SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP
MICROBLADING
We’ve all been there– spending countless hours and money on those makeup products only to have them slide off your face a few hours later. Microblading is a semi-permanent form of brow tattooing. If you’re tired of constantly filling your eyebrows with a brow pencil, then wait no more. Influennz, with the help of the microblading technique, can make your eyebrows the way you want them to be. Instead of a tattoo gun, microblading uses teeny tiny needles, that manually draws delicate hair strokes while also depositing pigment under your skin.
What is microblading and how is it different to micro-shading?
The names might sound similar, but microblading and micro-shading are totally different concepts. Both are forms of semi-permanent make-up for eyebrows but have subtle but important differences. Micro-blading is super precise whereas micro shading has a much softer finish. It is like using a brow pencil compared to a brow powder. Microblading tattoos are hair-like strokes in your existing brows, micro shading tattoos tiny dots on your brows for a less defined finish.
What are the types of microblading techniques at Influennz?
At Influennz, we offer 3 different types of techniques:
- Micro-shading: This is the most primitive type of brow tattooing. It is simply filling up your brow, mostly, resulting in the one when you fill your brows using a kohl pencil.
- MicroBlading: This is the most popular type of brow tattooing. In this hair-like strokes are created using teeny-tiny needles. This gives an impression of fuller brows.
- Ombre or Powder Brows: This is an exclusive form of brow tattooing found only at Influennz. This technique uses both micro-shading and microblading, to give luscious, dense and natural-looking brows.
Who is a good candidate for Microblading?
Our specialist can create the appearance of naturally full brows on any skin tone with any shade range. Also, if you lost your brows due to alopecia or hypothyroidism, you can still opt for our treatment. Microblading is slowly replacing brow pencils just like laser hair removal has replaced waxing altogether.
How long does Microblading last?
Microblading usually lasts 1-3 years depending upon your skin type, but clients are recommended to go for a touch-up after four weeks. After those four weeks, one won’t require to get another one for 12 months.
Can Microbladed eyebrows be undone/removed?
Yes, you can remove the pigment, as it does not leave any scar or discolouration behind. `the brows will also be in 40% darker shade for the next 7-10 days, also known as the healing process where scabs can form and flake off. If you still don’t like the final results of microblading, the colours can be reversed using a few laser shots.
How to prepare for a microblading procedure?

How long does microblading take to heal?
- Microblading usually takes 10-15 days to heal as the pigment settles into shape. During this process, your skin can be very sensitive. The skin on the eyebrows will scab and flake off.

SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION
Scalp Micropigmentation has become a popular treatment to hide scars and birthmarks and boost the visual impact of hair transplant treatments. Unlike hair transplant, scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive way of hair loss treatment.
Scalp Micropigmentation – Both Science and Art
Scalp micropigmentation requires expertise in determining the pattern of hair growth. Natural hair follicles don’t grow in the same direction, so, the doctor has to first recognize the natural direction and then idiosyncrasies of hair pattern. It also involves the use of multiple shades of pigmentation as all hai follicles are not of the same shade. Thus, micropigmentation blends artistic and modern technology to get the realistic finish of the hairline.
Procedure of Scalp Micropigmentation treatment
Scalp Micropigmentation requires 3 sittings of approximately 4 hours each with a gap of at least a week between them. The initial session includes the creation of the hairline and the first fill, followed by further fillings, texture smoothening and finishing in the later sessions. Once the procedure of micropigmentation is complete, aftercare is crucially important for best and long-lasting results.
Scalp Micropigmentation is an alternative treatment for hair loss. It should be opted when medication doesn’t give the desired results.
