Microblading

Microblading (aka the modern form of eyebrow tattooing) is a form of permanent makeup that is used to fill in the brow. “The process is performed by creating defined, hair-like strokes in the brow using a needle and brow pigment ink. This process of inserting pigment into the skin’s upper layers allows you to alter the shape of your brows or make them appear thicker. All in all, the process takes about two hours. 

If you have alopecia or have gone through chemotherapy, microblading is a great, natural-looking option to fill in any sparse areas of the brow. Microblading is especially great for those with thin, sparse, or patchy brows. Though the procedure sounds a bit uncomfortable, a numbing solution is applied beforehand to minimize any pain. Then, like a normal tattoo, it requires time to heal (about four to six weeks), after which a touch-up might be needed. “The effects last up to 12 to 24 months, and after that time the pigment often fades, and a refresher might be needed.
