McKinney Microblading Treatments

If you’re unhappy with the shape or fullness of your brows and you would love a more uniform, complete look, BeauxMD has you covered.

So many people have patchy brows, uneven brows, sparse brows, or even no brows at all, and they want a more lasting solution than makeup provides, thus microblading has become extremely popular.

At BeauxMD, we offer McKinney microblading for those looking for more balanced brows. This semi-permanent treatment involves using tiny, fine-point needles to tattoo super-fine “hair strokes” onto your brows that look natural.

About Microblading

Although it’s called “microblading,” there’s actually no blade involved. Rather, the treatment uses a super-fine pen made of 12-15 tiny acupuncture needles to fill pigment into the brow area. Due to how fine it is, the pen has the ability to make “hair strokes” that look natural, creating the illusion of fuller eyebrows.

What are Microblading Treatments Like?

Our microblading appointments typically take about one hour. We will talk to you about your concerns and goals regarding your eyebrows. We will determine the best shape for your face, as well as the right shade for your unique coloring and skin.

On the day of your appointment, the brow area will be cleansed and numbed, then the tiny brow “hairs” will be drawn with the super-fine pen. Each blade of “hair” is like a tiny paper cut, but the area will be numbed to keep any discomfort minimal. As the cuts are made, pigment is applied to the skin at the same time, ensuring that the “hairs” come out precise and refined.

Note that immediately after your treatment, the pigment will look fairly dark because it’s so fresh, and your skin will be red from the procedure. It typically takes 7-14 days for the skin to return to normal and for the pigment to fade to its actual shade. Contact our office to receive some of the best microblading Plano has to offer.

How Long Does Microblading Last?

The needles of the microblading pen only penetrate the superficial layers of the skin, which is why the treatment is called “semi-permanent.” However, it does typically last for anywhere between 1-3 years. The best way to extend this time is to avoid using exfoliants on your brows and be careful in the sun. Sunlight can fade the pigment.

After your microblading appointment, you will need to come back in about one month for a follow-up and touch-up, if needed. It is recommended to touch up your new brows every 3-6 months to keep them looking vibrant and fresh.

Microblading Aftercare

Microblading aftercare is a lot like tattoo aftercare, only more intensive. About three hours after your treatment, run a clean, wet Q-tip over your eyebrows. Use only sterilized water for this. Not only does this remove any excess pigment; it also ensures that the area is kept clean.

We may recommend an ointment for you after your appointment, but the best product you can use during recovery is sunscreen. Using a good SPF will help prevent your eyebrows from fading in the sunlight.

It’s wise to avoid any retinols or Retin-A for a month after your microblading appointment. (You should also avoid using these for a week before your appointment.) Retinols and Retin-A can make the pigment fade prematurely.

Other things to avoid after microblading:

Water, for up to 10 days. This means keeping your face dry during showers.
Makeup, for at least a week. You’ll want the pigment to continue to settle in properly to the tiny cuts. Makeup can tamper with this process.
Touching the eyebrow area. Do not pick at any scabs or scratch your eyebrow area.
Saunas, baths, swimming, and excessive sweating until you have had your follow-up appointment.
Hair in your face. Try to keep your hair away from your eyebrows.

Following these instructions will help with the healing process and will ensure your brows look their best.
