Tattoo vs Microblading

MICROBLADING VS. EYEBROW TATTOO: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE

WHAT IS MICROBLADING? 

Microblading is a technique performed by an aesthetician which leads to natural looking, fuller eyebrows. After applying a numbing cream, tiny incisions are made in the brow which mimic your natural hairs. These incisions are then filled with pigment.

Microblading is relatively painless, thanks to the numbing cream applied beforehand and the shallow cuts of the microblade. You should experience little to no bleeding. A minimal amount of pigment is used, which allows color to stay put within the incisions, without bleeding outward.

Microblading fades over time, and the results of microblading can last anywhere from 1-2 years. However, patients can opt to extend their results for longer by undergoing periodic “maintenance” treatment sessions.

Microblading vs Eyebrow Tattooing

When considering which is best for you, it’s helpful to understand the differences between these two eyebrow-enhancing techniques.

Permanent vs Impermanent

For most people, the most significant difference between microblading and eyebrow tattoos is the longevity of the results each provides.

Eyebrow tattoos are permanent. Once the ink is tattooed onto the skin it is there for life (although undesirable fading of the ink as mentioned above is possible).
