A special hand tool is used to make extremely fine cuts into the skin, giving the illusion of real, natural looking hair. It is a fabulous procedure for those with sparse hair, no hair or just to simply define and enhance the natural brow and shape.
The tool mimics the look of a calligraphy pen, with a blade consisting of tiny microneedles secured to the tip, which is dipped into the chosen pigment color, and very fine cuts are stroked into the skin, one dip and stroke at a time. This process is called micropigmentation. With the proper technique, microbladed eyebrow results look beautiful and completely natural. In order to achieve the best possible healed results, it’s imperative that the after care instructions are adhered to.
The pigment used for microblading has an iron oxide base. Iron oxide has been a popular ingredient in cosmetics like foundation, blush, lipstick, and eye shadow for decades. An iron oxide base allows the color to softly fade over time and will eventually vanish. The pigment used for microblading isn’t implanted into the skin as deeply compared to the depth used for permanent cosmetic procedures. The proper depth for the color to be implanted during the microblading procedure is the upper layer of the dermis. If the microstroke doesn't go deep enough, the color retention will be poor, and if it's too deep, it causes scarring and the healed strokes look blurry instead of fine and crisp. The pigment being implanted to the correct depth, combined with it’s iron oxide base is what gives microblading results the appearance of natural looking eyebrows.
