All you want to know about Male Eyebrows Microblading

We have to accept that the pressure from the media, magazines, and perfectly preened celebrities isn’t just aimed at women; men are also in the spotlight too.

Men also can need to refill their eyebrows due different reasons: could be natural hair loss, a scar o just because they want to show very hairy eyebrows.

“In Avant Garde Salon and Spa we receive a lot of men asking for the micro blading treatment” explained Yadira Gonzalez and specialist in this treatment.

“More and more men are using Microblading or Semi Permanent Makeup – not only to correct medically related problems but also as a surgery-free alternative to an improved appearance” added Gonzalez.

So how does it work?

Firstly, through thorough consultation, I discuss with the client what is he expecting, then I will explain him the procedure steps and healing stages.  Once that’s complete I will follow to perform a colour match and together with the client will design the best shape for the eyebrows.

The treatment itself takes between 30-45 minutes but the consultation, colour match, shape design, treatment and aftercare will altogether and will take approximately 2 hours. Be aware that only pharmaceutical-grade pigments are used for the treatments (not to be confused with tattoo inks!).

There is no actual downtime after the treatment and you can return to your daily routine right after. Yadira advises to do thorough research on the therapist you are going to employ to do the treatment.

What you should know about the therapist is going to do the treatment? What are their qualifications?

“I recommend checking the FAQ section on the therapist’s website, where detailed information about the procedure should be explained. It’s not a facial or massage, so make sure you do your research properly to avoid complications and possible costly removal” said Yadira.

In terms of follow-up, how long does it last the treatment and when you should get a retouch?

Once the full treatment is performed (original treatment and the retouch treatment between 4 weeks to 3 months later) the effect should last between 9-24 months but Gonzalez recommends a yearly maintenance top-up.

It is a very subtle procedure and it gives definition without looking too strong, obvious or feminine. This is a treatment that only experienced and fully qualified artists should perform, therefore Yadira strongly recommends doing the research before choosing a therapist.
