Having thick, full, and defined eyebrows is all the rage these days. Both men and women have become drawn to beautifully shaped, dense eyebrows, and thanks to microshading, it is possible to achieve this look despite having sparse or thinning eyebrows.

Unlike microblading, which involves tattooing full strokes along the browline, microshading uses a gentler technique to administer pixel dots of pigment under your skin, creating a semi-permanent powdered effect. This eyebrow filling technique creates a shadow pattern instead of a fine hair texture.

Wichita Plastic Surgery offers microshading using the PMU machine by Luxx Lab.

Who Can Benefit From Microshading?

Anyone that desires a powdered brow that gives a subtle, filled-in makeup look can benefit from the procedure. Perfect for all skin types, microshading is particularly ideal for those with oily and sensitive skin. This technique uses a gentler approach reducing the risks of irritation or discomfort.

The idea of having fuller eyebrows daily without the extra hassle of grooming when all you had was damaged brows due to excessive tweezing or plucking is exciting.

How Is Microshading Performed?

Your microshading procedure begins with a consultation session with your aesthetician. Your face will be carefully evaluated to determine the ideal brow shape for your unique bone structure and facial contour. Next, your new brow outline is mapped out in preparation for the actual process.

During the procedure, your aesthetician will use a unique medical pen to insert tiny pinpoint dots using a stippling method to create a soft, powdered effect. A numbing ointment may be used to make the whole experience more comfortable.

The procedure is very simple, only taking about two hours to complete. A perfecting session is scheduled eight weeks after the first session for a touch-up of the pigment.

What Results Can You Expect After Microshading?

Your eyebrows will appear sharp and very dark but will soften, fade and shrink considerably as healing progresses.

Shaded brows tend to last longer than microbladed brows, considering the pigment goes in deeper into the dermis layer of the skin. Due to the effects of sun exposure, cell turnover, and exfoliation, you can expect your results to last for about one to three years before needing a touch-up.

Is Microshading Right for Me?

If you are sick and tired of your sparse, scanty eyebrows, you can now have perfectly filled, hassle-free brows permanently. Microshading is the gentler technique of achieving the natural brow fullness you have always longed for.

A combination of microshading, microblading, and micro feathering can be used to achieve your unique version of robust yet natural eyebrows.
