Microblading

Eyebrows are more than just a feature; they frame your face, define your expressions, and elevate your overall look. Over time, eyebrow trends have evolved from thin, barely-there lines to fuller, more natural arches that highlight your unique beauty. If you find yourself constantly perfecting your brows with pencils, powders, or gels, microblading offers a game-changing solution. This semi-permanent cosmetic treatment delivers natural, effortless brows tailored to your individual style. In this guide, we'll explore everything you need to know about microblading—what it is, how it works, and what you can expect from the experience.

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that uses a specialized tool to deposit pigment into the skin. Unlike traditional tattooing, which uses a machine and penetrates deeper into the skin, microblading involves using a handheld tool with ultra-fine needles. These needles create hair-like strokes that mimic the natural appearance of eyebrow hairs.

The pigment used in microblading is also different from traditional tattoo ink. It’s specifically designed to fade gradually over time, allowing for adjustments as your natural eyebrow shape or colour preferences change.

The Microblading Process: What to Expect

  • 1. Consultation

    Before the procedure, you'll have a consultation with me. We will discuss your desired eyebrow shape, colour, and overall look. I will also assess your skin type and facial structure and any other lifestyle factors. I will then recommend the best approach for your brows. At Anna K, educating our customers and empowering them by sharing our knowledge is key. You will be talked through every step of the process and furnished with the knowledge to come to a great decision together.

  • 2. Numbing

    To ensure comfort during the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the eyebrow area. This helps minimize any pain or discomfort you might feel during the microblading process.

  • 3. Shaping

    I will measure your shape in accordance with your own facial morphology using a golden ratio compass and Phibrows digital application. Each persons shape is unique to them and is not a one size fits all approach. I prefer a soft feminine approach to brows with beautifully built arches and soft curves to enhance our femininity. Eyebrows should never be dominant on your face, but instead frame your eyes in an elegant fashion.

  • 4. Microblading

    Using a handheld tool consisting of tiny needles, Anna will implant pigment in the skin creating hyper realistic hair like strokes that mimic the natural hair of your eyebrows. The process can take approximately 3 hours, depending on the complexity of your desired look and skin.

  • 5. Aftercare

    After the procedure, we will provide you with aftercare instructions. This usually includes avoiding water on the brows for a few days, applying a healing ointment, and avoiding sun exposure and any cosmetics around the brow region. Avoiding rigorous exercise is also advisable to avoid any infection and poor pigment retention.

Benefits of Microblading

  • 1. Time-Saving

    Imagine waking up every morning with perfectly shaped eyebrows. Microblading eliminates the need for daily eyebrow makeup, saving you valuable time in your beauty routine.

  • 2. Natural-Looking Results

    The precision of microblading allows for incredibly natural results. The hair-like strokes blend seamlessly with your natural brows, giving you a fuller yet natural look.

  • 3. Long-Lasting

    While microblading is semi-permanent, it typically lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type and aftercare.

  • 4. Customisable

    Every pair of eyebrows is unique. Microblading is fully customizable to suit your face shape, natural brow colour, and personal preferences.
