Eyebrow micropigmentation: procedure description, contraindications and feedback

In connection with the increasing demand for permanent makeup procedures, many novice masters, having bought a cheap machine and a handful of needles from Asia, expect to earn “immediately and a lot”. Their training is limited, as a rule, to a couple of hours spent in the kitchen with a familiar master, and the “practical” work is a few lines “drawn” on a banana peel, vaguely resembling the contours of eyebrows or lips. There are many examples of the deplorable results of the work of such early masters.
What is the cause of these failures?
Micropigmentation as a mechanical process takes, as a rule, only half the time spent on the procedure as a whole.
What is the rest of the time?
Pre-procedure conversation and agreement
Many masters and beauty salons, unfortunately, do not pay enough attention to a very important point - a pre-procedural consultation, during which information is exchanged between the master and the client and an agreement is drawn up between them.
The client should receive answers to all his questions, information about the procedure and possible complications. This information should be simple and clear, regardless of the level of education of the client and his knowledge in the field of micropigmentation.
A good specialist does not hide his diplomas and certificates confirming serious training; if necessary, he gives the client the opportunity to view photos of his work (before and after the procedures) reflecting his work style and level of qualification.
The main purpose of the pre-procedure conversation is to find out the client’s wishes, to help him with the choice, to offer the most suitable option for him. Practice shows that if the client trusts the master, he agrees with the professional advice on the correction of the shape and color of the makeup.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to draw up an agreement between the client and the master, which lists in written form the chronic diseases transferred by the client, the results of tests for AIDS and hepatitis, the presence of allergies in history.
The agreement must also indicate the address and name of the client, the name of the procedure and its cost, the numbers of the dyes used, describe the processes that will occur in the pigmentation zone after the procedure, and what the tattoo will look like in a day, in 5 days, in 3-4 weeks
In the absence of a written agreement, beginners often have problems with clients. Photos before and after, and even better - an additional intermediate photograph of the sketch in pencil will help to avoid possible trouble.
An experienced and responsible master, as a rule, makes an agreement, since in this way he insures himself and the client against trouble.

It is very important to carefully carry out a preliminary sketch of permanent makeup. Inadequate mastery of the art of make-up is fraught with an asymmetrical pattern, especially in the area of ​​eyebrows and lips. It is possible to correct such errors, but it is better to do this before the procedure than after it.
The ability to draw "by eye" -) is a good gift of nature for the master of permanent makeup, but it is always necessary to check the accuracy of the drawing lines, as well as the optical symmetry of the client's face.
Properly performed permanent makeup, taking into account the type of face and the client's wishes, can successfully replace plastic surgery. For example, you can optically enlarge thin lips, visually align the asymmetry, make small I more expressive.
The greatest scope for fantasy when creating a new image is the area of ​​the eyebrows. A new shape of eyebrows, modeled depending on the location of the eyes (close, normal or widely set), allows you to significantly change the facial expression that customers usually take with delight.
Unfortunately, often “Do not spend time” wizards on drawing and adjusting the preliminary contour, rarely control the height of the initial and final points of the eyebrows, perform a pattern of the eyebrow arc without taking into account the individuality of the client.

This is the main problem of many, only beginners, masters.
Correctly chosen pigment does not cause “color transformation”, as “red” eyebrows and “blue” lips are an absolute sign of insufficient master knowledge in color, the most difficult area of ​​permanent makeup.
Often this is the result of adding black pigment to the base color: an inexperienced master tries in this way to make the final tone darker, hoping to carry out the procedure faster.
The definition of the skin type and the selection of the appropriate pigment should not be given to the occasion and intuition, therefore the master must have the necessary knowledge.
The individual skin tone is determined by the ratio in it of three colors: brown, yellow and red. It is necessary to consider the features of the refraction of light on the skin and the perception of color by the human eye. For identification of the client's skin, stylists, makeup artists and colorists work with approximately 150 color plates.
For permanent makeup masters, special compact test kits have been developed that greatly facilitate the pigment selection process.

Hygiene and disinfection.

The hygienic aspect of the procedure is an integral part of high-quality permanent makeup.
The following requirements are met:
• make mandatory disinfection of all equipment, surfaces and objects in the workplace (especially those that the master touched with gloves during the procedure) with special preparations that exclude the possibility of contracting AIDS and hepatitis,
• use only disposable gloves and dispose of them immediately after the procedure,
• use disposable cups for pigments,
• use only disposable needles, dispose of them immediately after the procedure in containers designed for this purpose, and in no case should you choose BaTb bottles in baskets and containers for household garbage,
• put a disinfectant on your hands before putting on gloves,
• open all sterile packed consumables in front of the client,
• dispose of cotton pads, sticks immediately after their use,
• towels, bedspreads washable at 900,
• do not use when you design the cabinet floor carpet,
• do not use in the design of the cabinet of living plants (the earth is an ideal breeding ground for fungi and bacteria)
Gauze bandage is optional, but desirable
A neat and well-organized workplace speaks about the qualifications and style of the work of the master, has a client to trust.
Often, masters save on hygiene products: even at exhibitions and other presentation events they carry out work without gloves or use disposable gloves several times, working with different clients, without thinking about the possible consequences.
Some masters reuse disposable needles to correct permanent makeup. In this case, the progressive reproduction of bacteria in H-4 weeks (the time from the first session to the correction) will certainly lead to infection.
For experienced professionals, the health of the client is a priority, so they never save on hygiene products and know that their reputation depends on the outcome of the procedure.
The procedure of permanent makeup is a great opportunity to change the image, emphasize the natural beauty, correct the asymmetry. For pragmatists, this is an extra half hour of daily sleep by saving time on everyday makeup and the ability to look great while playing sports, in the sauna, pool, on the beach, this is the best way to emphasize your individuality for those who wear glasses.
The procedure of permanent makeup, performed by a professional with the latest technology, using high-quality equipment, certified pigments is certainly quite expensive. But it makes sense for the client to think that in the next few years he will have to see the results of the procedure in the mirror daily. The choice of a competent master cannot in any case be given to the occasion, it is better to be guided by recommendations.

What is micropigmentation?

Eyebrow micropigmentation (or microblading) can rightly be called a reconstruction. As confirmed by enthusiastic clients who have undergone this procedure, every hair is carefully drawn and looks incredibly natural. The main difference from the usual tattoo is that the eyebrow is not completely painted in one color. The equipment for this technique is also different, the tattoo is done manually with the help of a special tool resembling a scapula with several disposable microscopic needles.

Another positive difference from the classic tattoo, according to experts, is the depth at which the pigment is introduced. In microblading, paint is introduced into the uppermost layer of the dermis. As a result, more comfortable feelings and a shorter period of the rehabilitation period.

How much is the effect

The effect of the procedure will be noticeable for two years. True, a lot depends on the individual characteristics of the organism, metabolism and how often the client spends time in the sun. Numerous reviews warn that under the influence of sunlight the pigment tends to fade.

After the first procedure, eyebrow micropigmentation correction is required, since the pigment can be rejected, and the master needs to draw the missing hairs again.

Unlike conventional tattoo, microblading does not last so long. This is due to the fact that today beauticians use natural organic pigments. They are absolutely harmless to health, do not cause allergic reactions, but over time they are eliminated by the body.

Who is shown the procedure

Eyebrow micropigmentation is required for those clients who for some reason have thin, rare eyebrows. If the hairs are not enough to make a beautiful regular shape, you have to draw the hairs daily with pencils and eyebrow shadows.

Also, the tattoo will help mask the scars and scars on the eyebrows, filling the missing hairs with strokes of a properly selected color.

In addition, in their reviews, clients with allergic reactions to cosmetics or eyebrow paints report that they were able to resort to microblading without harming their health.

After the procedure, according to clients, eyebrows will be darker and clearer, and their shape will be ideal in relation to the features and facial contours.

How to prepare for the procedure?

What not to do when going for eyebrow micropigmentation?

• Take antibiotics.
• Drink alcohol, strong coffee and tea, energy drinks.
• Take blood thinners such as aspirin.
• Take a sun bath both in the solarium and on the beach.

Before you go to the procedure, read the reviews about the master, beauty salon or clinic, where he takes. It is advisable to see photos from the beautician's portfolio. Also on the sites of serious cosmetology clinics and salons you can see copies of certificates of completion of the master of training. Do not go to the first cosmetician, especially if the cost of the procedure is suspiciously low. Quality pigments and equipment can not be cheap, as the procedure itself. Do not save on your beauty and health.

The client has the right to ask for certificates on pigments and to verify the integrity of the packaging of disposable needles.

Indications for the procedure

Micropigmentation is carried out in order to give the eyebrows brightness, expressiveness, new form. Thanks to the procedure, you can make them thick and well-groomed, give a bend, texture, volume.

Do not forget, the master is repelled not only from the wishes of the patient, but also from the features of his face, as well as from the latest fashion trends.

For manipulations, a special tool in the form of a handle, equipped with individual needles is used (this eliminates the risks of infection). He makes thin lines, introducing paint to the optimum depth (about 0.5 mm). Lines are applied with strokes, if necessary, the skin is stained with a general tone. The procedure is accompanied by unpleasant, painful sensations, so additional local anesthesia may be required (application of an anesthetic cream is applied).

The results obtained are stored for approximately 1.5–2 years, the exact figure depends on the depth of dye injection and its quality, as well as on the individual characteristics of each patient’s body.

Care after the procedure and re-correction

The skin under the eyebrows immediately after the procedure has a red tint, a slight soreness remains. After 1 - 2 days a crust appears at the site of staining, which should not be removed, wait until it falls off independently (this happens within a week).

To consolidate the results achieved should follow the basic guidelines for the care of eyebrows. They consist in the following rules:

• Do not wet or scratch, do not in any way affect the painted area.
• Use Bepanthen to regenerate and repair skin tissue.

Differences between micropigmentation and tattoo

Quite often you can find reviews and opinions in which the terms tattoo and micropigmentation are used as synonyms, however, this opinion is fundamentally wrong. To determine exactly what the differences and similarities between these two methods are, pay attention to the comparison table:

Video: How eyebrow micropigmentation proceeds

Manual eyebrow micropigmentation - drawing individual hairs and creating a general tone in order to obtain a new shape. It is carried out manually using a special tool with thin needles. Coloring pigments are introduced into the surface layers of the dermis, to a depth of about 0.5 mm. The results obtained look quite natural and persist for 1 - 2 years.

To add to the face of attractiveness, women use a lot of secrets and techniques. Tinted eyebrows make the look more open and expressive, giving the image a charm. Thanks to modern methods of tattoo, you can not worry about the constant correction of the bend and the color of hair lines. Eyebrow micropigmentation, or permanent makeup, maintains a flawless appearance. What is the secret of the method of execution?

The decision to correct the eyebrows is accompanied by the choice of the master and the appropriate execution procedure. The salons offer a new direction called micropigmentation. This is a standard cosmetic procedure, the purpose of which is to give the eyebrows the correct shape and well-groomed appearance. The use of special coloring pigments creates clear lines, making them more expressive for a long time. Remains relevant method among fair-haired and pale-skinned beauties.

When permanent correction is needed

Modern beauty canons dictate the rules according to which a woman’s face is decorated with natural lines. However, opponents of the tattoo, coming solely from personal convictions, categorically deny the application of pigment. There are situations when the wizard does not recommend micro-pigmentation of eyebrows. For example, if there are scratches, cracks or other visible damage on the skin in this area. Only after complete healing of wounds, a tattoo is performed.

Often, scars, pigment spots and other manifestations that are hidden by permanent makeup are formed in the hair growth zone. Cosmetologists recommend the procedure of tattoo, but before that they carefully examine the place of application, advise clients on the possible consequences and risks.

Common cosmetic correction techniques

To manual eyebrow micropigmentation does not cause fear, experts explain how the tattoo is performed. Some kind of pigment application technology training. To begin with, the master selects a suitable eyebrow shape, taking into account the oval of the face, the individual features of the appearance, the depth of the eyes, etc. The hue of the pigment should be darker than the natural tone of the hair.

Before performing a tattoo, the skin is treated with antiseptic and anesthetic preparations. Then the master draws a line of eyebrows with the help of a usual contour pencil or shadow. The new form is agreed with the client and after that the application of pigment begins.

Before performing a tattoo is recommended to undergo a mini-training or familiarization with the methods of implementation. So that the eyebrows look tinted and well-groomed, the masters perform shading or feathering. This procedure is carried out in case of unsuccessful permanent makeup, made earlier. Shooting allows you to eliminate unwanted color and eliminate all the flaws. According to customer reviews, this technology is quite painless and fast, the result is visible in the photo.

A kind of shading is considered to be a “ten minute tattoo”. The essence of the method is the drawing of missing hairs, it is shown to people with sparse and long-growing hairs. The procedure takes place without anesthesia, as a result, the natural bending of the eyebrows is emphasized, the tail is extended or the corner is lifted.

Oriental method "hair to hair"

To perform this method, the master undergoes special training, since the technique provides for complex interventions. However, the result exceeds all expectations. If the beautician competently approached the correction, the resulting effect can not be overestimated. Before starting the procedure, the master schematically builds the location and length of the hairs, taking into account the intersection, direction and thickness. The hair-to-hair technique is shown to people who lack part of their own eyebrows.

The photo shows the result of the implementation of the hair-to-hair technique.

European methodology

The procedure involves applying strokes at a certain interval. Due to this, the effect of natural growth of hairs is achieved, at which they are directed upwards at the base of the eyebrow, and at the tip are bent. To make the strokes look more natural, the master neatly draws fine lines.

How to protect yourself from the wrong tattoo

Since micropigmentation is considered a surgical procedure, many clients are interested in where to do a tattoo. To perform it, special conditions and equipment are required, and the master must undergo preliminary training. Permanent makeup is performed exclusively in beauty salons, using all related materials. If someone advertises micropigmentation services at home, it is better to skip the opportunity to save money, because this is a serious health risk.

In addition, the master, who offers services at home, may not have sufficient qualifications, have not been trained by professionals. Feel lucky if the work does not entail consequences. And if the eyebrows turn red or turn blue? Reviews of affected girls make you think, because correcting mistakes is much more difficult, and taking care of your own health is much easier. Outside the salon there is a high risk of harmful microorganisms penetrating the skin, therefore blood infection is likely.

Of course, the cost of the proposed procedures in the salons is much higher than those that are performed at home. Beauticians have the additional responsibility not only for the result, but also for the health of clients. In professional stores, micropigmentation is performed with exceptionally high quality pigments and with the help of modern equipment.

Permanent makeup care tips

After the micropigmentation procedure, a specific crust appears, which protects the skin from the action of harmful bacteria. Reviews of girls show that after a week there is no trace of the crust, and in its place an attractive eyebrow forms. Unfortunately, color saturation also disappears. It is forbidden to get rid of the crust independently, scratching, pulling and plucking the eyebrow, it threatens with the appearance of inflammatory processes.

You must follow the rules of care:

• eliminate contact with water, stop swimming in the pool, visiting baths and saunas,
• refuse soap and other cosmetic products for the face,
• avoid sunlight on the open line of the eyebrows until the crust disappears,
• eliminate contact with tissues and other personal hygiene products.

The overall healing process quickly and painlessly passes every girl.

There are a number of contraindications for micropigmentation. So, people with diabetes, advanced cancer, insufficient blood clotting and the presence of serious viral infections are prohibited from tattooing. In addition, before applying the pigments, it is recommended to pass the test for individual susceptibility to the drug.

Result correction

After cosmetic tattooing, correction is sometimes required, which is performed only after complete healing of the treated areas. It is customary to perform correction no later than 45 days after healing, since by this time the pigment is losing its saturation, and new areas will stand out.

According to numerous reviews of the girls, in one and a half to two years, a complete correction is required. During this time there is an opportunity to pick up a new shape and color of hairs. If desired, you can get trained and independently perform micropigmentation. Help in this photo and video tutorials on the Internet.

There are many ways to make eyebrows brighter, more saturated and thick, but micro-pigmentation of eyebrows is striking among all of them. If the tattoo is a permanent and painful procedure in which the dye is injected deep under the skin, and in the end an obvious colored eyebrow is obtained, then microblading gives such a natural and natural result that it is difficult to distinguish the drawn lines from the real ones even upon careful examination.

Famous micropigmentation technique - 6d method. He came to us from Asia, where the standard of female beauty is very light, bleached skin and dark, almost black hair. In such circumstances, the usual tattoo would be too noticeable and ugly, so a neat, accurate shadow technique of drawing each individual hair was invented - it is quite complex and requires training. In Europe, this method is not very common, and he came to Russia quite recently, but the 6d technique quickly finds its fans.

Benefits

Girls choose manual micropigmentation of eyebrows for various reasons, but the main one is naturalness. 6d method gives the most realistic result that a tattoo can get. In the photo, the difference is obvious: microblading draws each hair separately, and the permanent technique paints the eyebrow completely. At the same time, the color of the eyebrow after 6d lasts for a rather long time, from 1 to 2 years, how much exactly depends on the type of your skin and external factors, and the care is not very complicated. But there are other advantages:

• the shade does not change, but only gradually fades, as if it burns out in the sun,
• paint is introduced at a shallow depth - it is less dangerous and painful,
• almost no need for recovery and care, the skin heals very quickly,
• the master can correct the shape of the eyebrows, the direction of hair growth, their length, thickness and bend.

You should not try to do microblading by yourself: the process is very delicate, it is very difficult to correct errors in 6d, and a rare master will undertake to remove the dye from under the skin. Redoing unsuccessful work will cost much more than the usual procedure. Specialists undergo difficult training, high-quality equipment and materials require a considerable amount, therefore, contact the salon faster and cheaper, and better.

Further care

The first few days after the 6d tattoo, the eyebrow will heal: lymph may be secreted, which is preferably wetted with a cotton disc with chlorhexidine. By the middle of the week a small crust may appear, the brow will begin to peel off. Try not to strip off the scales and lubricate the wounds with vegetable oils or cream with vitamins A and D. The master will tell you in detail how long it will take to complete healing, but usually it takes a week. Also, usually the specialist conducts a little training for the client, by what means or creams it is better to wipe the eyebrow in the future, what care is needed. After that, the paint will begin to slowly disappear, and by the end of the month it will completely disappear, as if you did not do 6d microblading. Everything is in order, during the correction the specialist will return the color back, and after that it will last even more than a year.

After completing microblading, try the first weeks to follow simple rules:

• don't scratch your brow
• do not sunbathe, do not go to the solarium or sauna,
• avoid long sun exposure
• Do not use scrub and eyebrow washing products.

The result will stay with you for a long time, it depends on the type of skin: it lasts longer on dry than on oily. But beautiful and natural eyebrows will delight you, as real. Imitation of shadows, clear traced hairs - this beauty is similar to art and requires skill.

In this video, all the subtleties of step-by-step make-up for beginners are explained and explained. If you are just starting to dive into the world of cosmetics, it is recommended for viewing.

Eyebrow micropigmentation

Pigmentation can occur in different ways:

1. Shadow technology.
2. Hair style.

Shadow technique, or as it is called, the method of feathering, appeared quite a long time ago and gained great popularity. This method of staining is to use a special pen with the addition of pigment, which help to conceal the areas with balding patches or give volume without notice to others.

When hair pigmentation, that is, using the 6D method, pigment is applied to the skin, and an imitation of natural hair is created. With quality work it will be impossible to distinguish natural eyebrows from hairs drawn by a specialist. This technique is much better than tattooing, helps to correct certain areas of the eyebrows and is safer. The result after such a procedure lasts from one to three years, depending on the individual characteristics of the human body. The color after such a procedure does not change the color, but only becomes dimmer, as if the real hairs were burned out due to sunlight.

Eyebrow care after pigmentation

Although the micropigmentation procedure is safe, after it, proper care of the treated area is necessary.

First, during the first days after the procedure, lymph secretion may occur, and so that it does not dry out, forming a crust, it is necessary to wipe your eyebrows with chlorhexidine, which can be purchased at the pharmacy.

Secondly, after five or six days, a slight peeling begins to appear, which in no case can be removed by itself. All desquamation must pass by itself, without human intervention. In order to make the peeling less visible, you should moisturize your eyebrows with fatty creams, which have in their composition vitamins A and D.

Also, experts strongly recommend not to visit the baths, saunas and pools during the first week.

You should not resort to micropigmentation with the following diseases:

• diabetes,
• asthma,
• various mental illnesses
• hepatitis,
• epilepsy,
• hemophilia,
• prone to scarring.

Doctors do not recommend the procedure during pregnancy and lactation, with infectious diseases, while taking antibiotics.

The price of the procedure depends on the professionalism of the beautician and varies from five to ten thousand, the correction will cost two times cheaper.

How is the tattoo?

The manual eyebrow micropigmentation method always begins with a pencil drawing of their shape, as well as the choice of pigment color. The shape and color are selected individually, according to the proportions of the face and the color type of the client. Having finished the drawing, the master necessarily shows the result to the client, and if that suits him, he proceeds to the tattoo. If the client is dissatisfied with the shape or thickness of the eyebrows, then the master must make an adjustment and only after that start work.

During the procedure, the client lies on the couch on his back, the beautician must remove his hair with a disposable cap. The master himself must also be in a hat, mask and disposable gloves. Packaging with needles, he must open with the client, as well as to disinfect his skin.

No later than 45 days, the client should come for a correction, only after that the procedure can be considered complete and evaluate the final result.

Do I need local anesthesia for microbleeding? The procedure of tattooing is painful, even though it is performed by manual technique.Very much depends on the individual sensitivity of the client, but almost always the masters apply anesthetic cream to save the client from unpleasant sensations. Eyebrow micropigmentation technique does not exclude the absence of anesthesia, but it is all very individual. The client can voluntarily refuse to “freeze”, but only if it does not interfere with the process.

After disinfection, the beautician applies a cream, such as Emla, to the eyebrow area, covers them with film and leaves for twenty to thirty minutes. When the skin loses sensitivity, you can proceed to the procedure.

Microblading techniques

There are two ways to draw eyebrow hairs:

• European technology. It is simpler and runs faster than the other. The hairs that the master draws are of the same length and thickness, as the beautician does not change the tool nozzle during the work.
• East. In this case, the hairs look absolutely natural, as the length, thickness, and, if necessary, shade, completely repeat the natural eyebrow. This procedure takes longer and, accordingly, costs more.

How much does eyebrow micropigmentation cost? The average price for a European vehicle is about 7,000 rubles, and about 10,000 rubles for the eastern one. The correction is usually half the cost of the procedure.

Microblading training

The result and positive feedback of clients, of course, depend on the professionalism of the master. And if you are not reading this article for the purpose of enrolling in a procedure, then you would like to engage in microblading yourself. How is the training? Eyebrow micropigmentation is a kind of tattoo, so if you have experience in this area, then it will not be difficult to learn this technique. But even if you have not previously worked in the field of cosmetology and permanent makeup, it is never too late to learn.

In almost every city there is a school that helps to master permanent makeup. Microblading training takes about three days. First, students are introduced to all sanitary standards, because they will deal with the puncture of the skin. Next, it is important to learn to understand the architecture of the eyebrows. The students will need to understand how to build the eyebrow correctly, based on the proportions of the face of each particular client. Coloring will also be affected, the ability to correctly select the pigment that matches the natural color of the eyebrows and hair of the client.

The next stage - the most important - practice. On the dummy, the arm setting, the puncture depth, the size and thickness of the strokes are tested. After the teacher accepts work on a dummy, the practice can be worked out on a real client. The work takes place under the strict control of the teacher.

What is eyebrow micropigmentation?

Eyebrow micropigmentation of SofTap or tattoo 6d - This is the thinnest and most secure procedure for the introduction of the coloring pigment into the skin.

Due to its natural effect, it is also called spraying. It is carried out not with a rotary or other tattoo machine, like the vast majority of tattoo procedures, but with the use of the finest needles.

This approach allows to minimize the painfulness of the procedure.

Eyebrow coloring with microblading

A session is performed using a handpiece. This is a special pen in which disposable needles are installed. They can be collected from a line, bundles of 3, 6 and more needles. During the procedure, the master can use from 3 to 6 different needles, depending on the complexity of the work.

Microblading needles

Manual pigmentation is considered the most natural type of tattoo. The procedure is not carried out using a single needle or blade, due to which the outer edges of the contour have a blurred appearance, without clear lines and adhesions.

Micropigmentation Tools

Advantages of Slide & Tap eyebrow micropigmentation:

1. Hair pigmentation, made by a good master, does not show that the eyebrows are not real. All lines will be dyed thinner than hairs. In addition, the beautician will lead strokes along the natural growth line,
2. The effect lasts a long time and almost never needs to be corrected. A fix is ​​only necessary if the master has made a mistake.

After correction of microblading

Crusts quickly go. The entire healing process rarely takes more than 1 week. This is due to the small depth of penetration of the pigment. This method allows the introduction of a needle with paint no more than a few millimeters. This is smaller than the standard scratch,

Needle penetration depth during micropigmentation

But the technique also has some drawbacks.

What are the disadvantages of eyebrow micropigmentation:

• This procedure is an expensive pleasure. The average cost of a session starts from $ 50, and, depending on the master, the price of microblading can reach $ 200.
• Hair micropigmentation requires particularly careful care during the healing period. The paint is very close to the surface of the skin, because of which it is easily washed away with hot water or hard means for the face. Therefore, in the first few days, doctors recommend to completely exclude washing,
• The session is held for a very long time. Given that microbliding is performed not by the device, but by a maniple manually, its duration reaches several hours. If you need a small retouching - then it may be 90 minutes. But to correct serious flaws (asymmetry, bald spots, etc.), it will take at least 2 hours. Handles

The main contraindications of micropigmentation of the eyebrow zone - These are skin diseases (including chronic in acute form), breastfeeding (up to 1 year), alcohol intoxication. It is not recommended to conduct a session during pregnancy and menstruation.

Micropigmentation Technique

To conduct a microblading session, the master develops an individual scheme with elaboration of the necessary and suitable eyebrow shape. It is drawn first on paper, then repeated on the face with henna or a marker.

Step-by-step micropigmentation process:

1. First, the entire makeup is removed. For this purpose, lotions without alcohol and flavors are used,
2. After makeup removal, eyebrows are anesthetized. Despite the significant differences in micropigmentation and classical tattoo, it is still very painful to carry out the procedure. To reduce discomfort, experts use creams based on lidocaine or other anesthetics,
3. In order for the anesthetic to take effect, it will take at least 20 minutes. As soon as this time has passed, the session begins. Special needles are inserted into the handpiece. They must be disposable and unpacked just in front of you. Similarly with a ring for pigment. The master puts it on his finger for the convenience of a set of paint,

Anesthesia with micropigmentation

Painting starts with the contour. With soft pressing movements, the beautician drives the paint into the skin. Gradually, the transition to the middle of the eyebrows and tips. Different needles spikes can be used for different areas. For example, for the contour, it is best to use single-row, for the beginning of the line - a round or U-shaped spikes,
