What Is The Difference Between Microblading And Micropigmentation?

Women all around the world are continuously striving for getting perfect and flawless brow status. The ancient tattoo formation has been going for many years. But the standards of beauty are ever-evolving with each passing day. For cosmetological applications, the principle has been borrowed for adding pigment to the skin. Instead of having a permanent tattoo done on your brows, there evolve some useful semi-permanent techniques such as Microblading and Micropigmentation.

 Microblading and Micropigmentation are referred to as useful treatments of an eyebrow-enhancement. These techniques involve a makeup treatment that is semi-permanent and permanent respectively and lasts for a significant time period because colored pigments are settled deep down below skin dermal layers. Apart from makeup treatments, some visual abnormalities on various parts are also treated by the effective technique of medical Micropigmentation. This medical procedure is a brilliant solution to improve and camouflage visual abnormalities in several parts of our body. 

Benefits of Microblading and Micropigmentation

These useful techniques provide several benefits:

• Save time

• Smudge-free

• Boost confidence

• Long-lasting results

• Enhance facial features

• Regain natural eyebrow look

• Provide wide options to match color pigments with your skin and hair

Difference between Microblading and Micropigmentation

Despite few differences, after healing both these procedures look a little alike. They help to enhance the appearance of brows. A complete guide to each procedure is discussed in detail below:

Microblading:

• Microblading is a semi-permanent makeover treatment. 

• The Microblading technique is only used to improve eyebrows' shape and thickness.

• Microblading is done with the help of a hand tool made of micro-pins that are dragged through the skin dermal layer. This dragging leaves small scratches that have a similar look to hair. The finally colored pigment is soaked into tiny scratches to take a look. 

• There is no need for any battery or electricity while performing Microblading.

• Results of Microblading can last from 6-12 months or even longer depend on skin type. On dry and thin skin, the results can even last up to 3 years.

Micropigmentation:

• Micropigmentation is also referred to as “permanent makeup”. As the name defines it is a more permanent procedure than Microblading. Although it does not wash off but is not permanent, it lasts forever.

• Micropigmentation is carried out with the help of a Rotary Tool, a scaled-down tattoo tool. This machine does not go deep down the skin dermal layers rather it implants deep dots of pigments in the middle of the dermal layer of skin.

• Micropigmentation can be used on several parts of a body such as eyes, lips, brows, cheeks, and eye shadows.

• Micropigmentation, sometimes also called a “Cosmetic tattoo”, but the former looks softer than a casual tattoo.

• With the advent of technology, para-medical Micropigmentation procedures are also evolved which treat scar revision, areola pigmentation as well as camouflage visual abnormalities on the body especially the face.

• The Micropigmentation procedure can last for about 3 years or even longer depend upon a person’s skin texture and type.
