Which is better: tattoo 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 issue of finding the most suitable option. Most often, the choice is between tattooing and microblading.

Eyebrows have always been a very important area on the face, and their shape and appearance underwent various changes, following fashion trends. You can ask them the desired bend or adjust the color using various methods, including staining. To the fair sex, who for one reason or another do not have beautiful eyebrows, or they do not correspond to current trends, the issue can be resolved using various cosmetic procedures, which include tattooing and microblading.

However, the problem of choosing a pigment application technique for women who decide to make a long-term permanent can be very serious. That is why it is necessary to have a clear idea regarding 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 eyebrows in this technique, the specialist uses a special blade, due to which pigment is introduced into the upper layer of the epidermis. As a result, neat and clear strokes form on the skin, without any blurry lines.This procedure is not so demanding in terms of subsequent care for the eyebrow area, in comparison with tattooing.

Today, in beauty salons, customers are offered two types of microblading.

• European permanent makeup technique - it is also called a mannequin. During the drawing of the hairs, the master performs them of the same size, in addition, they are located in the same direction. As a result, eyebrows acquire an 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 time-consuming, but the method allows you 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 introduced under the skin by no more than 4 mm. Most often, the work is performed after the treatment of the eyebrow zone with anesthetic gel. During healing, on the second day, crusting occurs. Visually, they are practically invisible, and, as a rule, they peel off after 3-5 days.

According to reviews of clients who performed eyebrow microblading, the simulation result is preserved for about two years, subject to competent care.

It is worth having the most complete understanding of the specifics of the procedure, therefore it is necessary to highlight the advantages of such a permanent:

• the technology allows for the correction of the shape and color of eyebrows
• the method described above has practically no side effects;
• a natural composition is used as a coloring pigment, so its disappearance will take place gradually, without sharp 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 range of materials will allow you to choose a shade of eyebrows that perfectly harmonizes with the color of your hair.

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

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

Such a procedure as tattooing has been known for quite some 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 highly skilled craftsmen, since accuracy is necessary in this matter, in addition, hair tattooing is performed for a long time due to its specificity.

• Shoting represents a partial drawing of the hairs, while most of the pigment is simply shaded. After a tattoo done in this technique, the eyebrows will have a fairly clear shape, and the separately drawn hairs will be responsible for the natural look. The technique is equally popular among girls with dark and blonde hair. On average, the result on the eyebrows will last about two to three years.

• Shadow shading demanded due to the maximum natural outcome. Eyebrows get a neat and expressive bend.

• Spraying It is a type of shading of the coloring matter in the upper layer of the epidermis, however, nano-spraying, unlike most of the techniques described above, does not imply a complete clogging of the coloring matter under the skin. Also, micropigmentation is associated with less pain with maximum natural effect in the end. The popularity of powder spraying has only been growing recently.

It is worth highlighting the positive features of eyebrow tattooing:

• such procedures can reduce the time spent on makeup and makeup;
• the tattoo will not leak on a hot day, and also will not be washed off from rain or sea water, in comparison with a cosmetic pencil or eyeliner;
• quite a long result;
• Eyebrows have an expressive color and shape.

The disadvantages of the permanent include the following nuances:

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

As regards microblading, such a cosmetic service is not recommended for everyone. That is why it is worth highlighting the main cases when the procedure is contraindicated:

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

Tattooing is not recommended in the presence of at least one disease indicated below:

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

In addition, both tattooing and microblading are not recommended for girls with a low pain threshold, since 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, cosmetologists recommend that they temporarily refuse to perform permanent makeup. This restriction is due to 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 can crystallize at all.

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

• microblading is a completely manual correction method, as for tattooing, it is performed using a special device;
• as for the technique, the eyebrow tattoo is done with a needle, and microblading with a blade;
• the depth of penetration of the instrument into the skin also varies: the needle is immersed 8 mm and the blade no deeper than 4 mm;
• the result from tattooing is stored 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 tattooing, healing can last about two weeks;
• since microblading has a smaller penetration depth of the pigment into the epidermis, it is better tolerated, since it is less traumatic, but it is painful to make a tattoo because of the depth of the needle, which irritates the skin more;
• the color of the eyebrows after tattooing will immediately be quite saturated, but will change over time, while the microblading color, on the contrary, does not change, but over time, of course, it will become faded;
• it is generally accepted that tattooing is performed much faster, but each master has his own specifics of work, due to which the session time can vary both in one direction and in the other.

First of all, you need to consult a doctor, because a visit to a specialist will help to find out questions regarding possible allergic reactions or other deviations.

After this, it is important not to make a mistake with the choice of the salon and the master - it is necessary that the service specialist have the appropriate qualifications, as well as certificates that allow performing such procedures. It will be useful to get acquainted with the reviews of clients after carrying out one or another 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 patient patience, as well as the frequency of the repetition of the permanent and the correction.

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

If we consider shading or microblading, in this case it all depends on the wishes of the client. When shading, the eyebrows will be quite expressive and bright, since the epidermis is colored mainly, not the hairs, while microblading, the emphasis is on drawing exactly the eyebrow hairs.

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

Considering cosmetic eyebrow modeling procedures, it should be noted that such methods include the penetration of the instrument and the coloring composition under the skin. In the light of various factors, this may be fraught with the appearance of various kinds of adverse consequences. Regarding tattooing, a number of potentially unpleasant situations can be distinguished.

• After the master has completed his work, the color of the eyebrows will be quite bright, plus the presence of edema and redness will emphasize this area of ​​the face. As practice shows, within a few days, the shade of the eyebrows will even out.
• The more serious consequences after tattooing include an uneven contour, heterogeneity of the final color of the eyebrows. Most often, such negative situations arise due to the low qualification of the specialist who performed the procedure. 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 individual characteristics of the body or the use of non-sterile instruments, the procedure can lead to injuries and serious inflammation of the epidermis.

Despite the great popularity of such an innovative procedure as microblading eyebrows, this technology also has pitfalls that women may encounter later on.

• After the healing of micro incisions, they practically do not catch the eye, the hairs look beautiful and harmonious. But if the depth of penetration of the paint was not the same, and also in light of the fact that the epidermis reacts to such a procedure with inflammation, the hairs can dye unevenly. As a result, the result will not be what the client dreamed about.
• In addition, if a low-quality coloring compound was used, there is a risk that the black eyebrows will eventually become bluish.
• During microblading, there is a risk of damage to the hair follicles, which in the future can be fraught with situations when bald spots will form on the eyebrows.

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