FAQ FOR PERMANENT MAKEUP
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK A MICROBLADING SERVICE
Before you schedule an appointment with a St Cloud MN Microblading Service, you should ask about the procedure’s costs and possible risks. Ask about the type of numbing creams used, pigments used, and insurance coverage.
NUMBING CREAMS
While the FDA recommends using 5% lidocaine, some people still find the experience uncomfortable. While most microblading artists use a stronger numbing cream, some clients opt-out. These people should conduct a patch test before their appointment to ensure they will not react to the numbing cream. Besides, many people have different pain thresholds, and menstruation can affect how sensitive they are.
PIGMENTS USED
If you’re considering a St. Cloud, MN microblading service, you may wonder how to choose the correct pigments. Pigments used during this semi-permanent procedure are usually made from high-quality pigments. Pigments used during microblading are formulated for the skin’s resiliency. Unlike traditional tattoos, microblading deposits pigments into the basal layer of the epidermis. This pigment then migrates to the skin’s surface and inevitably fades due to the dividing cells.
After a microblading procedure, the pigments should last anywhere from one to three years. However, this can vary depending on the skin type. Oily skin tends to fade pigments more quickly, so clients should plan for touch-ups every year. Microblading is best performed during a non-sun-exposed period, as exposure to natural sunlight can affect the results.
COMBINATION BROWS
For the perfect brows, look for a microblading artist specializing in powder and combination brows. The microblading process places hair strokes on the face using a manual tool. After the strokes are placed, shading is used to add density and fill in gaps. This treatment takes two to four sessions and requires approximately eight weeks of healing time between sessions. The cost of combination brows is $150 per session.
The St Cloud MN Microblading Service provides both ombre and pigmented brows. Ombre Brows are the perfect solution for both combination and dry skin. Ombre brows are machine brows created with tiny specks of pigment. They can last up to two years and look just like makeup. You’ll look and feel like a Hollywood star!
