Microblading Eyebrow Enhancment – Review
In this video, Alice Hart-Davis shares her experience with microblading, a semi-permanent makeup technique for eyebrows.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process and her thoughts:
Introduction to Microblading
Purpose: Microblading is ideal for those who have lost their brows due to cancer treatment, alopecia, or natural thinning over time.
Expectation: Alice wasn’t initially considering microblading but decided to try it after being invited by Shaun Dellar at her Harley Street clinic.
The Procedure
Preparation
Measuring and Penciling: Shaun uses a measuring tape and pencils in the desired brow shape. Alice opted for a natural yet emphatic look.
Anesthetic Cream: Applied for 20 minutes to numb the area, as microblading involves tiny incisions.
Microblading Process
Incisions: Shaun uses a tiny scalpel dipped in pigment to make hair-like incisions along the brow.
Pigment Application: The pigment is applied to fill in and shape the brows.
Post-Procedure
Initial Appearance: Brows appear very dark initially and will darken further the next day.
Aftercare: Keeping brows dry for a week is crucial to prevent pigment loss. This means no showers or sweaty activities like hot yoga.
Results and Follow-Up
Immediate Results: The brows look darker initially but lighten over time.
Follow-Up Session: A month later, Alice returned for a touch-up to confirm and strengthen the pigment.
Longevity: The results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on skin type and aftercare.
Cost and Personal Reflection
Cost: The procedure costs £495.
Value: Alice considers this a reasonable price for a noticeable and lasting cosmetic change.
Benefits: Saves time in the morning as there’s no need to apply brow makeup. Alice is pleased with the results, which have lasted well over six months.
