Over time, the options for women or men wanting to improve various features and elements of the body or the face have evolved. However, until recently, there have been limited options available for correcting thin or unevenly shaped eyebrows.
Now, a limited number of salons and artists in the Ft. Worth area offers a method for enhancing eyebrows through a process known as microblading. This is very different from eyebrow tattooing, and the two processes should never be confused or mistaken. Tattooing is much deeper into the skin, resulting in the development of scar tissue over time.
The Basics
The process of microblading uses specially formulated pigments deposited through a precise scratch just below the skin’s surface. Each of the hairs of the eyebrow is meticulously drawn and pigmented, replicating the look of natural eyebrow hairs. The pigment used is natural and is made of vegetable and mineral pigments carefully selected to blend with the existing eyebrow color.
With an exceptional artist completing the procedure, it is done through a personalized, custom shaping of the final brows followed by the application of the pigment. It is not based on eyebrow templates or pre-selected shapes; rather it is uniquely designed to create a balance and harmony with the eyes, facial shape and even the skin color of the individual.
Important Considerations
The scratching of the surface of the skin to apply the pigment in fine lines is done with the use of a local, topical anesthetic. The correct use of the anesthetic means the procedure is painless, with the slight reddening of the area in the brows lasting less than a week for most people.
In fact, it is possible to have microblading done one afternoon and return to work the next day. For a couple of extra days of healing, consider booking your appointment at a top salon in Ft. Worth on a Friday morning or afternoon.
