1. MICROBLADING USES A “MICROBLADE” TO IMPLANT COLOR INTO THE SKIN.

The pigment is applied to the skin one at a time during your brow sessions. Your artist will dip the microblade in an organic vegan pigment, creating your brows one at a time.

Powder Brows: uses a fine tattoo needle and a Permanent makeup (PMU) device to apply pigment to the skin. Sometimes Powder Brows can be called “Ombre Brows” or simply “Powder Brows.” Powder Brows look most similar to makeup powders, hence the name “Powder Brows.”

2. POWDER BROWS VS. MICROBLADING WILL LONGER HEAL TIME.

Microblading can be more painful because the microblade penetrates deeper into the epidermis (uppermost layers) of your skin. The initial stages of Microblading healing will take place over seven days.

Powder Brow recovers in five days. powder brows in calgary heal faster than Microblading because the pigment isn’t injected as deeply into the skin.

3. POWDER BROWS VS. MICRO BLADING IS TYPICALLY BEST IF DRY TO NORMAL SKIN

Microblading’s real-life effect depends on how you apply “hair strokes” to your skin and how quickly it heals. Your treatment will produce “hair strokes” for oilier skin types. Your strokes will appear more “feathered”, however.

If you have more oily skin, your artist may suggest Powder Brows. Your “hair strokes”, while they will heal in your skin, are not guaranteed to be crisp. Different ink formulations are constantly being developed to provide better results for oilier skin types.

4. The DESIRED OUTCOME SHOULD DETERMINE WHETHER MICROBLADING OR POWDERBROWS IS THE BEST PMU PROCEDURE FOR YOU.

Powder Brows will give you a defined brow. Why? Powder Brows look like a perfectly filled brows. Powder Brows are meant to make your eyebrows look like you have taken the time to fill them in.

5. POWDER BROWS VS. MICROBLADING HAS LONGER-LASTING RESULTS.

The difference between Microblading and Powder Brows depends on your skin type, skin tone, color selection, and how long you have been doing it. If you only do one session, the average time is nine months. If you complete both, you can expect to last 18-36 months. Microblading requires an annual touch-up to preserve the “hair strokes” you have created.

Power Brows typically last nine to twelve months. Period. This is due to the fact that the vegan pigment is not injected as deeply into your epidermis. Powder Brows will schedule your annual touch-up session when your eyebrows start to grow again. This is approximately nine months after your first Powder Brow Session.
