Which is better: tattooing or microblading eyebrows?

Every day the choice of cosmetic procedures that allow you to perform a correction of appearance, is replenished with various modern techniques. As for eyebrow modeling, a huge list of such procedures can make you think about the question of finding the most appropriate option. Most often, the choice is between tattoo and microblading.

Eyebrows have always been a very important area on the face, and their shape and appearance have undergone various changes, following fashion trends. You can set the desired bend or you can correct the color using various techniques, including coloring. The representatives of the fair sex, who for some reason or other do not have beautiful eyebrows, or they do not correspond to current trends, the issue can be solved with the help of various cosmetic procedures, which include tattooing and microblading.

However, the problem of choosing the technique of applying pigment for women who have decided to make a long-term permanent can be very serious. That is why it is necessary to have a clear idea about the specifics of both procedures.

Microblading is a kind of eyebrow embroidery. Such a comparison is not accidental, because if you pay attention to how the master performs his work, you can find certain similarities.

To correct the eyebrows in this technique, a specialist uses a special blade, due to which pigment is injected into the upper layer of the epidermis. As a result, neat and clear strokes are formed on the skin, without any blurry lines. This procedure is not so demanding in terms of the subsequent care of the eyebrows, in comparison with the tattoo.

Today, in cosmetology salons, clients are offered two types of microblading.

• European permanent makeup technique - it is also called dummy. In the course of drawing hairs, the master performs them of the same size, in addition, they are arranged in one direction. As a result, eyebrows get almost perfect shape, which is quite difficult to achieve with real eyebrows.
• Microblading made by the eastern method of applying the coloring pigment, involves the creation of strokes that will have different thickness and length. This technique is more laborious, but the method allows to bring the result closer to the natural hairline of the eyebrows.

Microblading is considered to be a less traumatic procedure, since the coloring composition is injected under the skin no more than 4 mm. Most often, the work is performed after treatment of the eyebrow zone with anesthetic gel. In the course of healing, approximately on the second day, the formation of crusts occurs. Visually, they are almost invisible, and, as a rule, peel off after 3-5 days.

According to reviews of clients who performed eyebrow microblading, the result of modeling is maintained for about two years, provided competent care.

It is necessary to have the most complete picture of the specifics of the procedure, so you need to highlight the advantages of such a permanent:

• technology allows you to perform the correction of the shape and color of eyebrows;
• the method described above has virtually no side effects;
• natural composition is used as a coloring pigment, therefore its disappearance will take place gradually, without abrupt changes in color and heterogeneity on the eyebrows;
• the main advantage of the procedure is minimal pain;
• microblading is notable for a short rehabilitation period;
• a large color assortment of materials will allow you to choose the eyebrow tint, perfectly in harmony with the hair color.

For an objective picture, it is worth noting the disadvantages of a similar procedure:

• high price;
• as a result of individual intolerance, very adverse effects can occur.

Such a procedure as a tattoo, known for quite a long time. Modern cosmetology offers women several varieties of this method of eyebrow correction.

• Hair method It consists in drawing each hair so that the result is as natural as possible, but their appearance is still somewhat different from the natural one. This technology requires a highly skilled master, because in this case accuracy is necessary, in addition, hair tattooing takes quite a long time due to its specificity.

• Shooting It is a partial drawing of hairs, while a large part of the pigment is simply shaded. After the tattoo, made in this technique, the eyebrows will have a fairly clear form, and separately traced hairs will be responsible for the natural look. The technique is equally popular among girls with dark and blond hair. On average, the result on the eyebrows will last about two to three years.

• Shadow feathering claimed at the expense of the most natural final result. Eyebrows get a neat and expressive bend.

• Dusting is a kind of coloring of the coloring matter in the upper layer of the epidermis, however, nano-spraying, unlike most of the techniques described above, does not imply that the coloring matter is completely blocked under the skin. Also, micropigmentation is associated with less pain when the maximum natural effect in the end. The popularity of powder coating in recent times only grows.

It is necessary to highlight the positive features of the eyebrow tattoo:

• such procedures can reduce the time spent on fees and makeup;
• the tattoo will not flow on a hot day, nor will it be washed away from rain or sea water, in comparison with a cosmetic pencil or eyeliner;
• quite a long result;
• eyebrows have expressive color and shape.

The disadvantages of the permanent should include the following nuances:

• soreness of the method;
• irreversibility of the process;
• in some cases, the healing process takes a long time.

As for microblading, this cosmetic service is not recommended for everyone. That is why it is necessary to highlight the main cases where the procedure is contraindicated:

• diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2;
• the presence of fresh scars in this area of ​​the face;
• the presence of inflammatory processes of the epidermis;
• poor blood clotting.

Tattoo is not recommended when there is at least one disease indicated below:

• diabetes;
• if the skin has inflammation, eczema, ulcers;
• if the client has cardiovascular health problems;
• asthma;
• individual intolerance to any materials used in the work.

In addition, both tattooing and microblading are not recommended for girls who have a low pain threshold, because the painkillers used will not be able to provide maximum comfort during the introduction of pigment under the skin.

As for pregnant clients and young mothers who are breastfeeding, cosmeticians are recommended to temporarily refuse to perform permanent makeup. This limitation is caused by the peculiarities of the skin of a woman during this period. The fact is that the epidermis loses its elasticity, and this complicates the introduction of the coloring composition, and in some cases it may crystallize altogether.

Having studied the technology of performing eyebrow modeling using tattoo and microblading, it can be noted that these varieties have many similarities, but still differ from each other. The main distinctive features of the procedures include the following nuances:

• microblading is a completely manual correction method, as for the tattoo, it is performed using a special device;
• as for the technique, eyebrow tattooing is performed with a needle, and microblading with a blade;
• the depth of penetration of the tool into the skin also differs: the needle is immersed by 8 mm, and the blade is no deeper than 4 mm;
• the result from the tattoo persists on the skin twice as long as from microblading, and the difference is about 2 years;

• the recovery period after microblading does not exceed a week; as for the tattoo, healing can last about two weeks;
• Since microblading differs in a smaller depth of pigment penetration into the epidermis, it is better tolerated because it is less traumatic, while tattooing hurts because of the depth of needle entry, which more irritates the skin;
• the color of the eyebrows after tattooing will immediately be quite saturated, but it will change with time, while the microblading color, on the contrary, will not change, but over time, of course, it will become more faded;
• It is considered that tattooing is performed much faster, however, each master has his own specifics of work, due to which the session time can vary in one or the other direction.

First of all, you need to consult a doctor, because visiting a specialist will help clarify issues related to possible allergic reactions or other deviations.

After that, it is important not to make a mistake with the choice of the salon and the master - it is necessary that the service technician has the appropriate qualifications, as well as certificates allowing to perform such procedures. It will be useful to get acquainted with the reviews of clients after a particular type of eyebrow correction.

In most cases, the choice in favor of a single eyebrow modeling service is based on cost. An important factor is the sensitivity of the skin and the patience of the client, as well as the frequency of repetition of the permanent and the correction.

At the same time, in the course of one and the second procedure the same task is realized - the master draws each hair.

If we consider feathering or microblading, in this case everything depends on the wishes of the client. When feathering the eyebrows will be quite expressive and bright, since the dyeing of the epidermis, rather than the hairs, is mainly performed; during microblading, the emphasis is on drawing the eyebrow hairs.

The choice of eyebrow correction technique is purely individual, in this case everything depends on personal preferences regarding the appearance of the eyebrows, as well as the state of health.

Considering the cosmetic procedures for modeling eyebrows, it should be noted that such methods involve the penetration of the instrument and the coloring composition under the skin. In the light of certain factors, this may be fraught with the emergence of various kinds of adverse effects. Regarding the tattoo can distinguish a number of potentially unpleasant situations.

• After the master has finished his work, the color of the eyebrows will be quite bright, plus the presence of swelling and reddening will focus on this area of ​​the face. As practice shows, within a few days the brow color will even out.
• The more serious consequences after tattooing include an uneven contour, the heterogeneity of the final color of the eyebrows. Most often, such negative situations arise because of the low qualification of the specialist who performed the procedure. After some time after the final healing of the skin, you will have to seek help from another master to correct the mistakes made.
• In some cases, as a result of the individual characteristics of the organism or the use of non-sterile instruments, the procedure may result in injuries and severe inflammation of the epidermis.

Despite the great popularity of such an innovative procedure as eyebrow microblading, this technology also has pitfalls that women may encounter in the future.

• After healing of micro incisions, they almost do not catch the eye, the hairs look beautiful and harmonious. But if the depth of penetration of the dye was not the same, and also in the light of the fact that the epidermis responds to such a procedure with inflammation, the hairs may stain unevenly. As a result, the result will not be the one that the client dreamed about.
• In addition, if a low-quality dye formulation was used, there is a risk that black eyebrows will eventually turn a bluish tint.
• In the course of microblading, there is a risk of damage to the hair follicles, which can later be fraught with situations when bald spots will appear on the eyebrows.

As for questions, when it is necessary to remove the consequences of an unsuccessful permanent, the special laser will come to the aid of the fair sex.
