Despite its steady rise in popularity in the beauty industry, Microblading or Feathering still faces some persistent myths and misconceptions. From confusing it with traditional tattooing to concerns about pain, it’s not always easy to separate fact from fiction, especially if you’re new to the concept.

For better insight, let’s tackle some of the most common myths about Microblading and reveal the real story. Whether you’re considering Microblading treatment for yourself or aiming to become a Microblading technician, we hope this guide provides the information you need.

Myth 1

Microblading is Just Like Tattooing

FACT: While Microblading and Tattooing use pigments, the similarities largely end there. Microblading employs a handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes on the surface layer of the skin. Tattooing, on the other hand, injects ink deeper into the skin with a pen. The Microblading method allows for a subtler, more natural effect, in contrast to the permanence and boldness of tattooing.

PhiBrows, a particularly ingenious microblading technique example, stands out due to its specialised tools and unique pigments. The exclusive formula ensures the colour doesn’t take on a reddish tone over time – a drawback of traditional tattoos. Additionally, the healing process for Microblading is notably quicker, with mild redness that fades in a few days. Tattoos, in stark contrast, require a longer healing period because of the deeper ink application.

Myth 2

Microblading is Only for Women

FACT: Truth be told, Microblading is a choice, for anyone looking to perfect their eyebrows regardless of gender. Gone are the days when it was exclusive to the ladies. Now more and more men understand the positive effects of having masculine well-shaped brows that complement their facial features. Eyebrows play a role in framing your face and men like the subtle improvements that Microblading can offer. They give off a professional vibe while still looking natural.

At Cosmetic Tattoo Clinic, our Microblading service for men offers a long-lasting remedy for individuals seeking to correct thinning or excessively plucked eyebrows. Semi-permanent Microblading provides lasting results, with minimal maintenance required compared with conventional daily grooming routines. This makes the procedure ideal for men who want to save time and effort in the long term.

Myth 3

Microblading is Painful

FACT: The sensation of Microblading is often likened to eyebrow threading or tweezing. Numbing creams are usually applied beforehand to the eyebrow area making the experience tolerable for most clients. Unlike tattooing, where pain can be more noticeable, Microblading involves minimal irritation. it feels more like a slight scratch. In addition, applying numbing creams to the eyebrow area beforehand reduces any discomfort the client might otherwise feel.

Myth 4

Microblading Results Last Forever

FACT: Although the Cosmetic Tattooing technique has long-term staying power, the results are semi-permanent. This means that, over time, the pigment will naturally fade and require touch-ups to maintain the desired look. Longevity can vary based on skin type, sun exposure, and aftercare; generally, results last between one to three years.

Myth 5

Microblading Looks Unnatural

FACT: When performed by a skilled cosmetic artist, eyebrow feathering delivers remarkably natural results tailored to your facial features. Cosmetic Tattoo Clinic, for instance, uses specific pigments, tools and methods designed to create the most natural-looking brows possible. Combination Brows or Nano Brows, for example, achieve a custom, realistic look that blends seamlessly with your natural hair. The multiple techniques and effects intensify your features rather than overpowering them. If done professionally Microblading is barely noticeable and ultra-natural, even without makeup.

Myth 6

Microblading Takes Too Long to Heal

Fact: The complete recovery process after a Microblading treatment varies but generally takes 6 to 7 weeks. This will be influenced by age, skin type and individual health habits. The visible healing process takes approximately a week with recovery under the skin’s surface taking approximately 28 days. It is best to schedule a touch-up session about 4-6 weeks after your initial microblading session to maintain perfect brows.
