The Miracle of Microblading your Brows

Your eyebrows play numerous valuable roles. They protect your vision by keeping sweat and rain from falling into your eyes and help you communicate well with facial expressions. 

From a beauty standpoint, your eyebrows are one of your most notable facial features. Given that they accentuate the shape of your face and your eyes, enhancing your brows might just enhance your overall appearance.

Our skin specialists at Dutch Hollow Medical Day Spa in Godfrey, Illinois, are pleased to offer eyebrow microblading to help you achieve the look you desire.

If you’re curious about this eyebrow treatment, read on to learn what it entails and the benefits to look forward to.

How microblading works

Microblading is a bit like getting a non-permanent tattoo. During the procedure, we use tiny needles (attached to a device) to place etched pigment lines that look like natural eyebrow hairs.

While microblading can feel a bit uncomfortable, it’s not typically painful. And the procedure takes about an hour in all, depending on your brows’ specifics and the style you’re going for.

Benefits of microblading your brows

When you work with a qualified eyebrow professional, microblading can invite a range of popular benefits, such as:

• An eyebrow look you love
• Natural-looking results
• Eyebrows that compliment your face shape and bring out your eyes
• Results that last for up to 18-30 months
• Time saved from from your morning makeup routine

Microblading is also only minimally invasive, so you can get back to most of your usual activities afterward. 

What to expect after your microblading treatment

To make the most of your eyebrow microblading results, follow your aftercare instructions. 

For example, we may recommend that you run a cotton swab of sterilized water over your brows two hours after your treatment. This helps keep the area sterile as the tissue heals, staving off infection, and does away with excess dye.

Other aftercare steps may include:

• Not wearing makeup for at least a week
• Not picking at or scratching your eyebrow area
• Avoiding excessive sweating, saunas, and swimming until the area is healed 
• Applying healing balm or medicated cream, as directed 

Don’t be alarmed if your eyebrows appear a bit darker than you’d like immediately following your treatment. This stems from the pigment, as well as redness from the needles, and gradually diminishes within 7-14 days. 

From there, you can simply enjoy your microblading results. There’s no maintenance required until your next desired treatment, typically over a year later.
