Microblading
Microblading at The Corner Spa
Microblading in Southern CA is becoming more and more popular for a reason. It’s a variation on permanent make-up that goes beyond simply tattooing coloring onto the skin. Especially for work on the eyebrow area, it looks dramatically more similar to real eyebrow hair than other kinds of permanent makeup. The process is not completely different, but the work is more detailed, with each dot of pigment injected separately but rapidly. While the long lasting results are not actually permanent – they typically stay on for approximately two years – patients are consistently delighted with results that most people cannot distinguish from actual eyebrow hair. Aside from replacing thinning brows or substituting for mascara, microblading is also used by cancer patients and alopecia sufferers who want an appearance that doesn’t attract attention.
Microblading Guidelines
- Once the procedure is completed, we will provide you with a list of detailed aftercare instructions that will inform you on what to expect as tissue heels and the pigments settle in. For example, it will be necessary to the keep the area dry and refrain from washing your face with water or showering for the two days following the procedure. Swimming and activities like exercise that involved sweating should be avoided for 7-10 days. Otherwise, you should be able to resume your daily activities immediately.
- Initially, the eyebrows may appear overly dark and bold. Over time, however, the appearance of your microblading work will soften and change in a number of ways. We will alert you what to look out for so you won’t be alarmed by certain stages that may not appeal to you. Over time, however, you should find that the eyebrows look better and better.
- After a period of approximately 6-8 weeks, it will be time to come in for a final touch-up. This will be an opportunity for us to address any issues and make subtle improvements so that the client will be happy with their eyebrows for as long as the work lasts.
