The Microblade method:
Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattoo/permanent make up (PMU). The term ‘microblading’ refers to the tool that is used – a pen like, hand held device with a number of tiny needles positioned together to form a ‘blade’. The Microblade is used to break (or 'scratch') the skin and implant pigment. No machine is used for this this method. Rachel uses this method to create individual hairstrokes giving a natural effect and helping to fill gaps. Please note that microblading is not suitable for all skin types – results are best on healthy and younger skin. Oily/porous/mature/thin skin is usually more suited to the machine method.
The Machine method:

It is performed more like a traditional tattoo, using a machine with a vibrating needle(s) to implant the pigment. It is actually a more gentle method of PMU and good for delicate/mature skin. It is also a better option for oily skin. A natural effect can be achieved and can look similar to brow pencil/powder or a brow tint and

Results are always dependent on each individual’s skin, lifestyle factors and following the correct after care.

In most cases a 6 week top up after the initial treatment is required to ensure the best possible results. This is included in the price of the initial treatment.
