This brow treatment can last up to 30 months, as the pigment won’t wash away because it’s under the skin. Microblading comes with a few risks because it is a more invasive brow transformation. Infections are a possibility, as small scratches are made across the skin.
This treatment typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks. Brow lamination is a relatively safe brow transformation, but the process can dry out your hair and skin. It’s possible to do brow lamination at home with a brow lamination kit. Brow lamination can be done over microbladed brows, especially as the microblading pigment fades.
Touch ups and brow tinting may be required after a microblade treatment, even though it’s a semi-permanent transformation, especially as it begins to fade.
Now, microblading may be more cost-effective in the long run, considering how long it lasts. If you know you want to change your natural brow, one microblading procedure could save you money compared to a brow lamination every 6 weeks.
A numbing cream is used before a microblading procedure, but the sound and sensation of the needles may be unnerving for some.
For the first 48 hours, avoid touching the brow, working out, or getting your brows wet. For the first week, wash with only water, pat dry, and avoid exfoliants and makeup. For the second week, slowly start introducing face wash. Apply an aftercare ointment as instructed by your aesthetician to prevent infection.
If you’re looking for a temporary way to keep your brows uniform, opt for brow lamination. If you want your brows to appear bolder and fuller for longer without makeup, try microblading.
This non-invasive brow treatment usually lasts 4 to 6 weeks and costs between $20 and $40. Brow tinting can easily be done at home with a brow tinting kit, which makes it even more accessible than microblading.
