Eyebrows are one of the most important parts of the face for both women and men. The first impression, the focus of the people with whom you interact, has always been the face and the facial features. The eyebrows are a very characteristic part of the face.

Furthermore, the eyes and the surrounding area are one of the most engaging factors when interacting with others. That area of eyes is a place where we can show our nonverbal gestures. For this reason, any problems related to the eye surroundings tend to lower a person’s confidence or risk misunderstanding when communicating.

Unfortunately, not everyone is born with perfectly shaped eyebrows. Also, the ones with perfect eyebrows can lose their eyebrows because of several factors like traumas, accidents, diseases, or ageing. To hide or cure deformed eyebrows, people try different methods like plucking, trimming, or even pencilling in their brows. 

However, there are two longer-lasting options to gain attractive brows: eyebrow transplant and microblading. The two methods are different. While microblading gives temporary solutions, eyebrow transplant is permanent and is more aesthetic.

What Is Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant is a surgical procedure which involves taking hair follicles from the back of the neck or above the ears and then implanting them into the eyebrows area. It is a permanent solution that creates a natural, aesthetic appearance. The operation takes up to six hours, and the patient ideally doesn’t feel any discomfort. 

Before the operation, the patient and the doctor should have a conversation. The surgeon will ask the patient about the preferred shape and thickness of the new eyebrows before the surgery. At this point, the patient will be able to pick their choice of shape for their new eyebrows. You can choose any shape you want as long as it is concordant with your face type.

The healing process may differ range from five to fifteen days. The final results of the operation begin to show itself within a year after the procedure. If you have the procedure once, you will not have to do it again. The eyebrow transplant gives you a permanent solution with beautiful, natural-looking new eyebrows. 

What Is Microblading?

Microblading is a type of tattoo procedure. The specialist that performs the procedure uses a special device for creating the look of eyebrows. The patient must repeat this process once every six months because microblading is not permanent. Otherwise, the pigmenting colours will fade. This will cause the eyebrows to turn to their previous form. Microblading is generally used for shaping the eyebrow.

As it is in eyebrow transplant, the first step in the microblading procedure is deciding the eyebrows’ shape and size. Then, during the procedure, the microblading expert uses a small handheld tool to draw the tattoo lines that give the appearance of natural eyebrow hair. The microblading artists apply topical anaesthetics during the procedure so that the patient does not feel anything. The operation takes approximately two hours.

Traditional tattoos last longer than microblading. However, right after the operation, your eyebrows will look darker, the colours and lines will gradually fade. So you will need to repeat the procedure several times in the future.
