What do you need to know about Microblading?
On 11th April 2019 by Rabab KelaniMicroblading is becoming an incredibly popular treatment as more and more people like the natural results that it can offer.
What is the eyebrow microblading treatment? Eyebrow microblading (or eyebrow embroidery in Asia) is a relatively manual method, that does not use an advanced permanent makeup machine. In Egypt and the Middle East, eyebrow micorblading is widely known, and many artists are providing this treatment as the latest technique, even though it is not true. The digital permanent makeup, called “eyebrow micropigmentation” is the latest PMU technique in the world. Due to the lack of makeup artists who use advanced techniques, manual microblading is commonly used in Egypt.
Why microblading is not suitable for everyone?
There are some cases when the lady cannot get her eyebrows done by microblading technique:
- People with oily skin: Oily skin is a very common type of skin in Egypt and Arabic countries. Oily skin with big pores, or what is called “chicken skin,” has a very hard time getting crisp hair-strokes with a tendency to blur with excessive oil secretion. Microblading the blade cannot provide good results due to the limitations of manual hand pressures. Micropigmentation is more suitable and has best results for oily skin due to its super-fine needle and accuracy with pigmentation inside the skin layers.
- People with sensitive skin: If you have sensitive skin, you better avoid manual microblading. The manual technique might harm your skin and the blade used can leave scars on your eyebrows. Micropigmentations are more skin friendly as a super-fine needle is used, which helps to give you the best results without scars and is pain-free.
- People with traditional eyebrow tattoos: If you already have an old eyebrow tattoo, then manual microblading or digital micropigmentation is not suitable.
- People under certain types of medications: Increased bleeding tendency or Aspirin and Vitamin K medication.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: as with all permanent makeup procedures, none of it can be done to pregnant ladies or those who are still breastfeeding.
- Certain cases: include high blood pressure, skin problems like acne, broken capillaries and moles, Keratosis, and very dry skin.
For these several reasons, when a lady would like to have an eyebrow microblading technique; I always advise my clients to have micrpigementation as it has much better results from the 1st session and suitable for the Egyptian girls’ skin.
Consultation is important
Don’t apply any technique to your skin before doing research and consulting the makeup artists. I always ask my clients several questions to make sure we are on the safe side; I also check her skin type, and if she has a warm or cold blood type; so I know which pigment color to use.
Natural brows are the best
Noting that not all the ladies are good candidates for the eyebrow treatments; some of them just need to let their eyebrows grow and reshape them; they would have an extremely natural look. So don’t be hard on yourselves and give your natural eyebrows a chance! For all these reasons, I advise all the ladies to pass by for a free consultation before setting up microblading appointments.
