Will Microblading Fade?

Will the pigment used in microblading fade over time?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that involves creating fine, hair-like strokes in the eyebrows using a tiny blade. The results of microblading can last for one to three years, but the pigment will eventually fade over time.

There are a number of factors that can affect how quickly microblading fades, including:

  • Skin type: People with oily skin tend to see their microblading fade more quickly than people with dry skin.
  • Lifestyle: If you are exposed to a lot of sun or if you exfoliate your skin regularly, your microblading may fade more quickly.
  • The quality of the pigment: The quality of the pigment used in microblading can also affect how long it lasts.

In general, microblading will fade completely within 2 years without any touch-ups. However, some people may see their microblading fade after only 1 year, while others may see it last for up to 3 years.

If you want your microblading to last longer, you can get regular touch-ups every 12-18 months. This will help to keep the color fresh and vibrant.

Here are some tips to help your microblading last longer:

  • Avoid sun exposure: The sun can break down the pigment in microblading, so it is important to protect your eyebrows from the sun. Wear sunscreen on your eyebrows every day, even on cloudy days.
  • Avoid exfoliating your eyebrows: Exfoliating your eyebrows can also remove the pigment, so it is best to avoid exfoliating this area.
  • Use a gentle cleanser: When washing your face, use a gentle cleanser that will not strip your skin of its natural oils. Harsh cleansers can also remove the pigment in microblading.
  • Be patient: Microblading takes time to heal and fade. Don’t worry if your eyebrows look a little different right after the procedure. They will continue to heal and look more natural over time.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about microblading:

  • Microblading is a permanent makeup procedure, but it is not permanent in the sense that the pigment will last forever.
  • Microblading is a safe procedure, but there are some risks associated with it, such as infection and scarring.
  • It is important to choose a qualified and experienced microblading artist.

If you are considering microblading, be sure to do your research and talk to your doctor or a qualified microblading artist to learn more about the procedure and the risks involved.
