Micro-Blading Safety
Safe micro-blading must be your first consideration. Eyebrow micro-blading requires attention to safety, and protection from cross-infection is vitally important. Daydreams has always used an autoclave to sterilise equipment, but now all hand tools as well as blades and needles are single-use and disposed of lawfully. Just prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, new tools and blade configurations became available, so I am using the opportunity to familiarise myself with these and enhance my micro-blading eyebrow artistry. The new glider handle is extremely comfortable to operate and, most importantly, the blades install touch-free. All this adds safety and reliability to the eyebrow treatment procedure, and the glider itself is single-use. Skills need to be kept finely tuned by a brow artist, so I continue on my practice mat drawing small hair-like strokes in varying lengths and directions to create a perfect natural-effect brow.
New pigments containing flax oil have been introduced which are proving to be smoother and truer, so another improvement for eyebrow microblading.
The principle of pigment implanting is simple and meticulous. Repeatedly I hear how big the benefits are, and most especially the impact on self-confidence. The reassurance that your brows are definitely in the right place and will stay in place is a great morale boost and time saver. Eyebrows definitely diminish with age, so reinstating volume gives a more youthful impression.
Every technician has their own style. Mine is not an exaggerated one. My policy is to negotiate a shape and colour with my client and proceed cautiously, giving consideration to what eyebrow hair they do have and the outcome they wish to see. The charge includes a second appointment to check the cosmetic tattoo has healed well, but this also provides an opportunity to extend the work if required. Many women want to reclaim the eyebrows of their youth, and the hair-stroke technique allows short eyebrows to be extended, sparse eyebrows to be thickened, and irregularities corrected, all of which gives an encouraging anti-ageing boost to the face. My aim with this treatment is to gain the same pleasure and satisfaction as the client with my work.
Micro-blading may be a fashion trend at present, but I think it is here to stay.
