Powderbrows are very popular at the moment and give a beautiful make-up look to your eyebrows. Microblading, on the other hand, is more natural. With microblading you make hairstrokes with the blade and after healing you have created a natural look. Microblading generally fades faster than powder brows. Another big difference is that powderbrows can be used on any skin, microblading cannot.
It is quite understandable that some ladies, especially the older ones, don't want to go for powder brows but prefer a microblading treatment. You can do this right away but assessing the skin is very essential. If the skin is not suitable for microblading, the result will be disappointing and fade faster. If you have assessed the skin and informed the customer about this, the choice is conscious and you cannot be held accountable for your work.
How do you assess the skin's suitability for microblading? Skin texture and age are important. People with dry skin and few pores are generally suitable for microblading. It becomes a different story with oily skin.
If you see shiny oily skin, it is smart to take a good look at the skin. I assess the skin by looking at the pores in the eyebrow with a magnifying glass. Sweep the hair to the side with an eyelash brush and view the pore structure through the magnifying glass. Everyone has pores, of course, but are they very many and are they large? Then microblading will not work as they want.
With large and many pores in the skin, it will be more difficult to insert the pigment because a lot of sebum and fat comes out of the pore structure. As a result, little pigment can be absorbed into the skin and the microblading will not catch well.
You can also see whether it will be successful during a treatment. See how many 'passes' you want to do, after the first pass see if it absorbs well. With sensitive or mature skin I often use other needle modules, then I pick a finer needle. I will tell more about this in another blog.
Assess the skin during the intake and go through the options and possibilities with the customer so that they also understand why you recommend microblading or not. In my salon, oily skins automatically fall under a powderbrows treatment.
An alternative for customers who still want strokes is the 3D brows treatment. The pore structure of the eyebrow on the nose side is often low in everyone. With 3D brows you put a number of strokes at the beginning of the eyebrow for the natural look and you finish the rest of the eyebrow with the powder technique.
Many customers come to us with old microblading. They want to have the eyebrows updated with microblading while the skin is not suitable for it. Unfortunately, mistakes are made within the industry and to correct this, the old pmu often has to be lasered away. After giving the skin a rest for 2 to 3 months, I put on new powderbrows. Although microblading fades quickly, a color will always remain. Before we treat the eyebrows again, that must first be lasered off so that I can start on beautiful new brows on a clean "canvas".
The customer is not always aware of the consequences of choosing microblading. It is up to you as a specialist to assess this. Also dare to say no to customers, you want them to be satisfied and happy to come back to you, right?
