Everybody wants to look great and that is why there are very many cosmetic products and procedures being invented every day. One of the cosmetic procedures that people, especially women go for is microblading. Microblading refers to a cosmetic tattooing process that is done to fill thin eyebrow areas to make them loo fuller. Although this process has been around for quite some time, its popularity has been very low until in recent years. Here are facts regarding Microblading Classes.

The difference between this process and tattooing is that tattoos produce permanent marks that may be impossible to remove or fade away. On the other hand, coloring produced by micro-blading is not very permanent and tends to wear off after three years or so. The wearing off is made possible by the fact that different tools from those tattooists use are used in the process. The amount of pigment used is also significantly lower.

A microblade tool is usually used to perform this process. This tool is used in the application of pigments into the area of the eyebrow to make the area look as if it has natural hair. However, the pigment is likely to fade away as soon as the process has been performed. However, the area lightens up over time.

Certain risks are associated with this process just like many other cosmetic processes. The greatest risk comes about from the fact that the FDA does not regulate the additives that are in the pigments applied in this procedure. This means that is it possible for the additives to be harmful. Understanding possible risks and conducting research before going for the procedure is important

Before undergoing the process, it is important to consider the salon in which it will be done. One must ensure that the salon is well equipped and furnished. The esthetician who will be performing the process must also be properly licensed and trained. The American Association of Micropigmentation and Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals are the two bodies in the US that govern this field in the country.

One needs to ensure the procedure is done by an esthetician accredited by one of the two bodies or by both bodies. Being accredited by these bodies means one is well trained and qualified to perform the procedure. One can also use the help of these bodies to find a skilled esthetician. All information needed on qualified estheticians one can work with can easily be provided by the bodies when one calls them.

Since the process involves pigments being impregnated into the body, there is a likelihood of some people experiencing allergic reactions. The body may detect the pigments as foreign bodies and react to them, causing severe effects. Even though allergies are rare, they may happen so it is important to ask the esthetician about the composition of the pigments used. The salon must also have a way of confirming allergies.

Before going for the process, it is important to prepare for it first. Part of preparation may include avoiding alcohol and caffeine beverages a day before the procedure. Other activities to avoid a day or days before the procedure include waxing, chemical peels, tanning, and trimming brows among others.
