Microblading is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a handheld device to create hair-like strokes in the eyebrow region. The goal is to create a natural-looking eyebrow that enhances the individual's features.
Combination microblading is a technique that combines the use of microblading with shading. In this article, we will discuss the process of combination microblading, its benefits and risks, and what to expect during the healing process.
What is Combination Microblading?
Combination microblading is a cosmetic procedure that combines the use of microblading with shading. The goal of combination microblading is to create a more defined and fuller-looking eyebrow. The procedure involves the use of a handheld device that creates small hair-like strokes in the eyebrow area. After the hair-like strokes are created, a shading technique is used to fill in the spaces between the strokes. The result is a more defined and fuller-looking eyebrow.
Benefits of Combination Microblading
One of the main benefits of combination microblading is that it provides a natural-looking eyebrow. The combination of microblading and shading creates a more defined and fuller-looking eyebrow without looking overdone. The procedure is also a time-saver as it eliminates the need to fill in eyebrows every day with makeup.
Risks of Combination Microblading
Like any cosmetic procedure, there are risks associated with combination microblading. The procedure involves the use of needles that penetrate the skin. This can cause bleeding, bruising, and scarring. There is also a risk of infection if the equipment is not properly sterilized. Allergic reactions to the ink used in the procedure are rare but can occur. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced professional to perform the procedure to minimize these risks.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Before the procedure, the technician will discuss the desired eyebrow shape and color with the client. The technician will then use a pencil to draw the desired shape of the eyebrow on the client's skin. This will serve as a guide during the procedure. The technician will then use a handheld device with a small blade to create small hair-like strokes in the eyebrow area. After the hair-like strokes are created, the shading technique is used to fill in the spaces between the strokes. The entire process takes approximately two hours to complete.
What to Expect During the Healing Process
After the procedure, the client's eyebrows will appear darker than desired. This is normal and is due to the ink used in the procedure.
The color will fade over the next few days, and the eyebrows will appear lighter. It is important to avoid getting the eyebrows wet for the first few days after the procedure to allow the ink to set. It is also important to avoid picking at the scabs that will form in the eyebrow area as this can cause scarring.
The eyebrows will take approximately two weeks to fully heal, and a touch-up appointment may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
Combination microblading is a cosmetic procedure that combines the use of microblading with shading to create a more defined and fuller-looking eyebrow. The procedure provides a natural-looking eyebrow that eliminates the need for daily makeup application.
While there are risks associated with the procedure, choosing a qualified and experienced professional can minimize these risks. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the technician to ensure proper healing. Overall, combination microblading is a safe and effective way to enhance the appearance of eyebrows.
