Micro What? Microblading Vs. MicroNeedling

Brookes Pittman, APRN | 09/15/2017

You know that when you reach a certain age, that it's time to start getting cosmetic procedures done from a professional office like Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery. However, unless you work in the field or are a beauty connoisseur, you may not be familiar with the different procedures. As two procedures that sound similar but do different things, microblading and microneedling can easily get mistaken for each other. To help you feel more informed, we have created a brief article. Read on to learn more.

MicroBlading

MicroBlading, especially for eyebrows, is one of the most popular procedures right now. With celebrities like Cara Delevigne rocking full, bushy eyebrows, it's making more and more people want to have that same look. MicroBlading involves using a very small tattoo gun to fill in your eyebrows. Catered exactly toward the shape, color, and size that you want, microblading can give you a natural look without you having to continually fill in your eyebrows with a pencil. And, one of the best parts about microblading is that it typically lasts about 18 months.

MicroNeedling

This procedure uses hundreds of tiny needles to puncture your skin. Once these punctures have been made, it will cause your skin to heal itself which produces healthier, collagen-filled skin in the process. MicroNeedling is ideal for patients who are looking to treat fine lines and wrinkles, add more volume to their skin, and get rid of any scarring. Plus, because it's non-invasive, you won't have to worry about taking too much time off of work or any downtime. MicroBlading and MicroNeedling may sound similar, but they are far from.
