Microblading is a technique in which a small handheld tool made of several tiny needles is used to add semi-permanent pigment to the skin.The procedure involves hundreds of tiny strokes that build a texture that looks like your own eyebrow hair. Microblading results can last 12-18 months, which is a big part of its appeal. Microblading cuts into the skin in the area of your eyebrows and implants pigment into the cuts.
