Microblading, Orpington
Microblading for Orpington & the surrounding areas
Microblading, a semi-permanent cosmetic technique, has gained significant popularity in recent years for its ability to create natural-looking eyebrows. Unlike traditional tattooing, this treatment uses a specialized handheld tool to deposit pigment into the skin, mimicking the appearance of hair strokes. This was the first procedure to be offered at Luxina, Br6 (Farnborough Village, High Street).
Procedure:
Before undergoing microblading at our Orpington clinic clients typically engage in a consultation. During this initial meeting, the technician assesses the client’s facial structure, skin type, and desired brow shape. It’s essential to establish realistic expectations, as outcomes can vary based on individual features and skin characteristics.
The steps:
- Preparation: the technician cleanses the brow area and applies a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the process.
- Design and measurement: using brow mapping techniques, the technician outlines the ideal brow shape tailored to the client’s features.
- Using a sterile tool, the technician carefully etches hair-like strokes into the skin, applying pigment to achieve the desired color and density.
- Aftercare instructions: post-procedure care is crucial for optimal healing and results. Clients at our Orpington clinic receive detailed aftercare instructions to prevent infection and ensure proper pigment retention.
Advantages of Microblading
Natural look: one of the primary benefits of this treatment is its ability to provide a very natural appearance. The precise application mimics real hair, making it indistinguishable from natural brows.
Time-saving: for individuals who spend considerable time on daily brow makeup, microblading can significantly reduce the time spent on grooming routines.
Long-lasting results: typically, microblading results can last between one to three years, depending on skin type and lifestyle, making it a long-lasting solution compared to regular makeup.
Customization: each microblading session can be tailored to the client’s specific desires, allowing for a personalized approach to eyebrow enhancement.
Considerations and Risks
While this treatment offers numerous benefits, it is vital to consider potential risks and limitations:
Skin sensitivity: clients with sensitive skin or certain medical conditions may not be suitable candidates for this treatment.
Color fading: over time, the pigment may fade due to exposure to sunlight, skin type, and aftercare practices, necessitating periodic touch-ups.
Infection risk: as with any cosmetic procedure that breaks the skin barrier, there is a risk of infection if proper hygiene practices are not followed.
Not Suitable For:
- Individuals prone to keloids
- Individuals allergic to numbing agents
- Individuals on blood thinners
- Individuals on chemotherapy (2 months before chemo sessions or 6-12 after finished)
- Individuals with very oily skin
- Individuals pregnant or nursing
- Individuals with transmittable blood diseases
- Individuals with botox/fillers (4 weeks before or after botox/filler procedure)
- Underage individuals (under 18)
The consultation form will be sent via email once booking is confirmed which will need to be signed before the appointment. It will contain pre & aftercare advice.
This treatment can be a transformative procedure for those looking to enhance their eyebrows with a natural, long-lasting solution.
