One of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the world, perhaps, is eyebrow microblading in Singapore. Also called eyebrow embroidery, microblading is a semi-tattoo treatment that aims to make your eyebrows look thicker and lusher. Like a tattoo, a small device embeds the ink beneath the skin in a superficial layer. The tattoo mimics the strokes of the brow, giving a more natural look while filling in the empty spots.

Brow embroidery in Singapore has many benefits, yet many are still dubious about it because of the myths surrounding it. Here are the most common myths about eyebrow microblading.

MYTH #1: EYEBROW MICROBLADING IS TATTOOING

Although eyebrow embroidery and tattooing are almost similar, they still have little differences. Their biggest difference is the skin they tint.

In tattoos, the ink reaches the dermis layer of the skin; hence, they are permanent. Meanwhile, in eyebrow and hairline embroidery, the ink goes to the shallower layer of the skin, ergo prone to fading. It is also why eyebrow embroidery is semi-permanent tattooing.

Another difference is the ink they use. Eyebrow and lips embroidery in Singapore use organic pigments that are safe to use. Meanwhile, some tattooing ink could be dangerous due to the metals in it.\

MYTH #2: EYEBROW MICROBLADING IS PAINFUL

Getting a tattoo can be painful, so it is not surprising that some people think eyebrow embroidery is as excruciating as tattooing. When it comes to pain level, tattooing is far more painful than embroidery.

Besides the fact that eyebrow embroidery device only punctures the shallowly on the skin, estheticians apply numbing creams to minimise the pain. However, the patient may still feel tenderness and sting on their eyebrows after the procedure.

MYTH #3: YOU ONLY NEED TO GET EYEBROW EMBROIDERY ONCE

As mentioned, eyebrow embroidery and eyeliner tattoo in Singapore are semi-permanent, meaning they will fade after a while. When it fades, you may need to get a touch-up. But this is optional. Some people choose not to get a touch-up.

Embroidery fades after four to six weeks, depending on your aftercare. You can visit your esthetician for touch-ups.

MYTH #4: YOU CAN GET EYEBROW EMBROIDERY FROM A SALON OR SPA

Eyebrow microblading in Singapore is minimally invasive. An esthetician or certified medical professional should perform this procedure. Otherwise, the person is prone to infection and diseases once the patient gets in contact with non-sterile tools and devices or a dirty environment.

Now that you know the truth behind the eyebrow microblading myths, are you ready to get one?
