Microblading | The Perfect brow without the fuss

Are your brows thin, or nearly non-existent?  If so, you probably use a brow pencil or one of the newer brow gels to get that perfect look.  Those work but so what happens at the gym or if you decide to go for a swim?  Does your method of applying your brow hold up under these conditions? Or do you worry about your appearance during and after the event?  There's alternative solution you may want to try. Microblading Microblading has been around for 25 years with its origins in Asia.  It's only recently gained popularity in the United States. As the popularity grows, the techniques continue to improve.  Microblading creates natural looking brows because the ink is applied in a way so that each stroke represents a hair.  It's a wonderful option for cancer patients and others who have lost their eyebrows or have thinning eyebrows.  It's also a good option for those who just want fuller looking brows.  Just do a Google search for before and after photos to see the natural looking results offered by trained technicians. Those choosing microblading can have great looking brows after the first visit.  However a touch up session is recommended.  This ensures each stroke is well established after the healing process. You can expect each session takes about 1.5 hours.  The second session is done 6-8 weeks following the first application. Once your brows have healed, you can expect them to last for 1-3 years when proper care is taken.  They will fade over time but there are maintenance tips that help extend the life of your brows.  One important aspect to consider is minimizing your exposure to the sun (using sunscreen helps).  It is also recommended to avoid using facial cleansers in the brow area that have exfoliates.  Keeping these tips in mind will help the brows fade more slowly and naturally.   Getting touch ups about once a year is another recommended maintenance.  Even with touch ups,  you will eventually need to have the full process done again. Microblading vs Tattooing Microblading is cosmetic tattooing and is considered semi-permanent.  That's because microblading does fade with time.  It is recommended touch ups be done once year with a complete application .  Eyebrow tattooing uses a different technique
