Are you tired of spending precious time every morning trying to perfect your eyebrows? Do you dream of waking up with beautifully shaped brows that enhance your features effortlessly? Look no further than microblading, a revolutionary semi-permanent tattooing technique for eyebrows that can give you the brows of your dreams. In this article, we will delve into what exactly microblading is, how it can provide natural-looking results, the necessary care before and after the procedure, and the benefits it offers. I’ve spoken with beauty entrepreneur Gigi, who is the founder of Brauenkult Beauty Oasis in Zurich (Seefeld). The number one address in town for naturally looking brows and more. 

Gigi, What exactly is Microblading?

Microblading is a specialized cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a handheld tool with tiny, fine needles to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin. This technique creates realistic, hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrow hair. Unlike traditional eyebrow tattoos, microblading results in a more natural and defined look, as the strokes are drawn individually, giving the illusion of fuller and perfectly shaped brows.

 

Can Microblading look natural? Or will people notice a difference?

One of the key advantages of microblading is its ability to create remarkably natural-looking results. The meticulous process allows the technician to tailor the shape, color, and density of the strokes to match your existing brow hair and complement your facial features. By using pigments that are specifically formulated to fade over time, the color of the microbladed brows will gradually soften, ensuring that they blend seamlessly with your natural hair. Rest assured that with expertly performed microblading, no one will be able to tell that you’ve had any work done – they’ll simply admire your naturally beautiful eyebrows.

What do you have to take care of before and after Microblading?

To ensure the best possible outcome and longevity of your microbladed eyebrows, there are some important care guidelines to follow. Before the procedure, it is advisable to avoid consuming beverages with caffeine and abstain from alcohol on the same day. These substances can thin the blood and increase the likelihood of bleeding during the procedure.
After microblading, the healing process is crucial for the final result. The aftercare routine varies depending on individual skin conditions, but it generally involves keeping the brows dry for the first few days. Avoiding water, creams, and excessive sun exposure during this initial period will allow the pigment to settle and promote optimal healing. It is essential to follow the specific instructions provided by your microblading technician to ensure the best outcome and avoid any potential complications.

Can everyone do Microblading?

Microblading is suitable for almost everyone, regardless of age. However, there are certain factors to consider. Pregnant women and those who take blood thinners should refrain from undergoing microblading due to potential risks. It is always recommended to consult with a certified and experienced microblading technician who can assess your individual circumstances and determine if microblading is right for you.

What are the benefits of Microblading?

Microblading offers various benefits for individuals seeking flawlessly shaped eyebrows. Here are some of the advantages:

+ Time-saving: With microbladed eyebrows, you can say goodbye to daily eyebrow grooming routines. Wake up each morning with perfectly shaped brows without the need for pencils, powders, or gels.

+ Natural appearance: The precision and artistry of microblading techniques allow for the creation of natural-looking brows that seamlessly blend with your facial features. The individually drawn hair-like strokes mimic real brow hair, resulting in a subtle and realistic effect.
+ Confidence booster: Well-shaped eyebrows have the power to enhance your overall facial appearance and boost your self-confidence. Microblading can help you achieve the ideal brow shape and fullness that perfectly frames your face.
