Thinking of taking a microblading treatment!
What are the questions that pop up in your mind?
Is my skin healthy or ready for the treatment?
Is microblading bad for the skin?
Does skin type play an important role in the microblading healing process?
Etc……………………………..
There must be numerous questions in your mind relating to your “skin type” and the effects of microblading on it. Let us take a brief look and see what impact different skin types have on microblading treatment.
Before scheduling a microblading appointment, there are several factors to be considered, and one of the most important ones is your “skin type”. It plays a significant role in how much your eyebrows will take time to heal and how much it will start fading. Here with skin type, we refer to how oily, dry, or sensitive is your eyebrow area skin. There are five common skin types:
Every skin type is different and reacts in a certain unique way to everything new, even the change in seasons. Hence it will react to the microblading in different ways; here is the detailed description for every skin type:
Dry Skin
If you have dry skin, then the pores of your skin are nearly invisible, and your skin constantly feels tight throughout the day. You may notice some flakings from time to time. Dry skin heals fast and clean. Including microblading, any permanent makeup done on dry skin heals completely with precision. There is also a plus point of dry skin that it holds the color for the longest time, usually 1.5+ years. This is because more occasional oils are coming through the skin, so the pigment is not diluted or does not fade as quickly.
Oily Skin
Can I get microblading if I have oily skin? This is the most asked question to us. Oily skin tends to be more hydrated and supple by nature. It has a remarkable capacity to age gracefully. However, too much oil can cause pores to clog faster. Large pores are also typical in those with oily skin. Compared to dry or oily skin, microblading hair strokes will heal powdery. Oily skin needs a touch-up before one year as the color will also eventually start to fade out.
Normal Skin
You may have normal skin if you don’t have breakouts and your t-zone stays hydrated. Your t-zone extends horizontally over your brows and vertically down the center of your face. Normal skin types heal pretty evenly, and the color lasts an average amount of time. You can anticipate going 1 to 1.5 years before you need to touch up.
Combination Skin
If you are not sure if your skin type is a combination type or not? The best way to know this is by observing your t-zone. The t-zone area will be hydrated; however, you can feel some flaking around your cheeks, as the area can be dry. Hence, combination skin is a combination of two types of skin, oily and normal, and it also heals accordingly. The t-zone area is generally oilier than the rest of the face, and other areas of the skin will recover normally.
Sensitive Skin
People with sensitive skin know they have one. But if you don’t know, your skin type may not be sensitive. This type of skin heals quite differently. Clients may experience pinkness for several days, weeks, or longer than it would be for other types. Slight swelling is also noticed after the treatment in sensitive skin, which is not particular in any other type.
