Brow Microbalding Information
Traditional Microblading
Traditional or classic microblading is a form of eyebrow tattooing that involves the use of a fine blade to deposit pigment under the skin. The result is a pair of eyebrows that look natural yet well-defined. Microblading is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to create brows that look flawlessly shaped and precisely filled in, a visual feat that can be difficult to achieve with makeup alone. Microblading is also known as feather touch, feathering, or hair stroke, providing eyebrow restoration with the illusion of volume and density.
Microblading is the preferred option for those with normal to dry skin, as those with oily skin may experience smudging of the incised lines.
Microblading Technique
At Lavoom Salon, the journey begins with a thorough consultation where the client and technician collaborate on defining the desired shape, colour, and overall expectations for the eyebrows. Using expertise and precision, the technician carefully selects a pigment that harmonizes with the client's natural hair color, pupil color, and skin tone. Prior to the procedure, a Lavoom Salon numbing cream is applied for comfort, requiring approximately 20 minutes to take effect. While mild discomfort may be experienced by some clients, it is typically manageable.
​
During the procedure, a handheld tool equipped with an ultra-fine needle is utilized by the technician to create shallow incisions in the outer layer of the skin, delicately depositing the selected pigment in tiny, hair-like strokes. These strokes emulate the natural growth pattern of eyebrow hairs, resulting in brows that appear fuller and impeccably defined. Depending on the intricacy of the desired design, the process generally spans around 2-3 hours.
​
In the subsequent weeks, the pigment may initially appear darker but will gradually lighten and settle into the desired shade. For enduring and gratifying outcomes, a touch-up session is typically advised approximately 4-6 weeks post the initial procedure to refine the shape and color to perfection.
Ombré Shading
Ombre brows are a subcategory of powder brows in which the same process is applied to elicit a gradient rather than a uniform effect. Suitable for those with combination or oily skin, ombre brows display transitional shading that enhances depth and brightens the face.
Shading Technique
After adhering to standard consultation and treatment area preparation procedures, a technician will utilize a handheld tool to delicately etch small, precise pokes into the skin, commencing from the front of the eyebrow and progressing toward the tail.
As the procedure advances, the technician will gradually modulate the pressure and depth of the pokes to achieve the desired gradient effect. The front of the brows will retain a lighter hue, while the intensity will augment towards the arch and tail. This meticulous technique facilitates a seamless fusion between the lightly shaded and deeply shaded areas, resulting in a natural appearance.
​
Throughout the process, the technician will intermittently step back to evaluate the symmetry and harmony of the brows, making necessary adjustments to ensure a harmonious outcome.
​
Upon completion of the ombre shading, the technician will cleanse the area once more and apply a soothing ointment.
Combination Brows
Combination brows artfully blend the best of classic microblading and powder brows. The treatment starts with delicate hair strokes in the front section to create a lifelike illusion while gradually transitioning to a more powdered finish towards the tail. Unlike ombre shading, which uses the same technique from front to end, combination brows employ two distinct methods.
Combination Technique
The procedure initiates with a comprehensive consultation, during which the technician meticulously assesses the client's facial features, skin tone, and natural eyebrow shape. Drawing from this analysis, the artist recommends an appropriate combination brow style that harmonizes with the client's overall appearance.
​
In the initial phase of the procedure, microblading is employed to replicate tiny, hair-like strokes, meticulously etching them into the front of the brow using a specialized microblading tool. Following the completion of the microblading phase, the shading process ensues. Utilizing a distinct tool, the technician delicately applies soft layers of pigment from the middle to the tail-end of the brow, crafting a gradual transition of colour.
​
The fusion of microblading and shading techniques facilitates a versatile and lifelike outcome. Microblading imparts the illusion of individual hairs, while shading bestows a denser appearance to the brows, resulting in impeccably defined, natural-looking brows that necessitate minimal upkeep.
Pre and Post-Care Instructions
How to prepare for your appointment:
There are a few things you can do to prepare for the procedure:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning: Refrain from sun exposure or tanning for at least two weeks before your appointment. Tan or sunburnt skin can compromise the application's longevity and cause the pigment to fade quickly.
-
Do not Pick or Tweeze Your Eyebrows: Avoid plucking or tweezing your eyebrows for at least one week prior to the procedure. However, it's essential to maintain cleanliness and groom your eyebrows weeks/months after the session, as microblading does not remove hair.
-
Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol: These beverages can thin your blood, potentially leading to bleeding during the microblading service. Therefore, it's advisable to abstain from caffeine and alcohol for at least 24 hours before your treatment.
-
Have Clean and Makeup-Free Skin: Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. Ensure your skin is devoid of makeup, oils, and lotions to facilitate the microblading process.
-
Avoid Working Out and/or Sweating: Steer clear of strenuous physical activities and sweating 24 hours before and up to two weeks after the appointment. Sweating and heat can open up pores, potentially affecting the pigment's retention.
-
Avoid Tylenol and other Blood Thinning Medicines: Consult your physician or medical professional before treatment if you are on medication or have a medical condition that involves blood thinning medicines.
After Care
Following your procedure, adhering to the provided aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal results. While specific instructions will be tailored to your treatment at Lavoom Salon, the general guidelines outlined below apply to all services:
-
Keep the Area Clean and Dry: Maintain cleanliness by avoiding water contact for the first 7 days, both in the morning and at night. This prevents bacterial growth and buildup of products, oils, and dead skin.
-
Apply Ointment: Apply a thin layer of ointment to the treated area 2-3 times daily during the first week to promote healing and moisturization.
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Steer clear of direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks post-procedure. We recommend extending this period to 4 weeks to protect the pigment's integrity.
-
Prevent Picking or Scratching: Refrain from picking or scratching at the treated area to prevent disruption of the healing process and pigment retention.
-
Avoid Makeup on Brows: Do not apply makeup to the brows for at least 7 days post-procedure to allow the skin to heal properly.
-
Minimize Exercise and Sweating: Avoid vigorous exercise and excessive sweating for at least 2 weeks after the procedure. Extending this period to 4 weeks is recommended to ensure optimal healing and pigment retention.
