What is Phibrows Microblading?
So, what is it all about?  Microblading is a cutting edge semi-permanent makeup technique, designed to enhance the eyebrows.  A special Phibrows tool/pen that have a row of several super fine blades are used to create hyper-realistic thin individual hair-like strokes in the skin that resemble eyebrow hair, creating the illusion of full and perfectly shaped beautiful eyebrows.  These are carefully drawn on one by one with pigment matching the natural hair colour and strokes are always drawn in the direction of natural hair growth to blend in with your existing hair.  The pigment is bladed just below the epidermis and the most shallow part of the dermis.  The shape of the eyebrows are calculated according to the structure of the face based on the 'golden ratio' (phi 1.618) measurement (Click on this youtube video if you want to learn more about the golden ratio).  This golden ratio is found in all things beautiful and in proportion, in nature, art and man-made structures.   This measurement will be complimentary to each individual clients' face.  It is an extremely meticulous process that takes a few hours to complete, as precision and detail work is required.  Treatments are done using sterile and disposable tools, while pigments used are of the highest standard and quality.  I use both Browtricks InkMe pigments, they are high end premium products and formulated so that colour lasts and and keeps it’s colour integrity over time.  They are also vegan friendly and cruelty free.

Why choose a Phibrows Certified Microblading Artist?

Phibrows artists produce great work because they follow a very specific method that is taught to them through a rigorous 6 month training course. This course requires the artist to pass 11 levels of mastery to ensure that their methods and their work maintain a very high standard.  The Phibrows standard.  The Phibrows method and tools have been meticulously designed and redesigned to aid their trained artists in producing very precise hairstrokes, better symmetry, and a beautiful eyebrow shape that goes with the natural shape of their client’s face and bone structure.  If you want great results with your microblading treatment, it is highly recommended that you seek out a Phibrows artist.

 

​How long is the procedure(s)? 

You will need two treatments on average. It is essential that you attend your second perfection 'touch-up' session in order to make your brows semi permanent.

1st Session (Initial) - up to 3 hours

2nd Session (Perfection) - up to 1.5 hours: 6-8 weeks after initial session but no later than 10 weeks or a new treatment is unfortunately needed. 

Remember that the final results are not determined until after your 2nd appointment - the Touch-up Session

A consultation and patch test is required although I will allow a waiver under signed consent.

​

How long will it last?

There are many factors that contribute to the retention of your Phibrows:  

• Skin quality / type - the oiliness of your skin and your daily routines 

• After care - plays a big role, so follow the instructions set out my me

• Lifestyle - exposure to sun, lots of exercise etc

​

- Oilier skin types: up to a year, 6 months on average.  This skin type is best for Ombré\Powder brows.  Please see information on this here.

- Normal to dry skin: up to 3 years or more (1-2 years on average)

 

Yearly or longer touch ups / colour boosts are required thereafter. 

 

None of these factors mentioned are under the artist’s control, thus providing any guarantee for the treatment is unfortunately not possible and unrealistic.

Can anyone get it done?

Microblading is an amazing treatment for almost everyone, over the age of 18, no exceptions!  They can be done as natural or as dramatic as the client wants. Some ladies have it done to make their makeup routine easier everyday thus saving on time. Others have it done to enhance their natural brows and frame their face when they are make-up free. And others have it done to give them a brow when they have none at all due to age, over-plucking (didn’t we all in the 80s/90s!) or as a result of illness/accident. 

 

Not everyone is a suitable candidate for this procedure however, so please refer to my ‘Microblading Suitability’ page for further information to see if you are eligible or just drop me an email with your questions and I will be happy to answer via the 'Contact & Location' page or directly at yentham.phibrows@gmail.com. 

What to expect during your treatment:
First hour I start by spending time measuring, designing and drawing your perfect brow shape bespoke to you, this is a collaborative process with you.  We will discuss your desired colour (usually will be matched to natural colour but this is at your discretion), brow shape and thickness etc and I will custom blend the perfect pigment for you.  Once we are happy with the above, we then start to microblade this pigment onto the skin. 

 

I will use a pre-numb before the procedure should you choose to have this and then a topical anesthetic during the procedure to help you feel comfortable for the duration of the treatment.  * Clients will find it more sensitive if treatment is performed during your monthly cycle so try to avoid appointments then if you can.  Although with the anesthetics that are used, you should not feel too much bar some pressure.  In fact, most clients fall alseep :) 

What to expect after your treatment:
Immediately after your treatment, the skin around your brows may be slightly pink. However this will disappear in a couple of hours.  Your brows will be darker during the first few days but they will start to fade thereafter. Your brows will fade up to 30% after your first treatment and they also can reduce up to 15%-20% in thickness and will appear softer. This is perfectly normal and you should expect this to happen.  You will be given an aftercare kit and after care instructions from me with everything that you will need anyway. 

 

After initial treatment the brows need to heal so we give 6-8 weeks for this process before it will require a perfecting 'touch-up' session. During this session, any missing hairs or tweaks to the brow shape or colour will be done and it is only after this session that the end results are determined. 

Your new eyebrows will go through several phases during the healing cycle.  True reflection of healed colour and results can only be assessed a minimum of 6 weeks after treatment.  Please refer to the visuals here to see what to expect.  

 

And remember, I'm always at hand to answer any concerns during this time and will stay in close contact with you with regular check-ins.  Ultimately, your brow success is mine too!

What is a Hybrid brow?:

What I like to call my 'Hybrid' brow, is a combination of hairstrokes and microshading (Ombré/Powder), where I will implant colour much like if you have filled

your brows with powder, giving a shaded look for both density and definition, where there are no, little or sparse brow hairs.  Sometimes, hairstrokes are not enough and we want to give the illusion of hair so there is no disparity between what is real and what is mimicked brow hair.
