What is microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup technique with which we make manual strokes in the eyebrow area to resemble eyebrow hair. It is a makeup that is completely erased from the skin since the pigment remains in the superficial layer. Its duration is between 8 months and 1 year depending on the type of skin and care.

The result is that it seems that you have much fuller eyebrows with a more natural and beautiful shape .

Microblading needles

The manual strokes that are made to draw the eyebrow hairs on the skin are done with special microblading needles . These microblading needles are sterilized and sealed in individual packages to prevent contamination. This will avoid any type of infection during the service. You can never reuse a needle .

We can find different types of needles that vary from the number of points, shape and thickness. Each one fulfills its function, being able to make thin or thick, curved or smooth strokes, or even shading the eyebrow.

Types of microblading needles:

•         3-prong needle : Indicated for creating the eyeliner line on the eyes. It can also be used to mark the contour of the eyebrow.
•         7-prong needle : Indicated for making fine strokes on sparse and thin eyebrows. They simulate the finest hairs that make up the eyebrow.
•         Skewed 12-prong needle : Suitable for making long, thicker strokes. It can only be used on eyebrows that already have hair.
•         14-prong U-shaped needle : Suitable for making strokes in both directions and going over the hair without damaging the skin. It can also be used to perform microblading on the lips.
•         9-prong needle for shading : Indicated for marking the outer line and filling in very specific areas of the eyebrow.
•         12-prong needle for shading : Suitable for shading the head and tail of the eyebrow since its prongs are very short and allow you to work with great precision.
•         Needle group of 4 prongs : Indicated for broadly shading the entire eyebrow.
•         18-tooth U-shaped needle : Suitable for shading vertically, leaving a very natural effect.

Other products for microblading

In this category we can also find the microblading kit . A very complete kit to start carrying out the treatment. This kit is composed of two synthetic skins for practice, a methacrylate eyebrow gauge, 5 rings to deposit the pigment, 10 3-prong needles, 5 12-prong needles, 5 14-prong U-shaped needles.

The support for the microblading pen is very useful. It is used to store the pen when we are not using it during the service in a way that prevents contact of the needle with any surface, preventing contamination.
