Your brows frame your eyes, and when they thin out with age, over-plucking or genetics, your whole face can look different. Microblading in Fort Worth is a semi-permanent technique that adds fine, hair-like strokes to fill gaps and shape the brow. For many people, it means fewer mornings spent drawing brows in.
At Advanced Eyelid Surgery Center in Colleyville, we offer microblading as part of our focus on the eye area. Here is what the process looks like.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading uses a handheld tool with tiny needles to place pigment just under the surface of the skin. Each stroke mimics a natural brow hair. Unlike traditional tattooing, the pigment sits more superficially, so it fades gradually over time.
The goal is a brow that looks like yours, just fuller and more even.
How Microblading in Fort Worth Works, Step by Step
- Consultation. We talk about your brow goals, skin type and any health history that may affect healing.
- Mapping. Your brow shape is measured and drawn on so you can approve the design before anything is permanent.
- Numbing. A topical numbing cream helps keep you comfortable.
- Strokes and pigment. Fine strokes are created and pigment is applied in a shade matched to your hair and skin.
- Touch-up. A follow-up visit several weeks later lets us refine the shape and fill any areas that healed lighter.
Healing and Aftercare
Brows often look darker and sharper right after treatment, then soften as they heal. During the first week or two you may notice mild flaking. Common aftercare tips include:
- Keep brows dry and avoid heavy sweating for the first several days
- Skip makeup on the brow area while it heals
- Do not pick or scratch flaking skin
- Protect brows from direct sun
Results vary with skin type, lifestyle and sun exposure. Oily skin, for example, may hold pigment differently.
How Long Does Microblading Last?
Microblading is semi-permanent. Many people return for a color refresh every year or so, though timing varies from person to person.
Is Microblading Right for You?
Microblading may be a good fit if you have sparse or uneven brows and want a natural look. It may not be recommended during pregnancy, with certain skin conditions, or if you are prone to keloids.
If your brows sit low or feel heavy over the eyes, a pencil or pigment alone will not lift them. In those cases a brow lift or Botox may be worth discussing. Check our current specials too.
