For most women, our brows play a significant role in who we are. Because of this, we spend a lot of time (and money) filling them in, waxing, threading, and plucking them. For men, the need for eyebrow embroidery goes beyond aesthetic reasons. It is believed that your eyebrows can affect your success and fortune in life.
Having stated that, we are not against something more permanent. The only problem is that trends in eyebrows (and personal preference) change frequently. In the 90s, the trend was to have super skinny brows and in recent years, thicker brows have made a comeback. Because of this, getting a permanent tattoo is not the best choice – especially for people who don’t want lifelong commitment.
This is the reason why eyebrow embroidery, otherwise known as microblading, has fast become a popular cosmetic procedure among people who want flawlessly shaped (and filled-in) eyebrows with little to no effort. This arch-perfecting procedure has won the praise of beauty experts and enthusiasts, despite being on the pricier side of the scale.
Wondering if eyebrow embroidery is the best procedure for you? Before having your eyebrows embroidered, here is all you should know:

1. Eyebrow embroidery can create different effects
With the help of tiny, disposable needles, the brow artist embroiders colour pigment beneath the skin’s surface to create natural-looking eyebrows. By doing so, you may make your brows appear thicker and give them the ideal shape for your face.
In eyebrow embroidery, the shading technique used produces a misty or powdery impression, while the microblading technique produces hair-like strokes that imitate your natural brow hairs. These two basic types of eyebrow embroidery techniques can be used to produce a variety of styles according to your preference.
2. Eyebrow embroidery and eyebrow tattooing aren’t the same
Eyebrow embroidery and eyebrow tattooing are not the same, although both methods involve infusing colour into the skin. It is not thought of as a permanent colouring technique like a tattoo because the pigments in needlework dissipate over time. Because eyebrow embroidery uses hand-drawn techniques to simulate the appearance of real brow hairs, it is more realistic-looking and thicker than traditional eyebrow tattoos.
Additionally, several types of ink are used for eyebrow tattoos and eyebrow embroidery. While eyebrow embroidery maintains its original colour, traditional eyebrow tattoos might fade over time and turn blue or green.
3. Eyebrow embroidery is gentle and safe
The entire eyebrow embroidery process will take about two hours to complete. We will first shape and trim your eyebrows to the desired look. After that, a numbing cream will be applied to your skin for 15 to 20 minutes to minimise any discomfort. Then, using single-use needles, the pigments will be injected beneath your skin.
You can request that more numbing gel be applied at intervals during the procedure to keep it comfortable. As eyebrow embroidery is a delicate procedure, it’s crucial to have your eyebrow embroidery done by a trained and qualified brow artist to reduce the chance of bacterial infection.
4. You can skip your eyebrow pencil for 12 to 18 months
Usually, the colour from eyebrow embroidery lasts between 12 and 18 months. As the colour will gradually fade, you can touch up your embroidered brows once a year to maintain them. Eliminate the eyebrow pencil from your daily cosmetic process to save time.

Conclusion
Following an eyebrow embroidery procedure, it is normal for your eyebrows to appear a little darker than you’d like. Sometimes your eyebrows will itch and appear red and swollen for a couple of days, these too are no causes for worry.
Your brows will begin to scab on day 3 and should stop scabbing by day 10. Depending on your skin type (dry, normal or oily), the colour will fade by between 40 and 60 per cent. To fill in any gaps in your brows, you can always schedule a touch-up appointment with us.
