Microblading
Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of eyebrows by creating natural-looking, hair-like strokes using a semi-permanent pigment. It’s ideal for those who want fuller, well-defined brows without daily makeup.
How Microblading Works
- A handheld tool with tiny needles deposits pigment into the skin, mimicking natural eyebrow hairs.
- The pigment is placed in the upper layers of the skin (epidermis), making it semi-permanent.
- The procedure takes about 2-3 hours, with minimal discomfort.
Benefits of Microblading
- Fuller, more defined brows
- Saves time on daily makeup
- Waterproof and sweat-proof
- Lasts 1-3 years with touch-ups
- Suitable for thinning, over-plucked, or sparse brows
