What is Eyebrow Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique carried out to enhance eyebrows. This procedure uses a small handheld tool that deposits pigment into the skin. While doing so, this tool also creates tiny, hair-like strokes in the eyebrow area that give the brow a fuller appearance. Unlike permanent tattooing, eyebrow microblading is preferred mainly because the ink fades away with time, leaving individuals with the option to reconsider their look in the future.
Who Needs Eyebrow Microblading?
Microblading creates a naturally hairy appearance in the eyebrow area. For this reason, this procedure is suitable for someone who has lost hair in the eyebrows. People with the following conditions can be considered ideal candidates for eyebrow microblading:
- Eyebrows that are over-plucked
- Asymmetrical eyebrows
- People suffering from alopecia
- Patients who have thin eyebrows because of undergoing chemotherapy
Who should not get eyebrow microblading?
- People who are sensitive to anesthetics or pigment
- Individuals with auto-immune disorders
- People affected by skin conditions near eyebrows, such as shingles, rashes, and eczema
- Pregnant or nursing women
What are the Benefits of Eyebrow Microblading?
Eyebrow microblading comes with numerous benefits, as mentioned below:
- It is a precise and customized solution for individuals with thin eyebrows.
- Unlike permanent tattoos, microblading results are not permanent, leaving you with several options in the future.
- The results last longer than cosmetic makeup techniques.
- It is a less painful technique than traditional tattooing.
Types of Microblading
There are several ways through which you can change the appearance of your eyebrows.
The final results of each technique have slight variations as the aesthetician is the best person to decide which technique is better for your skin tone. Here is a brief overview of the different types of eyebrow microblading.
Microblading: During eyebrow microblading, the makeup artist draws hair-like strokes using a fine needle to inject ink into the target area.
Nanoblading: Nanoblading for eyebrows is a semi-permanent cosmetic technique that uses bladed fine needles to fill thin eyebrows. The purpose of this technique is to make sparse eyebrows appear thicker. During the procedure, the cosmetic makeup artist, with the help of a fine needle, uses pigmented ink and injects it underneath the skin in the eyebrow area to create hair-like tattoo strokes.
Microshading: Microshading is a bit different than microblading. In this, the aesthetician uses a handheld tool, filled with pigmented ink, to place pin-like dots over the brow area. As a result, the eyebrows become fuller and more aesthetically aligned with the face.
Combo Brows: Combo brows are a combination of microblading and microshading. This is done by placing strokes at the borders and filling in the rest, giving them the illusion of darker, yet natural-looking brows.
Microblading Procedure
Microblading is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure involving tiny needles to create hair-like strokes in the eyebrow area and transferring ink into those strokes to create hair-like tattoos. This procedure doesn’t cause significant pain, but your practitioner may use a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area.
The step-by-step microblading procedure is as follows:
- Before starting the procedure, the dermatologist will draw the desired eyebrow shape with a pencil.
- After finalizing the eyebrow shape, they will apply an anesthetic cream to the treatment area.
- Once the site is numb, they will use the tiny needles of the handheld microneedling tool to draw thin, hair-like strokes.
- After creating the strokes, they will insert the pigment into the epidermis. The color is decided unanimously by the candidate and dermatologist before the procedure begins.
Microblading Aftercare
Effective aftercare helps ensure the optimal outcome of microblading treatment. Here are a few instructions you must follow after microblading treatment.
- Keep the treated area dry and clean.
- Do not pick at or rub the brow area for up to ten days or until your doctor suggests.
- Avoid any harsh skin treatments or products.
- Avoid wearing makeup for a week.
Eyebrow Microblading Results: Before and After
The results will become visible after one microblading session, but candidates may need to undergo another session to achieve their desired results. The results are natural-looking as each hair stroke is drawn according to the brows’ natural shape.
How Much Does Eyebrow Microblading Cost?
The average cost of microblading in Dubai is 2000 AED. However, the exact price may vary from person to person depending on the following factors:
- The amount of hair loss in the eyebrow area
- The technique used during the procedure
- The location of the clinic

How Long Does Microblading Last?
The results of microblading can last anywhere between 18 to 30 months. Several factors can influence the longevity of eyebrow microblading results, such as the type of skin, type of pigment, and technique used during the procedure.
Is Eyebrow Microblading Permanent?
Microblading is not a permanent treatment; instead, it is a semi-permanent makeup technique for enhancing eyebrows. However, the results can be maintained for a longer period if you abide by post-procedure care.
How Painful is Microblading?
Microblading may cause mild pain in the eyebrows because it uses tiny needles to create hair-like strokes and inject pigment. Your dermatologist may use an anesthetic cream to make the procedure completely painless. They may also prescribe painkillers to relieve pain after the treatment.
How Long Does the Session Take?
Since each candidate’s requirements can be different, the duration may vary from person to person.Typically, a microblading session lasts for about 2-3 hours, depending on the individual.
How Long Does it Take to Heal?
While minor swelling and other related issues will subside within a few hours, the eyebrows will completely heal in 3-4 weeks.
How Many Sessions are Needed?
