What Is Microblading: Definition and Characteristics
Microblading is a semi-permanent eyebrow makeup technique that uses a hand tool with micro-needles to deposit pigment into the upper layer of the dermis, creating individual strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs. It’s considered the most advanced and natural eyebrow micropigmentation technique currently available.
How Long Does Microblading Last? The Definitive Answer
Microblading lasts 12–24 months on average, but this varies based on several factors:
- Skin type — Oily skin metabolizes pigment faster (8–12 months); dry skin retains color longer (18–24 months)
- Sun exposure — Sun accelerates pigment fading. Using SPF protects the color
- Aftercare — Proper care in the first few weeks extends how long the result lasts
- Pigment quality — Professional-grade pigments last longer than lower-quality ones
How Does the Microblading Procedure Work?
The microblading procedure happens in three main stages:
- First session — Design, numbing with TKTX Gold 75%, and pigment deposit (2–3 hours)
- Healing — 4–8 weeks during which the color settles and scabs naturally fall off
- Touch-up — A touch-up session at 4–8 weeks to complete and perfect the result
Does Microblading Hurt? The Role of TKTX Cream
The eyebrow area has moderate pain sensitivity. However, applying TKTX Gold 75% numbing cream 45–60 minutes before the procedure reduces pain by 85–90%. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratch, rather than the sharp pain felt without numbing.
