Microblading

Microblading of the eyebrows is a process also known as Eyebrow Embroidery and/or Eyebrow Feathering, is a type of Semi-Permanent Makeup, which is performed  by using a handheld tool called Microblading Pen which is composed of 6-18 microneedles placed in the shape of a blade.  Microblading is a hand technique, does not require a machine.

With the tip of the Microblading Pen,  the pigment is picked and then embedded into the  outermost skin layer of the eyebrows epidermis.  

Microblading allows to achieve fine, crisp, most natural looking hair strokes and last up to 2 years.  Microblading prevents any unwanted spilling of ink because the pigment is  implanted very superficially and does not penetrate the dermis which means no bleeding. The color will last up to 2 years and then it will gradually fade away. Microblading allows to fully restore the eyebrows and is suitable for people with alopecia , thyroid disorder and/or other conditions which cause a hair loss.  The pigment is individually selected to match each client’s individual eyebrow color. The results are incredibly realistic, perfectly shaped and fuller looking eyebrows.

Steps of the process:

1. Consultation with the client
2. Review of contraindications to the procedure. Informed consent to be signed by the clients. (See Attachments)

Microblading Pen with U-Microneedle Assembly (Single use only, Sterile):

Permanent makeup (PMU) or micropigmentation is a process of depositing hypoallergenic mineral pigments into the epidermal layer of the skin. With ultra-fine needle and high quality pigments this method allows to enhance the appearance of the eyebrows, lips and to  create an eyeliner, glossy lips, eyebrow hairstrokes and eyebrow shadow.

Micropigmentation is often wrongly confused with cosmetic tattoos (e.g. eyebrow tattoos or eyeliner tattoos). Unlike the tattoos, the  pigments used  in the process of Micropigmentation are implanted very superficial,  therefore it is temporary and  lasts  up to 2 years and then the pigments fade away.

Micropigmentation eyebrow creates a very natural look of pencil shaded eyebrows.  See the video below.

PMU may be a great option for people allergic to regular makeup, those who wear contact lens  or glasses and or have  sensitive eye as well as sports active people.
