5 Things People Don't Know About Microblading

Want to know the truth about Eyebrow Microblading?

We have the insider scoop! Touted as one of the latest trends in the cosmetic industry, Eyebrow Microblading has become super popular in the last few years, and continues to be the top requested procedures for national med spas. Dive in and read on to discover the Top 5 Things People Don’t Know About Microblading.

1.) Microblading is not a tattoo. Eyebrow Microblading is a semi-permanent technique where I create hair like strokes with a small blade — hence the word “Micro-blading.” Some people ask if I’m inserting hair into the skin. Of course not! However, your microblading artist should be skilled enough to create strokes that mimics real hair. Microblading is 2 layers deep into the skin versus a tattoo, which is 7 layers deep. Personally, my end goal is for you to have natural looking results, which makes this service so very popular.

2.) Microblading is virtually painless! I’ve heard many horror stories about a client’s painful experience with Eyebrow Microblading. However, a knowledgeable and skilled artist will know what topical anesthetics to utilize. As a Registered Nurse, I’m very knowledgeable about topical aesthetics. Specifically at T. Alexandria Medical Spa, we create a positive atmosphere with absolutely no discomfort.

3.) With Microblading, everyone responds to the procedure differently! Not everyone will retain the pigment the same. Many different aspects can affect your results including skin type (oily vs. dry), medications, as well as your aftercare regimen. Please be sure to discuss your health history as well as your concerns with your Microblading artist, in addition to maintaining realistic expectations. Pay close attention to the proper after care instructions you receive from your artist.

4.) With Microblading, everyone requires a touch up. This is why at T. Alexandria, we include a complimentary touch up at 4-6 weeks. It’s very important to keep your 4-6 week touch up appointment. Going beyond the 6 weeks will decrease your long-lasting results. After your touch up, your results are expected to last 6-18 months.

5.) While Microblading is the solution to not having to fill in your eyebrows daily, you are still required to have them maintained for any hair that grows outside of the Microbladed brows. Microblading does not stop or decrease hair growth so continue to have them waxed, threaded or arched for perfection. We have noticed that clients have prolonged periods results and have low-maintenance with waxing and threading if they follow our care instructions.
