Microblading is the perfect solution for anyone who wants full, beautiful eyebrows with minimal upkeep. This cosmetic procedure involves the use of semi-permanent makeup to fill out eyebrows and give them better definition. The Fountain Spa explains the finer points of microblading to prepare you for the procedure.

4 Things to Know About Microblading

1. Understand the Procedure

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup that creates natural, beautiful eyebrows with a handheld microblade. It involves using a needle to draw ultra-fine lines along the brow that resemble individual hairs. This procedure requires more than one spa appointment. After the initial treatment, you’ll need a follow-up visit in six weeks for color correction. The lines fade over time, so you will need annual touch-ups. 

2. Think About Color & Shape

Before your first appointment, consider what shade will complement your hair color. Keep in mind this shade may appear darker on dry skin and lighter on oily skin. You should also consult with your spa’s cosmetologist about the brow size and shape you’d like to achieve. Avoid alcohol in the 24 hours leading up to your treatment. 

3. Don’t Get Them Wet

After your initial microblading appointment, it is crucial that you do not allow your brows to get wet. For the first 5 days, avoid exertion, stay out of the rain, and cover eyebrows when you shower. These precautions will prevent premature fading and discoloration. 

4. Upkeep Is Important

For a few days after your procedure, use antibiotic ointment on your brows to avoid infection. You should also avoid rubbing your eyebrows against fabrics when changing clothes, using washcloths, or sleeping. Wear sunblock with an SPF of at least 30 to safeguard against damage caused by UV rays.
