What is Microblading for Brows?

THE MICROBLADING TECHNIQUE IS PERFORMED WITHOUT USING A MACHINE.

During this unique technique pigment is applied with a small handheld tool that has a fixed disposable blade comprised of tiny micro needles three times thinner than those used in traditional machines. Unlike traditional tattooing, which can result in harsh lines and color distortion over time, the depth of the pigment injected using the manual method does not ever reach the dermis. Thus, the effect of extremely fine and natural looking hair is achieved. 


 

THIS UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS FOR ACHIEVING UNDETECTABLE, LONG-LASTING RESULTS. 

HOW TO SELECT A SUITABLE TECHNIQUE:

The 1st  Slide & Tap MANUAL technique is applied without using a machine. This technique provides an ideal eyebrow shape through gentle shading, i.e. by applying a very thick natural pigment into the skin. The effect is similar to highlighting using shadows, but the huge difference is that the effect remains from 3-7 months (only tap) to 1-2 years (slide&tap). The result is extremely natural and undetectable – it does not look like a tattoo. Eyebrow shape, colour and intensity are selected according to the facial features and preferences of the customer. This technique is most suitable for customers that need a slight eyebrow correction (to conceal scars and gaps), when there is a sufficient amount of natural hair.

 

The 2nd  6D MANUAL technique is applied without using a machine. This technique provides an ideal eyebrow shape by drawing hairs that are identical to natural ones, i.e. by applying a very thick natural pigment into the skin. The effect lasts for up to 2 years. The result is extremely natural and undetectable – it does not look like a tattoo. Eyebrow shape, colour and intensity are selected according to the facial features and preferences of the customer. This technique is most suitable for customers that want to have fuller eyebrows, when there is a small amount of natural hair or there are significant gaps or scars.

 

The 3rd “HD LINE®” MICROBLADING TECHNIQUE, advanced MANUAL eyebrow reconstruction technique is applied without using a machine and produces a very natural looking result. The effect of drawn hairs that are identical to natural ones is achieved by using pigments in several shades and a special multi-needle technology. The result lasts for up to 2 years. And the effect is strikingly similar to the hair of natural eyebrows. Eyebrow shape, colour and intensity are selected according to the facial features and preferences of the customer. This technique is most suitable for customers that want perfect results. It is also used to fully restore the eyebrow shape, when there are almost no natural eyebrow hairs left or they are extremely thin. 



MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THE MANUAL TECHNIQUE:


• The procedure is less painful and is done faster than with a machine. The main reason why clients feel less pain is because with manual tool we only draw once. To achieve the result with the machine we draw several times on same place.


• A very natural result is achieved.


• It does not look like a usual tattoo as hairs are “drawn” in natural direction


• A machine is not used for this procedure


• The extremely thin disposable needles are 3 times thinner than the thinnest needles used in machines. That is why the “drawn” hairs are identical to natural ones


• Thicker pigment is used that does not change colour but slowly fades instead 


EACH TECHNIQUE IS SELECTED FOR THE CUSTOMER INDIVIDUALLY. TECHNIQUE SELECTION DEPENDS PRIMARILY ON THE CONDITION OF NATURAL EYEBROWS, THEIR THICKNESS AND AMOUNT OF HAIR.


“HD LINE®” MICROBLADING TECHNIQUE IS RECOMMENDED FOR PICKY CUSTOMERS WHO VALUE PERFECTION AND FLAWLESS RESULTS.


THE MANUAL TECHNIQUE IS DISTINGUISHED BY ITS GENTLE AND PAINLESS PROCEDURE WHILE THE RESULT LASTS FOR UP TO 2 YEARS. THICKER ORGANIC PIGMENTS ARE USED THAT ARE CERTIFIED AND SAFE. THEY DO NOT CHANGE THEIR COLOR OVER TIME BUT SLOWLY FADE INSTEAD.

Benefits of Chinese Cupping


Cupping is much like the inverse of massage - rather than applying pressure to muscles, the suction uses gentle pressure to pull the skin, tissue and muscles upward. For most patients, this creates a particularly relaxing and relieving sensation and is what makes cupping one of the best deep-tissue therapies available. It is thought to affect tissues up to four inches deep from the external skin. This helps to dispel stagnation — stagnant blood and lymph, thereby improving circulation, blockages can be cleared, and veins and arteries can be refreshed within these four inches of affected materials.

Generally, cupping is combined with acupressure in one treatment, but it can also be used alone. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). 

Cupping is most commonly used to relieve:
• back and neck pain
• stiff muscles
• anxiety
• fatigue
• migraines
• rheumatism
• cellulite. (For weight loss and cellulite treatments, oil is first applied to the skin, and then the cups are moved up and down the surrounding area.)

Cupping causes the skin to temporarily turn red, blue or purple, especially if there is an injury or energetic blockage under the area that was cupped. The skin discoloration can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, but is rarely painful. Once the marks have cleared, the procedure can be repeated until the condition or ailment is resolved.

You ought to consider exploring the benefits of cupping if you seek relief from stress, pain, allergies, fatigue/sleeplessness, flu, colds, back pain, anxiety, muscle aches, headaches or migraines.

Eyelash Extensions- FAQ #2



Will extensions damage my natural lashes? 

Properly applied lash extensions that are glued ONE by ONE to your natural lashes will NOT damage your natural lashes. This is where you will find that not all lash technicians are created equal. A great deal of care must be taken in ensuring that each natural lash is perfectly isolated prior to applying any extensions. Properly applied extensions will stay on for the duration of the Natural lash's life cycle (60-90 days). As the naturally shed, they will not pull out the adjacent lashes. As one lash sheds, a new one has grown in its place.

Eyelash Extensions FAQ #1

Why are some Eyelash Extensions more expensive than others?

Everyone wants a discount and yes, you can get a full set of eyelash extensions done for $100 or $150. But would you really want to? At this price, technicians have to speed through the procedure to maximize their time. This leads to poor quality work or shortcuts leading to 3-4 lashes being clumped together which can lead to damaging the natural lashes. Having extensions applied by a seasoned, professionally trained technician helps to ensure the long-term safety of your eyelashes. And you know what they say- "Good work ain't cheap. Cheap work ain't great."
