Microblading eyebrows or eyebrow embroidery is a process where the artist draws feathery strokes in the place of natural brows so that the lines look like fine hairs. The strokes are made symmetrical and can be altered by your stylist for shade, thickness, appearance, and arch that will suit your face. Using a set of tools, the artist will be inserting pigment into the skin’s topmost surface and this is the reason this procedure is considered the same as having a tattoo but the results are temporary as compared to a tattoo. This is a much more delicate procedure done on a sensitive and small area on the face. Tattoo ink gets deposited much deeper into the skin that is why it lasts for a long period.

Procedure and time took to heal

During the first Microblading session, the entire process takes almost 3 hours. The brow technician will be shaping and styling the client’s brows and then the client needs to choose the pigment color and finally, the technician will begin the process of Microblading eyebrows in Miami. The client needs to follow up in case of minor touch-ups and the second session will take place after one month. This session will take a maximum of 2 hours to complete.

The eyebrow portion will be reddish after the session and color appear very dark. This is normal and is a part of the healing process. As the area heals, the color fades up to 40 percent and in the coming days, the eyebrows will remain dark and there will be slight scabbing. Avoid pricking the scabs as it damages the skin and you may not get the desired results. The eyebrows start lightening up in color as it heals. It will take a maximum of two weeks for the brows to heal and about four weeks for the color to set in. When the brows heal after two weeks, the color will be very light and the skin becomes opaque milky, which is also referred to as the milk skin, which is quite common in tattooing. This happens as the tissue is still healing even though the skin surface is healed. You can notice the true color once it is fully healed.

The necessity of touch up session and how long the pigments last

After 28 to 40 days, a touch session is essential as every individual heals differently and the result varies. Few areas will not pick up during the first session and needs to be refilled. Pigment color needs to be adjusted, more strokes and brow thickness have to be added. You have to attend touch up sessions for refining your brows to make sure it looks perfect and retain the color for a longer period.

At the time of Microblading eyebrows in Miami, the Microblading pigments are not implemented into the skin as deep as traditional tattoos, so the area will tend to fade with time. Depending on skin type, Microblading lasts for one to three years, so a touch up is required after 12 to 18 months.
