1. What is Micro-blading?

Micro-blading is a meticulous cosmetic procedure that employs a blade-shaped tool to delicately etch lifelike brow hairs onto the skin’s surface. The gentle strokes produce a visually stunning effect that remains intact, resistant to the passing of time, for a period of one year or even longer.

That being said, DIY Micro-blading is a meticulous process you undertake in the comfort of your own home. With blades freshly sharpened to perfection, you delicately glide them against your skin, creating miniature, hair-like incisions. You (instead of a pro) immerse yourself in the creation of perfectly crafted brows.

Now that we have defined micro-blading, let’s delve into the potential risks associated with attempting this cosmetic procedure on your own.

2. Cutting the skin too deep

Performing an invasive procedure like Micro-blading on your own eyebrows could leave lasting scars, both physically and emotionally. The sound of the blade slicing through the skin, the slight burning smell of the tattoo ink, and the feeling of the sharp tool cutting too deep can haunt you for life. Unless you possess the skills and experience of a licensed tattoo artist, attempting to DIY Micro-blading is a recipe for disaster.

How so, you ask? Well, the pros know the delicate balance of finding the “sweet spot” where the pigment should be placed is separated by mere millimeters of dermis and major blood vessels. Going too deep can cause excessive bleeding, blurred colors, and a slow and poor healing process. The result? Possible permanent scarring of the delicate tissue, a constant reminder of the ill-fated decision to take matters into your own hands.

3. Blood contamination

That being said, it is worth noting that the majority of women who opt for DIY permanent/semi-permanent makeup have not had the opportunity to undertake these crucial medical courses. So, the specter of contamination looms large. The repercussions of such DIY ventures could be dire, as they pave the way for potentially debilitating infections and blood-borne diseases, like the dreaded hepatitis.

4. Permanent hair loss

Engaging in DIY Micro-blading at home poses a risk of enduring permanent hair loss, as trauma to the eyebrows can trigger this unfortunate consequence. The aftermath of such a procedure can manifest as severe crusting on the eyebrows, visually displaying the damage inflicted upon the root.

Regrettably, when this occurs, the chances of eyebrow hairs regrowing are incredibly slim, as stated by William Rassman in 2018.
