Power Of The Brow
A2 Aesthetic and Anti-Ageing Magazine|Spring 2017 - Issue 23
Jack Black once said: “Never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.” This certainly rings true, especially when one considers the amazing difference a simple eyebrow shape and tint can make in one’s facial appearance and overall look. This is one of the many reasons why microblading is rapidly becoming the must-have beauty procedure for brows.

Power Of The Brow

Microblading, eyebrow embroidery, brow feathering… the treatment goes by many names. It is a manual method of semi-permanent makeup, with results lasting anywhere from one to three years. However, this is all dependant on different factors affecting the procedure, such as sun exposure, chemical facial treatments, skincare products that contain exfoliating agents, and the client’s own natural rate of skin cell turnover (to name but a few). Additionally, a touchup once a year is recommended to retain the shape and saturation of the pigment.

The treatment is done manually, using a very fine blade to deposit pigments into the epidermis – and because we’re impacting colour closer to the surface, the strokes appear crisp and very fine, with no ‘spilling’ under the skin. This results in a natural-looking, hair-like stroke appearance, regardless of the amount of hair present.
