What is the Combined Microblading and Micropigmentation Technique?
Understanding Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent technique that uses a manual hand tool to create fine, hair-like strokes on the brow. It mimics natural brow hairs for a realistic effect.
Understanding Micropigmentation
Micropigmentation, often referred to as cosmetic tattooing, involves the use of a machine to implant pigment deeper into the skin. It offers more density, ideal for shading and enhancing the overall fullness.
How They Work Together
By combining microblading and micropigmentation:
•Microblading defines individual hair strokes.
•Micropigmentation adds shading for depth and fullness.
•The result is natural-looking, well-shaped, fuller eyebrows that last longer.

Benefits of Combining Microblading and Micropigmentation
Natural & Defined Look
•Microblading provides hair-like strokes for a realistic appearance.

Longer-Lasting Results
This technique lasts longer than microblading alone, typically:
•18 to 24 months of stunning brows.
•Less frequent touch-ups required.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Unlike standalone microblading (which may fade faster on oily skin), combining with micropigmentation ensures:
•Better pigment retention.
•Consistent results across skin types.
