The Microblading, is more suitable for sparse eyebrows because it recreates hair in the empty spaces hair in the empty spaces.

What a Typical Session Feels Like
Before the Micrograyling session, you'll have to sit down with the salon's brow artist to discuss the procedure and determine if it's the right option. This means checking to see if the brows are dense overall but sparse in some areas suitable for the technique. They will also ask you about your routine and explain what things to be careful about and avoid. This involves tweezing the eyebrows, having alcohol, caffeine, or medication, and sun exposure.
On the day of the session, here's what usually happens:
- You'll fill out a form that asks for personal and health-related information, like if you take any medication or have a chronic condition
- The artist will then look at your brows to determine the correct ink color that will blend in with your natural brow hairs They'll also examine any bald patches or sparse areas that must be filled in to give the brows a uniform look. Finally, they'll outline the brow, giving you a refined shape.
- Next, they apply a numbing cream to the area
- The artist will inject ink into the skin in fine, hair-like strokes during derma pigmentation for a 3D effect These strokes will be in different intensities to give a gradient effect
- Then, they will make fine dots to give a shading effect throughout the brows for a uniform and intense look
- You will be called in after six weeks for a touchup
Micrograyling Healing Process and Aftercare
You should avoid exfoliation, sun exposure, and places like saunas for a couple of weeks after the process Here's how your brows will heal:
Week 1
- The first two days after the procedure, your brows look dark and swollen, but this is natural
- By the third day, a Micrograyling healing scab will form over your brows. Your brow artist will recommend an ointment that you can apply if it feels itchy
- By the end of the first week, the scabs will become dry flakes and fall off Please resist the temptation to peel these as they remove pigment
Week 2
Once the scabs fall off, the color will seem faded, but this returns after a while. Your skin may experience another round of scabbing and peeling, but this is normal
