What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique that creates the appearance of natural, fuller eyebrows. During the procedure, a skilled technician uses a handheld tool with tiny needles to deposit pigment into the skin. This creates hair-like strokes that blend seamlessly with your existing brow hairs. The result is beautifully shaped and defined brows that last for up to two years.

The Microblading Process

Step 1: Consultation

Before the actual procedure, you'll have a consultation with one of our Vtina Beauty technicians to discuss your brow goals and choose the right shape and color to complement your features. Our team is highly trained to create custom brow designs that enhance your natural beauty.

Step 2: Mapping and Design

Once you and your technician have agreed on your desired brow shape, they'll map out your brows using professional tools and techniques. This ensures that the final result is symmetrical and tailored to your face.

Step 3: Numbing and Pigment Selection

To ensure a comfortable experience, our technician will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area. Meanwhile, they'll also determine the perfect pigment shade to match your natural brow color.

Step 4: The Microblading Procedure

Using the handheld microblading tool, the technician will create tiny, hair-like strokes by depositing pigment into the upper layers of your skin. The entire process typically takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the desired brow thickness and shape.

Step 5: Aftercare and Touch-ups

Following the procedure, you'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results. To maintain your beautiful new brows, a touch-up appointment is recommended within 6-8 weeks.

How to Maintain Your Microbladed Brows

The longevity of your microbladed brows depends on how well you care for them after the procedure. Follow these tips to keep your brows looking fresh and natural for as long as possible:

1. Keep the area clean and dry: Avoid getting your brows wet for at least 10 days after the procedure. When washing your face, use a gentle cleanser and avoid the brow area.

2. Avoid sun exposure: Too much sun can cause the pigment to fade more quickly. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your brows when outdoors.

3. Don't pick at your brows: As your brows heal, you may experience slight itching and flaking. Resist the urge to scratch or pick at the treated area, as this can cause scarring or pigment loss.

4. Follow aftercare instructions: Your Vtina Beauty technician will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. Adhering to these guidelines will help extend the life of your microbladed brows.

Microblading is a fantastic option for those looking to enhance their brows and simplify their daily routine. With proper care, your microbladed brows will remain beautiful and natural-looking for up to two years.
