Eyebrow permanent makeup

Graceful eyebrows, which have a well-chosen shape, color and bend, can decorate the face, divert attention from its shortcomings and emphasize the beauty and radiance of the eyes. To correct eyebrows in the case when they lack expressiveness, various permanent makeup techniques are used.

Permanent makeup is a cosmetic procedure that helps improve the appearance of existing eyebrows. With its help, you can radically correct their contour, paint over sparse eyebrows, add color and brightness to light, expressionless eyebrows, and generally get rid of the need for daily care for them.

In addition, such a correction can significantly increase the self-esteem of people who lack natural eyebrows as a result of illness, genetic problems or medical procedures.

The basis of all the techniques used in the application of permanent makeup is the penetration of the coloring pigment under the skin, so it is safe to call this procedure a kind of classic tattoo.

As you know, any tattoo is performed using needles of different thickness and injecting dye under the client's skin. Before the injections, an anesthetic is applied to the surface of the skin, usually a gel containing an anesthetic substance (for example, lidocaine).

Judging by the reviews of girls who have done permanent makeup for their eyebrows, this procedure is quite painful, the degree of discomfort depends on the chosen technique and on the individual pain threshold of a person.

The process of powder spraying is the least painful, this is due to the small depth of punctures and the fact that this technique does not require dense filling of the entire space of the eyebrow with pigment. However, the disadvantage of this technique can be called a much shorter preservation of the result: powder eyebrows will last a year and a half. The most painful sensations are described by clients who have undergone a classic tattoo procedure, designed for a period of three to five years.

Beauty salons that provide permanent eyebrow makeup services call this procedure by many different names. The methods of tattooing on the surface of the eyebrows currently used can be reduced to three main varieties:

• Eyebrow hair tattoo, which can be classic (European) or oriental;
• Microblading, which is also called 6D technique, biotattoo, HD line brows, 6D eyebrow micropigmentation;
• Powder techniques for spraying eyebrows, which have other names: tattooing with shading, shotting, velvet spraying, watercolor, pixel, dot, shadow, etc.

This technique got its name from the drawing method used by the master. When applying the pigment, he draws each of the imaginary hairs in the template, creating their length, thickness, direction of growth. When applying a technique called the European hairs of the drawn eyebrow, they are approximately the same length and lie in the direction of growth. Oriental technique is more complicated, it requires the master to imitate the natural crossing of hairs of different lengths and shades, while the tattoo looks more natural.

With this method of tattooing, the hairs are drawn more thinly, they have a different thickness, their natural bend and various shades are imitated. In this case, the penetration of the dye occurs to a smaller depth of the epidermis, which means that the pain from injections is less sensitive and healing occurs faster.

When carrying out microblading, a maniple handle is used, which differs from a tattoo machine in a more gentle effect. The applied eyebrows require additional correction, which is carried out after one and a half or two months. The effect lasts for approximately three years.

This procedure is multi-layered, the final appearance of the eyebrows, their saturation and the period for which the effect will last will depend on the number of corrections. When performing this correction, the master device, which looks like a felt-tip pen, sprays the smallest splashes of pigment under the skin, creating an eyebrow contour according to a pre-selected template.

The duration of the pigment is about a year, the durability and color saturation will depend on the number of corrections.

All types of permanent eyebrow correction are performed in salon conditions.

It is very important to choose an experienced master with good artistic taste, who is a specialist in permanent makeup of the eyebrows. An inexperienced specialist can inadvertently draw eyebrows in a very unexpected way. Of course, in case of unsuccessful tattooing, drawing can be eliminated with the help of laser removal, but we must remember that this can lead to damage to the hair follicles, and ultimately to the loss of the existing eyebrow.

It is important to start taking allergy medication before visiting the salon, approximately three days before the scheduled procedure. On the day of the visit, you should not get carried away with coffee or drink alcoholic beverages, which can contribute to excessive bleeding from punctures, since the pigment will also flow out along with the ichor, which will negate the application of paint.

Initially, the client, together with the master, chooses a form - a template and a technique in which the correction procedure will be performed. This stage takes quite a long time, not less than an hour, since the appearance of the eyebrows will depend on a well-chosen template and the conformity of the execution technique. The shape of the template is applied to the surface of the skin with a cosmetic pencil.

A good master will definitely explain what kind of pigment the tattoo will be applied, natural or synthetic. He will also do a test sample for a possible allergy.

Before the procedure, an anesthetic gel is applied to the surface of the skin, which helps to anesthetize the area.During the tattoo procedure, disposable needles are necessarily used, which the master opens immediately before the execution.

When applying a hair tattoo, punctures are made to a small depth inside the epidermis, but even this is enough for blood or lymph to begin to flow out of the wounds. Microblading is a more gentle technique. Powder shading will be the least traumatic, which is considered a bloodless procedure in which the pigment is sprayed into the upper layer of the epidermis.

The time it takes the artist to apply the pattern will also vary depending on the technique chosen. On average, work on each eyebrow takes from half an hour to an hour.

Adverse reactions to procedures may include local irritation, swelling, pain, redness, and the risk of infection. In addition, a hematoma may occur in the area of ​​application. Although the risk of infection is very low, if sterile needles are used during the procedure, infection can still enter the wounds. Signs of infection may include severe swelling, wound drainage, and fever. If an infection occurs, antibiotics may be needed to avoid complications such as scarring, so you will need to see a doctor.

Usually, after the end of the procedure, the master instructs the client in detail on how to behave for the best healing of the tattooed areas and gives out a tube of anti-inflammatory ointment.

Permanent eyebrow makeup can last from a few months to five years. How long beautiful and well-groomed eyebrows last depends on several factors:

1. Chosen application technique;
2. The pigment used;
3. number of corrections.

Eyebrows made using the hair technique will last the longest, they can last more than three years (up to a maximum of five years), especially if the paint contains inorganic pigments. A vegetable dye will break down faster, especially during peelings and other cosmetic procedures, than a mineral one. In any case, you should not expose permanent eyebrows to such influences.

Eyebrows made using the microblading technique will require mandatory correction in a month and a half, because the pigment is applied shallowly under the skin and therefore is quickly rejected by the body. The client's skin type is important, as the pattern will disappear faster on oily and regenerating skin. Fragmentary fading of the eyebrow is possible, while timely correction in the salon will help correct the situation.

How long the powder coating lasts depends on the number of layers of paint applied to the skin. Usually, in one visit to the studio, you can make one layer of spraying, a maximum of two. At the same time, in order for the effect to last about a year, about five layers of dye are needed. These nuances should be discussed with the master when choosing a performance technique.

After applying permanent makeup on the eyebrows, they will look noticeably more well-groomed, as if they had just been touched up at any time of the day and under any weather conditions. This is especially impressive during a vacation at sea or on a camping trip, in conditions when there is no time to do makeup.

After hair drawing, the eyebrows will acquire their permanent appearance in about 8-10 days, although you can see the approximate result already when you leave the salon. The color obtained immediately after applying the pigment will be brighter and more saturated, subsequently it will acquire its true shade. The shape of the eyebrows will remain the one drawn by the master, although if the client does not like something, it can be corrected, but only in the direction of increasing the area.

Microblading will also allow you to see the preliminary result in the very first minutes after applying the drawing, then the color will fade, the pigment will be partially rejected by the body, and therefore, after 40 or 45 days, corrective painting will be required.

The most impressive look immediately after applying the contour makeup of the eyebrows, made using the technique of powder spraying. They are immediately “live”, quite thick, beautifully and softly shaded. The color will fade within a month, it may even be completely washed off, which is caused by the rejection of the coloring pigment by the immune system of the body, so you should not wait for such a result, it is better to come to the correction early and keep the eyebrow contour that you liked and has already become familiar. At the same time, if the drawing of the eyebrows during this time seemed not entirely successful to the client, she can wait for the pigment to wash out and redo it with a new template.

After finishing the work, the master must definitely advise the client how long the tattoo heals and how to care for the eyebrows at this time in order to get the best result. On the first day, the injection site tingles, some girls even say that they have to take painkillers. Eyebrows look unnaturally bright, swelling may appear, they must be moistened with a solution of chlorhexine every hour, treated with ointment "Bepanten +". On the second day, the redness may disappear, but it is still necessary to continue the treatment with disinfectants, do not wet the eyebrows with water and do not go outside, so as not to bring the infection. After 2 days, the swelling subsides, but the color of the eyebrows remains too saturated; care is still required in the form of a healing ointment.

After three days, crusts appear on the eyebrows, which are very itchy, they cannot be torn off, since the pigment can fall off along with them; they must be treated with a healing ointment and wait until they come off on their own. On the fifth and sixth day, the crusts gradually peel off, leaving behind lighter eyebrows that have an almost finished look. The final color of the eyebrows is obtained only after a month. During the entire healing period, you can not wet your eyebrows, go to the sauna or pool.

The easiest way to remove a tattoo made with plant pigments. This applies to all types of technology. Powder coating is also easily washed off, since it is applied very shallowly and the epidermis, renewing itself in a natural way, gets rid of the dye.

A professional tattoo bleaching liquid or a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution can help to wash off an objectionable shade by lightening permanent makeup by several tones.

In order to completely remove the pattern, you will have to carry out laser makeup removal. For persistent mineral dyes, several sessions will be required.

The question that many girls ask when choosing which technique to use for permanent eyebrow makeup may sound a little different. It is worth comparing the hair method with microblading, since they have similar ways of drawing eyebrow hairs, the difference is only in the delicacy of the lines. In this comparison, the microblading technique undoubtedly has an advantage, since the rendering is more subtle and natural.

When girls decide to create permanent makeup, they are well aware that this procedure has both undoubted pluses and minuses.

The positive points include the following:

1. Permanent makeup of the eyebrows decorates the face, makes it more expressive and well-groomed;
2. Helps girls with expressionless eyebrows look brighter and more spectacular;
3. This is a fashion trend that is at the peak of popularity at this time;
4. Eyebrow tattooing saves a lot of time on creating a make-up;
5. Allows you to be "fully armed" on the beach or on a camping trip;
6. If the eyebrows had any pronounced defects (uneven hair growth, bald spots, scars, age spots), then they can be hidden.

The disadvantages of permanent eyebrow makeup become clear if we remember that this procedure has a long-term effect:

1. An unsuccessfully executed drawing is difficult and expensive to reduce, especially if it is made with a mineral pigment using a hair drawing technique;
2. This procedure is very painful and requires several days for wound healing (an exception is powder spraying);
3. With regular application of permanent makeup, you can damage the follicles of the eyebrow hairs and disrupt their growth;
4. Hair tattooing should not be tried by girls with oily skin, as subsequently the lines will spread and become ugly;
5. A liner artist (permanent makeup master) can make mistakes that cannot even be blamed on him, such as a not very beautifully executed eyebrow bend or an unsuccessfully chosen shade.

In some cases, permanent makeup should not be applied at all. A complete contraindication is the presence of such serious diseases as:

1. Diabetes;
2. Oncological diseases;
3. Epilepsy;
4. HIV;
5. Serious cardiovascular pathologies.

Partial contraindications (until the moment of recovery) will be such conditions as:

1. Conjunctivitis;
2. Blepharitis;
3. Colds;
4. Scratches and inflammation in the area of ​​tattooing;
5. Period.

Pregnant women very often want to look well-groomed and beautiful in any situation.Therefore, they decide on the procedure for creating permanent makeup. But one must understand that all manipulations with the body during this period can affect the health of the unborn child. A qualified tattoo artist will most likely dissuade a woman in a “position” from undergoing hair tattooing or microblading, offering spraying in powder technique, which is not so painful and does not introduce a significant amount of pigment into the body.

The cost of permanent eyebrow makeup in salons differs depending on the technique used. The price is also affected by the amount of paint, the popularity of the salon, the level of professionalism of the master, the cost of anesthesia.

On average, the prices for the initial tattooing in the hair technique or microblading range from 3 thousand rubles to 7 thousand. Correction costs half as much.

Powder equipment will cost much more - from 7 thousand rubles. up to 15 thousand

Girls who decide on eyebrow tattooing write in reviews about all kinds of "pitfalls" encountered along the way. Most often, they complain about “crooked” masters who can ruin the shape of the eyebrows, choose the wrong color of the pigment (each can interact with a certain type of skin in different ways) or work out the surface unevenly. It is difficult for many to endure pain during the procedure and in the first days of healing. There are complaints that over time, such eyebrows can change color to blue or blue-green and generally look like a tattoo.

Therefore, the advice given in the reviews boils down to one thing: choosing a master is the key to a successful procedure and getting exactly the look of the eyebrows that will please the client.
