Microblading has become one of the most popular and requested beauty treatments in the aesthetics industry. The start of the autumn-winter season usually triggers a surge in requests for this treatment at salons, since in summer it's less common because the skin is more exposed to the sun and it's not recommended.
As a beauty professional offering this service at your salon, you know there are many Frequently Asked Questions About Microblading that you'll typically receive, and it's essential to be prepared to answer them and attend to your clients properly.
In this article, we'll cover the most common questions about microblading and provide detailed answers so you can offer a quality service and reassure your clients.
1. What is microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent make-up technique used to enhance the appearance of the eyebrows. It's performed by making small, superficial incisions in the skin with a metal pen and a special needle, which deposits pigment and achieves a 3D design. The result is very natural, fuller-looking eyebrows.
2. How long do microblading results last on the eyebrows?
This is one of the most frequent questions you'll receive. Results from this treatment usually last between 8 and 12 months, depending on the client's skin type and aftercare. It's important to point out that microblading is semi-permanent, meaning that over time the pigment will fade and a touch-up will need to be scheduled to maintain the eyebrow design.
3. How long does the microblading treatment take?
The time the microblading procedure takes can vary, but it generally lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This includes the initial consultation, preparing the eyebrows and applying the pigment. It's important to let your clients know that microblading is not a procedure that can be rushed, since precision is essential for satisfactory results.
4. Is microblading painful?
This is another of the most frequently asked questions. It's important to explain to your clients that microblading is generally not painful, but they may feel slight discomfort or a burning sensation during the procedure. To minimise any discomfort, a topical anaesthetic is used before the procedure.
5. What should I keep in mind before getting microblading done?
It's recommended not to undergo any aggressive facial treatment in the week before the treatment. In the 24 hours before the treatment, it's advisable to avoid stimulants, caffeinated or theine-containing drinks, aspirin, alcohol and vasodilators.
6. In which cases is microblading for eyebrows indicated?
Microblading is suitable for most people, but it's essential to carry out a prior consultation to determine each client's suitability. In general, microblading is ideal for people who want to improve the shape, density or appearance of their eyebrows. However, you should let your clients know that certain medical conditions, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes or autoimmune diseases, may affect the treatment's suitability.
7. Is microblading safe?
To offer your client a safe service it's important to have proper training, the necessary experience, to use quality products and to carry out the treatment in a safe, clean and sterile environment. Following these guidelines, we can say yes, microblading is generally safe. It's essential that you follow safety guidelines, such as using disposable needles and properly sterilising equipment. You should also inform your clients about possible complications, such as infections or allergic reactions, so they're informed and prepared.
8. What time of year is recommended for microblading?
It can actually be done at any time of year, but since sun exposure isn't recommended in the days afterwards, it's preferable to avoid summer.
9. Will I have any immediate cosmetic change after getting microblading done?
This treatment only causes slight redness in the eyebrow area, which fades within hours. In the first few hours, the eyebrows look between 30% and 40% more intense than how they'll end up looking, but it's not so noticeable that your clients can't leave the house or that anything looks odd.
10. What's the aftercare following microblading?
Finally, we answer another of the most frequently asked questions, and perhaps the one we should emphasise most, since the treatment's lasting results depend on it.
Advise your clients to avoid vigorous activities, such as intense exercise, in the first few days after the procedure. Also, during the first few days, they should avoid exposure to water and sun and avoid using make-up on the eyebrows, as well as avoid touching the scabs that form during healing, since doing so removes part of the pigment. Assure them that following these recommendations will help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Finally, don't forget to remind them that it's important to come back at 21 days for the touch-up.
In short, microblading is an increasingly popular beauty treatment, and as a beauty professional, you should be prepared to answer your clients' frequently asked questions with clear, accurate answers. Education and communication are key to providing a quality service and ensuring your clients' satisfaction.
