Microblading vs. Eyebrow Tinting: What's the Difference?



Gone are the days when you could just live with your brows till they grew back if you got a little too tweezer happy with them. Some treatments can now not only repair such flaws if they are present, but also offer you the best-looking brows for your face.


Both of these treatments enhance your brows to give you the illusion of fuller, more defined brows, but they do it using different approaches. Their effects continue for varying amounts of time, and their total treatment costs are vastly varied. Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure that requires more of an investment, but it can last up to three years.

Microblading provides you a new look and may fill in any gaps where you may have weak areas lacking hairs, whereas eyebrow tinting enhances your existing brows but cannot add new hairs.


Microblading


Microblading is the treatment that will give you the brows of your dreams if you want to restructure your brows and change the brows you were born with into the brows you wish you were born with.



Microblading is comparable to getting a tattoo in that it leaves a permanent mark on the skin. It involves tattooing tiny, individual hairs onto your skin to mimic real hairs, giving you the correct form and making your eyebrows appear fuller, thicker, and darker. To achieve long-lasting results, the artist uses a tattoo-like technique to deposit colour directly beneath the skin.


What Is the Process?


Microblading is done by an eyebrow artist who is completely trained and competent in the art of brow aesthetics. During your initial consultation, you and your artist will discuss your goals, preferred form, and color, as well as several possible looks that would look best on your face.


What Happens During the Recovery Period?
