Microblading how long does it last? 10 top beauty steps for beauty NOOBS!

Microblading is an increasingly popular permanent makeup treatment of the moment. It gives more natural results than any other method, but it’s a skin procedure that can make you feel a bit uneasy if you aren’t expecting it.

These are the microblading steps you have been looking for, said with Jedi overtones!

Prior the Procedure

The microblading process starts with a consultation! They’re very important. We discuss everything you need to know about the treatment, what to expect and what will happen afterwards.

Artists need to assess their clients and figure out what skin type they are, as some of them would not be suitable for microblading. Additionally, it is important to ask the client for a medical report to see if they are undergoing therapy or take any medications which are contraindications for microblading.

That’s also why we need to educate our clients about the “healing time” and not make unrealistic promises. I don’t know about you, but some of them completely freak out after getting the procedure done. But here’s what I tell them: the result can be evaluated only in 2-3 months when the brows have healed.

Newbie artists usually give consultations for free. However, more established and busier artists may charge a consultation fee.

1st Step – Photographs

The process involves taking a series of photos to illustrate the transformation before and after, highlighting the big difference that microbladed eyebrows make. Microblading is an incredible treatment, as it can make the whole face light up! It lifts the eyes and makes them more open, which enhances your beauty.

2nd Step – Clean up

The artist would often clean the brows using special alcohol or products made just for them.

3rd Step – Numbness or Mapping?

As standard practice, different microblading artists do things differently. Some of them put the numbing cream on first and forego the need for anesthetic mapping. They argue that this leads to a longer numbness (or lack thereof) which is advantageous for clients.

Other artists will numb themselves first before mapping. They say this is because the numbing cream can make the pen not work properly, and cause it to lose the outline. However, if they numb themselves beforehand, it’s possible that they’ll start feeling sensation in their skin while doing an outline.

Bonus Tips for Microblade Students

Have your clients sit up when you are mapping their eyebrows. Sometimes, the way people’s brows look changes when they are lying down compared to when they are sitting so it’s a good idea to check if there is a need for another mapping before you complete the first one.

4th Step – Do the Paperwork!

In order to numb the area, it’s usually wrapped in plastic and the client is asked to wait for a few minutes for the numbing to work. If you come in with paperwork that needs filling out, most artists will ask you to do so while waiting. Alternatively, some artists might ask if you can bring in all your paperwork beforehand so they have time to fill it

5th Step – This is Often Referred to as the First Pass

The first step in microblading is the blade-application. An artist will now dip a blade into a specially mixed pigment to carefully outline the hair strokes.

6th Step – Pigmentation Work

1st, the pigment mask is applied to the entire brow and left on for a couple of minutes. Some artists prefer this because better retention requires saturation and adding multiple layers on top will yield better results.

7th Step – Additional Numbness

If the client is too sensitive to handle the pain, we provide a numbing cream that will lessen the pain. In cases where they don’t sufficiently numb to full effect, more of it can be added.

In this surgery, a different numbing cream is used — the one for pre-numb is not the same as the one that should be used when the skin is opened.

8th Step – 2nd Pass

The artist does one more pass to ensure superior pigment retention. This depends on a number of factors, but the number of passes will vary from client to client and procedure to procedure.

9th Step – Pigment Mask Again

Another pigment mask is then applied. This is optional and not every artist does this.

10th Step – Photos and Final Check!

The microblading process just isn’t done without a check-in pass. The artist will measure the brows once again to be sure they are perfect, cleansing the area and applying the healing balm to keep it healthy. Photos of your resultant brows will be taken at this stage so that you can look back on the process for future reference too.

Touch-ups are done on the scalp but to maintain a natural appearance, the hair is trimmed & feathered.

The importance of caring for your eyebrows after microblading has been stressed to so many patients but it’s not always enough. Artists usually provide a kit at the end of the procedure, with all the essential aftercare products. It also contains instructions that are crucial in order to prevent infection and maintain good healing progress

Conclusion

We’ll now take a closer look at the process of microblading. The key here is communication between the artist and client – it’s important for the client to be well-informed about what to expect and how to prepare for the procedure. The most successful way to tackle this would be to find an answer that satisfies both sides
