Microblading: A Guide to Restoring Your Natural Eyebrows
In the search for beauty and aesthetic perfection, microblading has positioned itself as a revolutionary technique to achieve defined, full eyebrows with an ideal shape. This procedure, which consists of the manual implantation of pigment in the most superficial layer of the skin through small incisions, has gained enormous popularity in recent years.
What is Microblading and how is it different from a traditional tattoo?
Microblading, often referred to as “semi-permanent makeup” or “hair-by-hair eyebrow tattoo,” uses a manual tool with micro-needles to create fine lines that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrow hair. Unlike traditional tattoos, where the ink is deposited in the deeper layers of the dermis, the pigment in microblading is implanted in the epidermis and the upper layer of the papillary dermis. This difference in the depth of implantation is the main reason why microblading is not considered a permanent tattoo and tends to fade over time, generally between 1 and 3 years, depending on various factors such as skin type, pigment used, and aftercare.
“Semi-Permanent” and its Implications
The label “semi-permanent” can be misleading. Although microblading does not last a lifetime like a traditional artistic tattoo, the pigment is introduced into the skin and, therefore, its removal requires a process similar to that of conventional tattoo removal—although it is often easier due to the shallower depth of the ink.
The Removal of Microblading: A Growing Service
Despite being designed to fade, the persistence of slight residual marks is a growing concern that drives many to seek its removal.
Fortunately, proven techniques for traditional tattoo removal, such as the Q-switched laser, have also proven to be highly effective against microblading pigments. Given the shallower depth of pigment implantation, the removal process is usually faster and requires fewer sessions compared to the removal of deep body tattoos.
Common reasons to remove microblading:
- Changes in beauty trends
- Unsatisfactory results
- Discoloration or migration of the pigment
- Allergic reactions or complications
- Personal decision
- Inexperienced professionals
Microblading Removal Techniques:
- Laser Removal: Laser is the most common and effective technique. The laser fragments the pigment particles in the skin, which are then eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. Several sessions are required for complete removal.
- Chemical Removal: Special solutions are used to extract the pigment from the skin. This technique can be an alternative for people who are not suitable candidates for laser removal.
- Surgical Removal: In rare cases or to correct small problem areas, surgical excision may be considered.
If you’re looking for the most recommended option with the highest success rate for removing microblading marks, Laser Removal stands out as the first and, in many cases, the best choice. It is the best option to safely fragment the pigment, allowing your own body to gradually eliminate it, making it the most common and reliable technique. Although it requires several sessions, the results are usually superior and more aesthetic compared to other alternatives.
