Microblading

Microblading is a form of a cosmetic semi-permanent makeup performed using, a manual (not a machine) disposable handheld tool, composed with very fine needles resembling the shape of a blade (we call it a microblade), to hand draw each individual hair and simultaneously implant the pigment into the skin. 

Each new hair stroke that is drawn by our cosmetic professional is meant to simulate the client’s natural eyebrow hair and seamlessly blend it with the client’s existing brows to add color and fullness resulting in a very natural look. Our microblading process ensures that we design a customized shape, look, and feel that complements your face and your personality. With our experienced cosmetic professionals at the helm, the results will be gorgeous yet undetectable.

What To Know About Microblading

Microblading is an ideal solution for clients who have patchy, thin, or uneven eyebrows and are looking for the most natural looking results. However, not everyone is a candidate for microblading and there are different elements to consider such as skin condition and health. Microblading is most suitable for clients with normal skin and small pores. Oil in the skin can cause the Microblading hair-stroke to expand and blur so the less oily the client skin is, the better the result would be. At Sculpted MD, we have very strict guidelines that we follow to decide who is a good candidate for microblading and who should avoid microblading!

A new set of Microbladed eyebrows takes two appointments to complete. The technique and art of microblading is very delicate and for this reason it needs two visits to ensure that all the strokes are evenly saturated with pigment. The second appointment is called a touchup and takes place 6 to 8 weeks after the initial appointment, after the pigments settled into the skin. In this touchup, the cosmetic professional makes any needed adjustments and ensures each hair-stroke has even color.

We recommend yearly touchup, after the initial touchup, to maintain the crispness and freshness of the color. Natural fading occurs from external factors such as exposure to the sun as well as internal factors such as the gradual break down of pigments as your body metabolizes it out of your system. Everyone can experience the fading process differently and it really comes down to skin type and lifestyle.

You’ll be able to wear your new brows back to brunch! In the first 7 days, you’ll need to avoid getting them wet, working out or wearing brow makeup. It takes about 30 days to completely heal, in which time you may experience mild scabbing. Additionally, the brows will be much darker to start, but will lighten up to your selected color once you are able to wash them.

Technically microblading is a form of micropigmentation, but we use a microblade to hand draw individual hair strokes. Micropigmentation specialists use a permanent makeup machine.
