Eyebrows have gained so much prominence that more and more beauty treatments are available to highlight and beautify this part of the face. Among the treatments that are most in demand, there is microblading and also classic micropigmentation , although the latter technique is much less, since its results are not so natural.
In addition, currently the most popular eyebrow style is that of natural , thick eyebrows and even with a disheveled point . And for those who do not have too thick or wide eyebrows, and want to follow this trend with a lasting result, microblading is undoubtedly the best solution.
Microblading consists of shaping the eyebrows and filling in gaps with a pigment that is deposited in the dermis , so it is a semi-permanent result. And what makes this treatment so demanded is its ultra-natural results. This is achieved thanks to the fact that when filling in the eyebrows, hair-shaped strokes are made that integrate perfectly with the natural hair. And this is the big difference between micropigmentation, which consists of designing eyebrows by depositing the pigment without creating a hair effect, and its results are also semi-permanent, but less natural than microblading.
However, like everything in life, to obtain the best results you have to put yourself in the hands of the best professionals , because if it is not like that, you can get unwanted effects. Although the good news is that microblading can also be removed if you have had a bad experience.
The expert clarifies all doubts
Before carrying out any treatment, whether aesthetic or not, it is worth informing us of the possible risks that it may entail and even in the case of not being satisfied with the result if they are reversible.
It is true that microblading or micropigmentation is often talked about as a good solution to achieve more beautiful and perfect eyebrows, and that is the case, especially when we see jobs well done. But on the other hand, we also wanted to know about the risks that these techniques can have . For this reason, we have had the eyebrow specialist Valentina Troni from Tebori Brows, to clarify all the doubts and how much there is truth in everything that is said about it.
It is not difficult to find information on the internet about microblading or micropigmentation, and some of the risks that can be run with these techniques. One of the most discussed is the possibility of hypertrophic or keloid scars. In this case, Valentina has told us that it is very difficult for this to happen, in fact, all the time that she has been doing eyebrows, she has never seen a keloid scar or a hypertrophic scar , which is super rare for that to happen.
This does not mean that in any of the cases it can happen. But according to the expert, this could happen more in the event of a poor practice of the technique, such as excessive pressure being exerted when performing microblading, something that should not happen. Hence the importance of always putting yourself in the hands of professionals.
Regarding possible infections , Troni clarifies that it is also very rare for this to happen, but like everything else, if the care and recommendations that they send us, both for cleaning and protection, are not followed, bacteria could proliferate. and end in an infection. But following the guidelines after performing a microblading, it is very difficult for infections to be created.
And on the subject of allergies to pigments? It is not common either, Valentina tells us. The pigments used are super safe and pass high quality controls. In addition, as the expert clarifies, today there are two types of pigments used in micropigmentation, organic and inorganic, which do contain metal derivatives, but for example nickel is no longer used because it is highly allergic .
Now other ingredients are used, such as iron oxide or carbon derivatives , ingredients that do not produce toxicity and that we find in a wide variety of commonly used cosmetics. And in the case of micropigmentation, the pigments are implanted in a very superficial layer of the skin, so they usually do not cause any problems.
As we have already said, both microblading and micropigmentation are semi-permanent techniques. Therefore, the result will change over time , since the ink in both cases is only deposited in the dermis. Which means that if we want to maintain these results, the procedure will have to be carried out again. And this is where other doubts can arise that Valentina also clarifies for us.
Other information that we have come to find on the internet is that touch-ups can lead to follicular death , which would lead to hair loss in the eyebrows due to the obstruction caused by the pigment, especially when we talk about several touch-ups. And here the expert does not hesitate to answer us with a resounding no , because the pigment that is deposited in the most superficial dermis would in no case obstruct the hair follicle that is deeper.
We have also wanted to clarify the issue of people with diabetes or coagulation problems , since we have seen that in both cases these procedures are not recommended. But Valentina, far from being alarmist, has left us super calm with her words. In the case of people with diabetes, it is recommended to change their diet and those with coagulation problems, their medication is withdrawn 48 hours before performing the microblading. Even so, the expert clarifies that with these procedures the bleeding is very superficial.
