What is microblading and semi permanent make-up?

What is microblading and semi permanent make-up is one of the most commonly asked questions in the industry.

Micropigmentation treatments such as microblading and semi permanent makeup involve a procedure which introduces quality, coloured pigments into the Skin. This goes into the sub-dermal layer and epidermal layer of the skin.

Patients are given topical anaesthetic to numb the skin and, after the anaesthetic takes effect, the therapy can begin.

These pigments can be applied in such a way as to replicate natural brow hairs. They fill lips with colour to give a true alternative to lipstick or can be inserted into the eye line area to negate the tricky application of eyeliner makeup for years to come .

The technique relies on a highly-trained practitioner’s skilled use of digital precision needles (semi permanent make-up) or hand tool application equipment (microblading) that introduces advanced colour pigments into the upper layer of the skin.

These pigments are “permanent” compared with normal cosmetics but semi-permanent in that, as the skin gradually replaces itself, they’ll fade over time yet more than often last for several years in the future.

How long does Microblading take?

How long does microblading take usually relies on the area being treated and the type of treatment requested.

The most common microblading and semi permanent makeup treatment procedures are brow treatments. These vary from powdered effect brows to 3D hair by hair brow treatments.

For clients who have no brow hair remaining there is obviously a need for a higher degree of work to be carried out and these treatments naturally take a little longer.

Some treatments can be carried out in a single sitting whilst others require two sittings (4 weeks apart) to complete the procedure.

Below is a rough estimate advising “How long does microblading take?” per procedure.

Standard Powdered Brow SPMU procedure 1hr-1.5hrs
Standard Hair by Hair SPMU Brow procedure 1hr-1.5hrs
3D Hair by Hair SPMU Brow procedure 2hrs-2.5hr ( two sittings)
Standard Hair by Hair Microblading Brow procedure 1.5hrs-2.5hr ( two sittings)
3D Hair by Hair SPMU Microblading procedure 2hrs-2.5hr ( two sittings)
Eyeliner top or bottom 1hr
Eyeliner top and bottom 1hr-1.5hrs
Lip liner 1hr
Lip Blush 1hr-1.5hrs
Both Lip liner and Lip Blush 1hr-2hrs

Procedure time includes time for anesthetics to be applied and numbing time needed prior to starting the treatment.

Why use this technique?

Sometimes, for many reasons, eyebrows, eyes, lips and other features benefit from “replacement” or accentuation. For example, your eyebrows have become sparse through over-plucking, or have completely disappeared due to alopecia. In these situations, microblading or semi permanent make-up in the instance of eyebrows could be the answer.

Or maybe your eyes would benefit from the enhanced definition of semi-permanent eye make-up or your lips from the shaping provided by semi-permanent lip make-up?

In each case, just one visit and treatment at our conveniently located salons can make a huge difference.

No need to worry about whether your make-up will smudge or run, no need to spend hours in front of the mirror applying perfect make-up and no need worry about ‘shaking hand’ or poor eyesight when attempting to apply eyeliners etc.

Micoblading and semi permanent make-up treatments with Redeem Clinic resolve all these issues.

How long does microblading last?

The most common answer to the question “How long does microblading last?” you’ll find coming back from within the industry is 2-5 years.

Both microblading and semi permanent make-up treatments may sometimes be considered permanent since the implanted pigment cannot be washed off.

In time, fading will occur and some or all of the colour will need to be reapplied. Redeem Clinic recommends a top up after 18 months to boost colour and definition.

The duration of 2-5 years varies many due to factors outside the control of the practitioner, such as oily skin type, high exposure to UV light, use of cleansers/exfoliates, age of client and other factors. All of this can have an effect on how long the microblading or semi permanent makeup treatments last.

There is a misconception that because some other clinics actually tattoo brows and the cost of some eyebrow tattooing is less than semi permanent makeup then brows that last a lifetime must be better. As we know nearly all tattoos will blur and give a bleed effect over time. Not only that but as we age our facial skin starts to change shape and in these cases so will your eyebrows. This is why we always recommend semi permanent only.

It should be noted however than on the rare occasion some clients can experience a permanent shadow effect, especially in reference to microblading treatments. The shadowing is very much as it sounds, some of the pigment that enters the sub-dermal lower levels of the skin can remain on the odd occasion leaving soft, usually subtle pigment effect to the treated area. This said, in the very vast majority of cases pigmentation will fade back to only leave the natural skin colour.

Can I have the colour I desire?

The simple answer is “yes”, in the vast majority of cases you can have the coloured pigments you desire. There is a wide range of colours and shades so whether you have blonde, red or brunette hair, there will be a colour to closely match your shade. We naturally also have various coloured pigments for both lip treatment and eyeliner treatments for you to choose from.

Does microblading hurt?

With both our microblading and semi permanent make-up treatments clients on the whole report that they experience no pain at all because of the local anaesthetic applied before and during the treatment. For others it can be a little uncomfortable depending on the individual’s pain threshold.

At worst it is generally understood to be no more painful than having your eyebrows plucked. As well as being applied before treatment, we apply anaesthetic creams throughout treatment to keep any discomfort to a minimum.

We recognise however that as individuals we all have different levels of pain threshold. Consequently, when asked ‘Does microblading hurt ?’ our general face to face words of comfort are quite simply ‘Of the 1000’s of clients we have treated to date we have never had to stop a procedure due to the client discomfort’.

One of the advantages of semi permanent make-up and the majority of microblading treatments is that, unlike eyebrow tattoos, lip tattoos or eyeliner tattoos the treatment is not permanent so in years to come should you decide to revert to your natural look then this is perfectly achievable.

What can I expect following my microblading and semi permanent make-up treatment?

You may resume your normal activities straight after treatment. There may be slight swelling or redness on the area where the treatment has been applied but this will go down quickly. The treated area will always appear darker and more exact immediately after the treatment but this will lighten and soften over the next few days. There may be slight flaking over the treated area during healing.

Your 3D semi permanent make-up or microblading treatment may need a touch-up visit a month after the initial application of pigment to adjust shape, colour or density. We recommend that you return to the clinic every 18 months for further possible top-ups, yet maintenance on a whole is minimal. Other guidelines for getting the best from your permanent make-up will be given during your consultation or treatment period.

Remember

The treated area will be more exact, dark and intense when first treated.
The skin will take 2 to 7 days to return to normal.
It is normal to lose one third of the new colour during this initial period.
Always use a sunscreen on make-up to prevent colour change and loss.
Keep the area clean and free from infection until the skin has healed
