Permanent Makeup

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation, refers to a collection of tattoo-pigment based treatments for persons who want to look their best, but save time from their daily makeup and facial routines. The most common techniques are manual microblading, microshading and lip blushing and are used for the treatment of eyebrows and lips.

Microblading

Manual microblading is a relatively new method gaining popularity across the globe. It is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a semi-permanent tattoo dye, tools and techniques to achieve the appearance of fuller and precisely shaped eyebrows.

Unlike a tattoo, microblading uses a manual handheld tool with tiny needles at the end to create the shape of a small blade (a microblade). This tool enables fine, micro-strokes to mimic individual hairs, therefore, giving a very realistic and natural look, regardless of the amount of hair present.

Microshading

Microshading is sometimes referred to as powder brows or ombre brows. It has more of a powdery, soft, drawn outlook than microblading. Similar to microblading, it is also a form of semi-permanent makeup that involves shading eyebrows by making fine, minute dots along the brow area using a single, sterile needle attached to an electronic tattoo device. 

During this procedure shading gradually builds up color and a defined outline eventually giving a shaded look.

Commonly Asked Questions About Microblading

Microshading

Microblading Vs Microshading

These are similar procedures. Both are considered semi-permanent, however, Microshading lasts longer than microblading; up to 5 years. Microblading may last between 12 & 18 months, depending on your dermal lifestyle.

Microshading is great for those with sensitive skin. It is also perfect if you have oily skin. This is because unlike in Microblading, the pigment goes in deeper through the small, pinpoint dots created by the needle, allowing the pigment to set better.

If you love the look of filled-in brows, this is for you. If you also have damaged brows due to excessive tweezing or plucking, then brow shading is a good choice.

A technician will use a sharp blade to cut tiny hair-like strokes into the brow bone during the tattoo-esque experience to imitate natural hair and deposit pigment underneath the skin, so it is vitally important that the skin can handle treatment in this region.

Retinol is a type of vitamin A found in many skin care products. Please review the products you use in your skincare regimen. The benefit of retinol is that it increases in the development of collagen, which is the number one anti-aging ally.

However, the greatest drawback though is the fact that it dries up the skin and makes it flaky, which will make your microblading fade. The earlier new skin cells replace old skin cells, the faster they disappear. Frequent retinol use reduces the duration of this procedure by half.

It is also advised that exfoliating acids or retinol should not be used before microblading for at least four weeks. During microblading, acids and retinol may thin or sensitize your skin and may cause your skin to tear and aggravate.
