This is the application of placing hypo allergenic micro pigments into the the upper layer of the skin using cosmetically graded needles. The pigment will, after a healing process, stay in the skin for a number of years. It will break down and fade with time, dependent on the patients age; skin type and lifestyle.

This procedure is also referred to as permanent make-up, semi permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing or micro pigmentation.

Microblading, semi permanent makeup, digital blading, nano blading, permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing, micropigmentation… so many names, but the end result can be the same and is down to the technicians skill. It’s just a style/technique and a different place of equipment used to perform the treatment. Microblading can be a lot more traumatic on the skin than a digital machine, often leading to scarring after a few treatments yet clients think they are going for the less invasive/less permanent option. This is not the case.
