Microblading Surrey

What is Microblading?

Microblading is one of the techniques used to implant pigment into the skin. This method creates very fine hair strokes, which are etched into the skin using extremely fine needles. The result is beautifully subtle and natural. For certain skin types, Microblading may not be a suitable option and I will decide once I have accessed your skin, as to whether or not this is the treatment for you. There are other techniques which might suit you better.

Microblading, an enchanting technique for pigment implantation, offers striking results initially, particularly on untouched skin. However, before embarking on this treatment, it is crucial to consider several important factors:

  • Initial Impact on Virgin Skin: Microbladed strokes showcase unparalleled crispness on virgin skin, devoid of any prior tattooing.

  • Evolution of Strokes: With time and subsequent top-up sessions, the prominence of the strokes diminishes, leading to a gradual transition to a "powder brow" appearance. The continuous regeneration of skin cells in and around the tattooed area contributes to a softening and blurring effect on the original strokes.

  • Skin Moisture Level: The longevity of the hairstroke effect is influenced by the skin's moisture content, with drier skin preserving the strokes for a longer duration.

  • Skin Type Considerations: Oily skin or skin prone to redness may expedite the blurring of strokes, resulting in an earlier manifestation of the "powder brow" look compared to dry skin.

  • Permanence of Microblading: Microblading, like other pigment implantation techniques, falls under the tattoo category, emphasizing its permanence. Referred to as a "Permanent Makeup Artist," I highlight that while top-ups refresh the appearance, the accumulated color persists unless removed through laser removal. Post-laser removal healing allows for potential re-implantation of pigment.

  • Pigment Intensity: The intensity of the microblading effect is directly proportional to the darkness of the implanted pigment. Lighter shades cannot be used to lighten the color, and dark microblading may gradually fade to an ashy tone.

  • Color Variations: Darker pigments may experience a fade down to an ashy tone, while warmer pigments can evolve into a reddish hue over time.

  • Cautionary Note: If a practitioner provides information contrary to the points mentioned above, caution is advised.

  • Tattooing Realities: Tattooing is not an exact science, and individual healing processes vary. Prospective clients should weigh the decision to undergo any tattoo treatment carefully. Despite meticulous care during the procedure, results are never guaranteed to be 100% predictable.
