Microblading & PMU

What exactly is brow microblading?

A permanent make-up technique.  Microblading employs the use of a hand-tool that holds about 6-14 needles.  Those needles are simultaneously used to drop pigment into the skin’s base membrane while making individual strokes.  These individual strokes simulate hair strands of the eyebrow.

When done properly and following aftercare, it creates a soft and natural illusion of a real brow.

Can microblading cover or disguise old cosmetic tattooing?

That depends.  If you have a very faded older tattoo it can be reworked with this method, if the artist is up for it. Results can be unpredictable, especially if there is a lot of scar tissue from the old tattoo. Be sure to discuss this with your artist during your consultation.

Microblading vs PMU:  What’s the Difference?

Microblading involves using a special hand tool, known as a microblading pen and medical-grade pigment to create fine, featherweight hair strokes. Whereas, PMU brows involve using a tattooing machine to add pigment to your brow area. This is why PMU brows are sometimes referred to as 'machine brows’.

What is the difference between microblading and combo brows?

• Brow Microbading - a cosmetic tattooing technique for enhancing the appearance of the eyebrows, in which pigment is scratched into the skin in fine, short strokes resembling hair, using a hand tool with a blade formed of tiny needles. Not recommended for those with oily skin, as the strokes will blur and fade faster. Microblading alone will not achieve a “makeup look”, it’s meant solely to create “little hairs”.
  
  

• Combo Brows - a combination of shading technique and the hair stroke microblading technique. This gives the eyebrow more fullness and definition.  Perfect for those with oily skin. Microblading alone will never give you the “makeup look”, implementing shading with the strokes with the Combo Brow, you can say goodbye to that eyebrow pencil.
