What is Microblading?
Microblading, also know as semi permanent eyebrows, is a procedure categorized under semi permanent cosmetics. This is performed with a hand tattooing tool with fine microblades. These microblades give super fine lines resembling fine hair strokes by depositing the selected pigment color. Unlike a traditional permanent eyebrow tattoo, here the ink is not deposited very deep and hence termed as semi-permanent where the results last for 1 – 2 years.
Microblading is excellent for people who want to correct or reconstruct lost eyebrows, thinning brows or who want to further enhance their eyebrows with a natural aesthetic appeal.
