. Full painting. Another method is called shading. Here, every hair is not drawn, but the entire area is painted over with smooth transitions, creating the impression of painting with shadows. Eyebrows visually become thicker and darker. The advantage of this procedure is that it will always satisfy the customer. Masters working in this field know how to draw out an eyebrow in a high-quality manner, because it is much easier than drawing each hair on your own.
2. Drawing each hair. The difficulty with this method is that you need to choose the right shade so that the end result looks harmonious and matches your natural hair color. And its advantage is that you can add additional hairs not only to the eyebrow itself, but also beyond. With this you can change the shape: make a sharp bend, increase the length or width. The hairs are drawn in different directions, which distinguishes this technique from eyebrow hair tattooing.

Both techniques look impressive and natural. And their cost does not differ much, since in the first case more pigment is spent, and in the second, more skill of the master.

Rules for choosing a good master

Choosing a master is the most important step. His skills influence the final result. You shouldn't trust the first one you come across.

Portfolio

It speaks of experience and skill. The more examples of work in your portfolio, the lower the risk of getting hired by a non-professional. It is also worth paying attention to whether it contains photographs of work a month after the procedure. They allow you to evaluate the quality of the service.

The portfolio speaks about the experience of the master.

Reviews

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a specialist, it is recommended to read reviews about his work. You can find them on your personal website or on social networks.

If you have any doubts, you can write to past clients of the master. They will have the answer to all your questions.

Diplomas and certificates

Good specialists undergo training. Upon completion, each of them receives a document confirming their level of qualification.

Good specialists have certificates.

Service cost

If a master charges too little for his services, you should think about his level of qualifications. Microblading doesn't have to be cheap.

Compliance with sanitary standards

When entering the office, the first thing you need to pay attention to is order. In addition, it is worth asking how instruments are sterilized.

Popular technique

Soft eyebrow tattooing (shading) is the most popular and universal method of permanent makeup. Using this method, you can tint both the entire area and some areas, as well as correct the curve of the eyebrow and give it the desired shape. In addition, your eyebrows will look natural, and others will think that you skillfully tinted them with a pencil. Due to the fact that there are no clear contours when applying the permanent, the result of soft shading is natural and neat. The pigment fills the entire eyebrow area, that is, it completely covers the existing gaps, but does not have bright lines. If done well, the result will resemble professional makeup.

The result largely depends on the experience of the master. Not everyone can do a soft eyebrow tattoo (shading) without a sketch and preliminary sketches. But it's not worth the risk. It’s better to let the master draw the contour necessary for the procedure on your face. This will simplify his work, and the sketch will disappear from the eyebrow area after complete regeneration of the skin in this area. And to be sure that this will actually happen, ask the master (although he himself should know about this) to add a little diluent to the main dye. The resulting solution will be enough to completely microblade your eyebrows. People's reviews of this technique say that after 12 or 18 months the color of the eyebrows becomes paler. But experts say that this behavior of the shade depends on exposure to the sun or when using a pigment with iron oxide. In order to prevent this disadvantage in advance, you can ask the master to add a small amount of light stabilizers to the paint. But be prepared for the fact that the eyebrow color will become darker and will not change over time. The shading technique takes no more than 40 minutes. During the entire procedure, you will not experience any pain, as an anesthetic will be applied to this area. But such a guarantee can only be given if you have chosen a good salon and an experienced technician. The skin healing process reaches 7 days. The first few days your eyebrows may scare you with their rich color, so experts recommend doing the procedure before the weekend. Do not try to peel off the dried crust yourself; over time, it will fall off on its own, and you will enjoy the natural result.

Preparatory activities and compliance with recommendations

The shape and color are chosen by the master together with the client.

The following color options are recommended:

1. Blondes – gray or brown tones.
2. Red – dark brown and copper.
3. For brunettes – gray-black and brown.

Brown eyebrows suit blondes.

Professionals suggest tones slightly darker than the chosen one. This is done because after healing the color becomes less saturated.

In addition, the shade fades over time. The brighter it is initially, the longer it will last. After choosing a color, you need to prepare for the microblading itself.

Before applying the pigment it is recommended:

1. Do not take antibiotics: they prevent the paint from taking root.
2. Avoid alcohol: it thins the blood. This leads to a deterioration in the final result.
3. Refrain from visiting the solarium. Ultraviolet rays make the skin rougher, so the shade may apply unevenly.
4. Do not pluck hairs. The specialist will make the correction himself.
5. Don't drink coffee.

All advice is important. An experienced specialist will certainly remind you of them.

How is microblading performed?

How is microblading done? All manipulations are carried out in a beauty salon. When planning to undergo such a procedure, it is very important to assess compliance with aseptic and antiseptic conditions and to clarify what materials and dyes the cosmetologist uses. Are they disposable, are there quality certificates?

The microblading process includes several sequential steps:

1. Coordination and drawing of the shape of future eyebrows.
2. Discussion of the appropriate shade, which is chosen based on the girl’s color type, the color of her hair, eyes, skin. For red-haired women, shades of copper and dark brown would be ideal. Pale brown tones, wheat and ash colors are suitable for blondes. A brunette should prefer brown and shades of black. As a general rule: brunettes choose a color a couple of tones darker than the shade of their hair, and vice versa for blondes.
3. The exposed surface is degreased with a special composition and treated with an antiseptic solution.
4. A numbing agent is applied during the work process. Most often, this is a special cream “Emla”.
5. After 20 minutes, the cream begins to act, it is removed and the skin is re-disinfected.
6. The master opens the blade, packed in an individual bag, with which the cuts will be made.
7. To get straight lines during cuts, the master can use a pattern.
8. The whole procedure lasts up to an hour and a half: during this time the woman will have to lie with her eyes half-closed.
9. At the end of the exposure, the area of ​​the superciliary arches is subjected to re-treatment with an antiseptic. It is sprayed with a spray that accelerates the healing process.

Microblading can be used even over old tattoos. These manipulations are allowed when the old coating has already faded and taken on a yellow, orange or red tint. In addition, it is important that the eyebrow is not wide. If these requirements are not met, you should first undergo pigment removal using laser equipment. Only after time, when the skin has healed, can new manipulations be carried out.

You can evaluate the achieved result after three weeks, when the skin has completely healed. After this period, correction is carried out: these are manipulations with the help of which the master corrects the shortcomings that have arisen, fills in the gaps, and corrects the contour.

How the procedure is performed: main stages and duration

Microblading includes several stages.

Expert consultation

The master tells his clients all the details. The girls look at examples of work, ask questions about pain, results and duration of the effect.

The master can tell you about the result.

Creating a Sketch

A sketch of the new form is made with a special pencil. Taking into account the volume and density, each hair is drawn. The sketch is discussed with the client and adjusted if necessary. The work will be carried out until the desired result is achieved. At the same stage, the paint color is selected.

After this, a final sketch is created, which will later be recreated.

Anesthesia

Although microblading is painless, artists still use painkillers. They are applied around the eyebrow and the client begins to feel numbness in this area. To reduce discomfort, it is recommended to apply the product both before and during the procedure.

Experts use painkillers.

Performing microblading

After the painkiller has taken effect, the pigment is applied. Each hair is drawn out carefully and in exact accordance with the sketch.

At the end of the procedure, the master talks about how to care for your eyebrows after microblading.

Beauty lessons: a little about eyebrows

Many girls often underestimate the role of eyebrows. In addition to their initial preventive function, they emphasize our attractiveness and individuality. And by choosing the right shape for them, we choose the image of our appearance, making it more expressive. Let's face it, eyebrows can make or break our face. It all depends on the form. If we make the wrong choice, it will add several years to us or increase (reduce) some facial features. Eyebrow fashion, like the fashion industry, is constantly changing. If previously thin ones were popular, now they have been replaced by thick, corrected and natural ones. To achieve the desired result, many resort to modern salon procedures such as tattooing and eyebrow microblading.

Proper eyebrow care after: prohibitions and restrictions

Eyebrows heal within a week after microblading.

Care instructions:

1. During the first 24 hours, eyebrows should not be wetted or touched with hands. There may be slight swelling near the application area, which will subside the next day.
2. For a week you will have to give up going to the beach, solarium, or sauna. The same rule applies to decorative cosmetics.
3. It is better not to peel in the next 14 days.
4. If a crust appears, it should not be wetted or torn off. It will dry out and fall off on its own.

You can fully evaluate how the pigment has settled after healing - in a month.

Care products

In order for the results to last for 2 years, you need to carefully care for your eyebrows. Immediately after the procedure, the master applies a healing ointment to the skin. It does not need to be removed within 3 hours. Afterwards you can wash your face with warm water and foam or gel. You can’t dry yourself with a towel; it’s better to blot your face with a napkin.

Healing ointment should be applied to the eyebrows.

To get rid of pain and swelling, Vaseline is applied the first day after washing. This must be done at least 3 times.

The next day, you can wash your face with your usual product, but you must continue to smear your skin with Vaseline. This is done until the crust completely falls off, on average 9 days.

After microblading, small wounds form. To avoid inflammation, it is recommended to wipe them with a chlorhexidine solution. If this is not done, the crust may pull out the pigment and there will be no result. After 3 days, the color becomes bright and the peeling process begins.

The affected area must be constantly moistened. A suitable remedy is Bepanten cream. It is applied to the eyebrows at the first sign of dryness.

Additionally, you can make a mask from an infusion of mint or chamomile with linseed oil. Herbs soothe the skin and promote its restoration.

How does the eyebrow microblading procedure work?

Let's take a closer look at how eyebrow microblading works:

1. At the beginning of the procedure, the master cleanses and degreases the skin with special products.
2. A gel with an anesthetic effect is applied to the eyebrows, as pain is possible.
3. The area where the pigment is introduced is treated with an antiseptic.
4. The master combs the hairs and determines the desired shape of the eyebrows.
5. At this stage, the actual process of introducing the pigment under the skin using a disposable instrument occurs.
6. After the procedure is completed, the microblading area must be disinfected again in order to reduce the risk of infection, as well as relieve swelling and fix the color.

The stages of the procedure may vary slightly. But in any case, it is necessary to monitor the sterility and quality of cosmetic services.

Duration of effect

The effect lasts 1.5-2 years. The exact period depends on the characteristics of the leather and the quality of the materials used. After this time, the pattern begins to lighten and disappear.

The duration of the effect depends on the characteristics of the skin.

The first correction is done in a month. By this time, the eyebrows have completely healed and the pigment is fully visible. The specialist will clearly see in which places the drawing needs to be corrected. In the next few months, 1 more correction may be needed.

The procedure can be repeated after a year, without waiting for the pigment to disappear completely.

Why is correction needed?

Every girl who has had microblading needs a correction to highlight the result. The primary correction takes place after a recovery period when the microblading area has completely healed.

In this case, skin regeneration occurs in ten days, and during the rest of the month the pigment is saturated and acquires its permanent appearance, which it remains in the future.

Editing deadlines are set during the main session. A month is usually counted from its date and a session is scheduled that the female representative must attend.

Correction is necessary so that the cosmetologist can evaluate the work done and correct defects:

1. Uneven color. This may occur due to improper handling of the scab during epidermal repair. That is, during the rehabilitation of the skin from damage during the provision of services, the integrity of the protective layer must not be violated, otherwise an infection will penetrate into it and a negative consequence will result, which will affect the result and the health of the client. As a result, an infectious disease forms, which contributes to the premature removal of paint. The consequence is corrected by additional application of pigment.
2. Asymmetry of the sides. This is a mistake by the master, which he might not have noticed when he applied the drawing. By nature, girls' eyebrows are different: one is higher than the other. But the specialist must correct this difference by visually raising one of the eyebrows. If this was not done, after microblading such natural asymmetry becomes more noticeable.
3. Changing dye color. This may be affected by improper care or poor quality of the material used. In this case, the color may become lighter, or a different shade will appear - pink or blue. Such casts occur due to the use of low-quality pigment in creating the design.

If a woman notices other defects that have formed in the area of ​​eyebrow microblading, she should inform the specialist about this so that he can correct the side effects and the result will look neat.

Corrections are also used when microblading begins to fade. The color fades after a year or a year and a half. This time is considered optimal for corrections. If you don't make any corrections, the tone will gradually fade, leaving natural hairs underneath.

Comparison with alternative techniques

There are different ways to create beautiful eyebrows. Differences can be traced in almost everything: in the pigments used, the depth of their introduction and the technique of execution.

Tattoo

For tattooing, a chemical pigment is used, which is injected to a depth of 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm. During the procedure, girls experience severe pain. The effect lasts for more than 3 years. Depending on the characteristics of the skin, it can remain for life. Tattooing severely injures the skin because the needle is inserted too deeply.

The tattoo is injected deep into the skin.

Nanospraying

This is one of the safest techniques. The difference between it and microblading is that not small incisions are made on the skin, but small dots. After complete healing, it appears as if the eyebrows were painted with shadows or a pencil.

Permanent makeup

Permanent makeup allows you to create a pattern of the desired size and color on the skin. This can be achieved by introducing dye into the upper layer of the skin. The procedure is carried out using a special machine with a hollow needle. Its disadvantage is that if the device fails, the eyebrow may turn out uneven.

Cost and safety of correction

The correction procedure is the same as the first application of the shade. Most often, it costs half the price of the initial service . Depending on which master you contact, the final price is determined. Some masters initially set a price that includes the correction procedure. This ensures that the client will return for additional services in the future.

And:

• What is better microblading or permanent makeup?
• How much does a good eyebrow microblading really cost?
• When the procedure should not be performed, contraindications.

How the procedure works

The master applies a special pigment to the place of the one that has worn off or acquired the wrong shade. On average, if the client complies with all care conditions, the procedure does not take more than three hours. If the correction is performed after a long period, then all the hairs are drawn anew. In this case, payment is made for the entire microblading procedure. The care process is the same as after the initial procedure.

The correction has the same period - up to one year . If the client did not like the previous result, the master will create a new design. You can also skip the correction and just wait until the pigment completely disappears. If the result is not at all what was required, it can only be reduced with a laser.

Correction and microblading require compliance with all safety standards and regulations. The client is injected with a painkiller if the procedure is too painful. After the correction, a month later, the client should also appear at the specialist. This allows you to track the result and determine the approximate timing of the next correction.

Main contraindications

Before doing microblading, you need to familiarize yourself with the contraindications.

The procedure is prohibited if:

• diabetes mellitus;
• damage to the skin near the eyebrows (microblading can be done after it has completely healed);
• elevated temperature;
• poor blood clotting;
• diseases transmitted through blood (hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, herpes);
• allergies to paint.

The procedure is prohibited if you have diabetes.

To find out if you have an allergy, you need to do a test. Pigment is applied to the skin. If you experience unpleasant sensations, you will have to refuse microblading.

Contraindications to the procedure

There is a list of contraindications for microblading:

• absolute (if you have certain diseases and conditions, the procedure is taboo for you);
• relative (temporary or those that under certain conditions the master can bypass).

Allergy is an absolute contraindication to the introduction of pigment into the skin or the application of an anesthetic that causes a violent reaction in the body. But a specific dye or painkiller. If the master is ready to work with you, you can choose a substance that your body will accept calmly.

We will divide the remaining contraindications into the indicated groups.

Absolute contraindications

You should forget about microblading if you have:

• blood diseases associated with poor clotting (hemophilia);
• diseases leading to impaired skin regeneration (diabetes mellitus, tendency to form keloids);
• infectious diseases (AIDS, HIV, syphilis, viral hepatitis);
• convulsive conditions (epilepsy);
• severe mental disorders;
• cancer;
• serious diseases of internal organs in the stage of decompensation.

Don't despair if microblading is contraindicated for you. Discuss with the master techniques that can replace “eyebrow embroidery.”

Relative contraindications

This group of prohibitions is temporary and not as strict as the previous one. But you should still refrain from microblading:

1. If you are taking anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (blood thinners). Stop taking the medications, wait 1-2 weeks and you can go to the specialist for new eyebrows.
2. If you are planning a pregnancy, get beautiful eyebrows before conception. If you weren't aware of your situation and got a tattoo, don't worry. Nothing bad happened. If you know that you are expecting a child, postpone the procedure.
3. During breastfeeding (breastfeeding).
4. During menstrual bleeding.
5. During treatment with antibiotics.
6. In the acute period of infectious diseases.
7. With exacerbation of somatic pathologies.
8. In case of increased body temperature, regardless of the cause of the condition.
9. After drinking alcohol.
10. For injuries and skin diseases at the site of tattooing.

Before microblading, be sure to discuss contraindications with the specialist and listen to recommendations. So that after the procedure the result brings the expected satisfaction.

Negative aspects of microblading

Despite the benefits, microblading also has its downsides.

These include:

• there are many contraindications;
• without the use of anesthesia, the procedure will seem painful;
• You will still have to take care of your eyebrows - moisturize, pluck out excess hairs and make corrections;
• the first days after the procedure you need to limit your activity;
• the cost of the procedure is high;
• if you don’t like the result, it won’t be easy to get rid of it;
• your hair may be damaged.

There is nothing complicated in the procedure, and the result obtained cannot but rejoice. The main thing is to properly care for the treated area.

Reviews from girls about the procedure

Tatyana, 28 years old, Vladimir: “The first thing to do is to take a responsible approach to choosing a master. If the specialist is good, the procedure will not leave any scars.”

Irina, 23 years old, Moscow: “Microblading is a gentle procedure. The paint is made from natural materials, so you don’t have to worry about side effects. With proper care, neat eyebrows will delight you for a long time.”
