Microblading Vs. Brow Lamination: Understand the Difference
Nowadays, eyebrow grooming treatments are getting more popular than ever! As a result, several new techniques have come into the spotlight. We have pretty much to pick from, whether it’s Microblading or Powder brows. Besides these both techniques, now the newest trend, Brow Lamination, is taking the world by storm.
Microblading and Brow Lamination both these methods help to achieve full & flawless brows, but there’s a difference between these eyebrow shaping procedures. Let’s dive in to understand these differences.
Microblading
For years, Microblading in Sarasota is being opted by several women to enhance their brows. It’s a cosmetic tattooing procedure that fills in thin or sparse eyebrows to make them appear fuller. During the procedure, a brow artist uses a small handheld device composed of 6-14 tiny needles; needles that don’t penetrate the skin but finely implant pigment into the epidermis layer to create hair-like strokes for perfect brow shape. The final results are natural-looking that will last anywhere between one to two years.
What are the Benefits of Opting for Microblading?
1. It helps to achieve natural-looking, fuller, and elongated eyebrows
2. It’s useful to correct over-plucked eyebrows
3. With this hassle-free solution, you can roll out of bed with perfectly shaped brows and reduce the amount of time needed to fill in the brows to make them look ‘presentable’
4. Microblading treatment won’t need any recovery time. Your brand new brows will be in place just after the appointment.
5. After getting your eyebrows microbladed, you don’t have to expend dollars on buying eyebrow fillers, brushes, or other accessories anymore.
This semi-permanent secret to faking fuller brows is almost perfect for everyone, but it is especially beneficial for those who lose their brow hair due to certain medical conditions, like alopecia, trigonometric, etc.
Microblading: Its Aftercare
Microblading involves a bit more aftercare steps than Brow Lamination. Following all the below-mentioned steps is super important to maintain your results for a long.
1. After the treatment, keep the treated area dry; do not apply any makeup and avoid heavy sweating for at least 6-7 days following the procedure.
2. We suggest using a clean tissue or cotton to gently blot the treated areas to keep them clear of any fluid or prevent buildup or scabbing.
3. After 48 hours of treatment, you can start to wash the treated area with water and antibacterial soap. And after wiping your brows, lightly apply the aftercare ointment provided by your esthetician.
4. For better results, you should keep your microbladed brows out of direct sunlight or tanning beds.
5. It is best to avoid using any product(s) that contain acids or exfoliants for a few days following the treatment.
Microblading End Results: Before & After
Brow Lamination
Microblading may be more suitable for those with little to sparse and no brow hair, whereas Brow Lamination works for all brows types, perfect for taming unruly brows to achieve a more dramatic look.
Brow Lamination is a technique of perming brows. The process includes restructuring the brow hair, so they stay brushed up every time. It involves using a solution on the brows and pressing and straightening the hair so they stick in an upward direction for an extended period of time.
The procedure takes less than an hour, and the result will stay for almost six to eight weeks. This treatment raises the arch, giving eyes an instant lift. Unlike Microblading, no needles and coloring are involved.
What are the Benefits of Opting for Brow Lamination?
Brow Lamination is an ideal option for those who want to achieve more defined and sculpted brows. This treatment literally enhances brow fullness.
1. The end outcomes are realistic and very natural
2. It helps to get brows that look thicker
3. It’s a non-invasive procedure
4. The results will last for 6-8 weeks
Brow Lamination: Its Aftercare
For the first 24 hours following your appointment-
1. Do not wet or scrub the treated area
2. Avoid hard workouts & applying any cream or oils around the eyebrow area
3. Do not take a sauna or steamy shower
After 24 hours following the appointment, you can apply castor oil or hydrating balm to nourish your brows. We recommend using a mascara wand to set the brow hair into place daily after taking a shower.

Final Thoughts
Microblading & Brow Lamination both are completely different brow grooming techniques. Microblading is one of the most requested salon services for years, whereas Brow Lamination is relatively new to the market.
Brow lamination is a good option to refresh the appearance of your brows (making them look fuller) in a short amount of time. But, this procedure requires consistent maintenance as the effects do not last for very long (usually 6-8 weeks). Microblading is definitely an amazing treatment that offers long-lasting end results. Each process has its own benefits; it’s your choice which treatment you want to opt.
