Microblading in Kennesaw, GA

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a cosmetic procedure used to create the illusion of fuller eyebrows. Small amounts of pigment are inserted under the skin using a needle, much like a tattoo. Although unlike a tattoo, microblading is not permanent.

How Does it Work?

A technician uses a microblade tool to apply color pigments that look like real hairs.

The technician makes tiny superficial cuts in and along the brow, depositing pigment over the arches so it can seep into the hairlike cuts just created.

The color effect does fade over time, so touch-ups may be necessary to maintain the desired look.

What to Expect During Microblading

Before treatment – You may be asked to avoid certain medications, creams, or other products prior to your treatment.

Discussing shape/color – Colors and shapes can vary widely. Often, a technician will color a shape in with makeup or pencil so you can visualize together the desired outcome.

Cleansing skin – Your technician will remove any makeup and make sure your skin is free from any debris.

Numbing gel – The pain with microblading is minimal, largely due to a topical numbing agent applied to your skin. You may need to wait for 15 minutes for it to take effect. This is a good time to relax or get to know more about your technician.

Microblading Procedure – The procedure can take 30-60 minutes depending on the scope of the treatment. You will relax on a table with a light, and usually close your eyes as the artist gets to work.

Recommendations After Microblading

After microblading your technician will suggest:

• Avoiding exercise and sun exposure
• Avoid using retinols
• Avoid makeup
• Avoid picking scabs
• Try to keep the eyebrows dry
• Applying ointment 1x daily
• Avoiding direct sunlight
• Some people may require a touch-up to finalize the brows 4-8 weeks after the procedure

Is Microblading for Me?

It is important to do your  due diligence and look into a technicians’ past work to make sure the results are what you want. It is also wise to talk to others about their experiences to know the risks, benefits, cost, and overall experience. Microblading is an investment.

If fuller brows are important to  you, you may have spent money on brow serums or makeup products. The benefit of microblading is the appearance of fuller brows and a natural shape that works with your face.

Microblading is an option for all skin tones and types. Even if you have little to no hair, microblading can be an option.

How is Microblading Different than a Tattoo?

A traditional tattoo is permanent. Microblading, on the other hand is considered semi-permanent.

Other differences include:

• Microblading coloring may last up to three years.
• Microblading uses different tools and a smaller amount of pigment.
• Your body ends up metabolizing the ink, and it fades away
• Dye particles are less concentrated in the ink
• A softer, more realistic look

How Much Does it Cost?

Prices can vary based on the technician’s experience level and location. Prices typically range from $500-$2,000. It is wise to select the technician with great care.
