The only difference is the tool used to perform the procedure

• Microblading: (Also a type of Micropigmentation) hand tool is like a pen with a very fine “micro-blade” that creates the hairstrokes.

• Micropigmentation: Electric device where a needle is used to perform the technique.

[ Carolina works with both tools, and together with the client we will decide which technique will best suit you, considering important points for the best desirable result in each individual case ]

There are two main differences :

1) THE LAYER OF THE SKIN WHERE THE PIGMENT WILL BE IMPLANTED ;

MICROPIGMENTATION: Is performed in the papillary dermis, which is a superficial layer of the dermis, because this layer is superficial, the pigment is more easily degraded and cleared by the body itself, this is why you need to refresh, redefine and color boost the procedure periodically.

TATTOO: The pigment is implanted in the reticular dermis, a lower layer of the dermis with the purpose of having an eternal durability on the skin.

PS: Just keep in mind that in SEMI PERMANENT MAKEUP ,NATURALITY DOES NOT COMBINE WITH DURABILITY ♥️

2) THE PIGMENTS: The micropigmentation pigments (ink) has the colorimetry application that is totally different from conventional tattoo ink, aiming for more suitable, faithful and natural color tones, imitating a more natural eyebrow color.

I do not offer consultations, when you make your appointment a form will be sent to you where I can be integrated about everything I would need to know about your concerns and your health history, plus the appointment is booked with enough time for us to have a chat where I will give a full explanation about the whole procedure.

The goal is to keep as much of your natural hairs as possible to make it blend with the new technique chosen.
Only the unnecessary hairs will be plucked/shaved or trimmed.

• Firstly the touch-up is not done to correct mistakes and redo the entire job, this is done for a complementary treatment and is completely normal and expected in Semi Permanent makeup.
• The follow up appointment also increases the longevity of your Semi Permanent makeup.
• However, in some cases clients are happy with the results from the first session as they had great color retention and only came again for annual maintenance.

Two topical anaesthetic creams are applied, which will allow me to perform the procedure with great ease for the client,
you might feel minor discomfort if any at all.

Initial session: +- 2.5 Hrs
Touch-up between 40 to 90 days: 30-60 min

• The first few days it is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL the eyebrows appear darker because the skin will be in the process of regeneration and in a few days the color will start to lighten up. 

Semi permanent makeup is designed to fade over time, but once we introduce ink into the skin, there is no guarantee how long it will last or take to completely fade or vanish, but there is an average which is from +- 8 months to 3 years which can vary per client( skin conditions, life styles, organism etc) and how many sessions you have had.

I as a professional artist have the responsibility and care with my all clients, your eyebrows/lips with the Micropigmentation done by me will be my signature, and my signature will always be as natural and beautiful as possible. ?

It’s highly predictable that if we turn away from your own natural characteristics the final results can be terrible, as we often see women that have unsightly procedures, incorrect shapes and color made by inexperienced artists that only want your money.
I will always respect your opinion and preferences and I’m here to help you make the best choice for your face and leave you feeling as confident and happy as possible.
I ask my clients to trust in my professional advice from many years of experience and expertise, and together we will decide the best technique for you.

I reserve the right to not carry on with the procedure if I know that it will not look nice in the future:
• Change the structure of the design much, like thickening/arching/extending or raise the tail too much to try give the lift effect, I just improve some strategic points to enhance the shape for your face.
• Using a much darker color than the client’s natural eyebrow color.

Remembering that:
Micropigmentation does not replace makeup.
If you are looking for an extremely defined shape, very bold and much darker than your natural eyebrows color, I am definitely not the right artist for you, I pride my self on my work being natural, soft and elegant.

Micropigmentation does not replace aesthetic procedures such as filling, botox and plastic surgery, each procedure has its own correct purpose and the wrong attempt to try to get the result from one another can be totally unsightly and disastrous.
It’s very important to understand real expectations between the desired results.

– Together we will decide which technique will be done depending on what you are looking for and what your eyebrows allow me to do to achieve the desired result

– I only start after your final consent
PROCEDURE;

It’s vital to know the inherent and adverse factors, for satisfactory results it is essential to strictly follow the home care guided by the professional.
50% is the responsibility of the professional in the execution of the procedure and the other 50% is the client’s commitment to aftercare.
