In clear terms, microblading is a cosmetic process done manually to boost the look of your hair and give it that more-defined and fuller appearance. This process is not a permanent one, but it is one that will last for a long time. It can last for as long as an average period of 1 to 3 years.
The process of eyebrows microblading is a very subtle one with very close attention to details and accuracy. Anyone in charge of the process ensures that no mistake is made and every single incision is done with utmost care and precision.
In all, eyebrow microblading, unlike tattooing, is a careful process with an eye for symmetry, thickness, coloration, and form as necessary elements to generate that stunning and fuller look for your eyebrows.
However, microblading should only be performed by professionals: if somebody who is not completely trained in the process was to perform it, they could cause significant damage to your skin or the eyebrow’s root, which prevents hair growth.
Remember, hairs naturally fall from your brows and lashes as part of their growth cycle, otherwise, you’d have far too much going on up there – it is normal to see a little bit of fallout during everyday life and nothing to freak out about.
If you’re experiencing hair loss, it is more likely to be down to hormonal changes or deficiencies in your body, as well as any recent changes in your skincare routine, diet, or medication taking.
There are rumors circulating the Internet that microblading results in major brow fallout – you probably heard the rumor there yourself, and that’s why you’re asking! But rest assured, if you go to a reputable esthetician, you won’t have to worry about it.
Will getting microblading done affect your natural hair growth? The answer is not necessarily, but only if done properly. It can actually do the opposite and stimulate hair growth due to skin regeneration. Once the SPMU Artist has done their job, it’s up to you to do the rest. Microblading post-care is very important to the appearance and longevity of your new eyebrows. Make sure you do not let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch your eyebrow area for 1 week post-procedure. If you are washing your face (especially in the shower), carefully avoid the eyebrow area. Due to the skin regeneration process, itching and flaking may appear while you heal, but avoid excessively touching or applying any products or sweating during this time.
Avoid these activities for at least 1 week post-procedure:
- Practicing sports or exercising
- Swimming, hot sauna, jacuzzi, etc.
- Tanning
- Any other activity that may cause excess or increased sweating
