Are You The Right Candidate For Microblading?

What Is Microblading?

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure.  A specialized hand-controlled tool creates microscopic cuts or microstrokes in the skin, planting a pigment that resembles natural eyebrow hair.  The procedure has been popular in Asia and Europe for about 25 years, but is relatively new in other parts of the world. Microblading also goes by the names: microstroking, micropigmentation, eyebrow embroidery, eyebrow feathering, and 3D eyebrows.

Who Should Consider It?

According to microblading expert, Betsy Shuki, undergoing the procedure whilst pregnant, nursing or if diabetic is not advised. You will need a doctor’s note if you want to do the treatment under these circumstances. Apart from that, anyone else can try microblading.  It’s also seen as a great anti-aging technique. Reshaping your eyebrows; getting fuller and thicker eyebrows can ultimately make you look younger, offering a great lift to the face. The results and longevity of the procedure is directly related to your skin type: Excessively oily skin, larger pores, thicker skin and eyebrow keratosis can affect the absorption of the pigment into the skin after a few years.

What Is The Recovery Time?

It may take take anywhere from a week to ten days to fully recover from microblading.   Unless your daily routine involves being out in the sun,  you will be able to return to your daily routine post-procedure.

How Difficult Is It To Maintain?

After the procedure, your eyebrows shouldn’t require more than just an annual touch up. However, it’s still safe to get an application every 30 days if needed. A check up 10 months into your first procedure is also usually advised.

Are There Any Risks?

Due to the popularity of the procedure, and the different ways the procedure can be performed, microblading is sometimes performed by untrained professionals, which puts you at a much higher risk infection. A skin infection can become really serious once it spreads, especially one that emerges around the eyebrows as they are close to the eyes and brain.  This procedure also bears the risk of a blood born infection if not performed by a well-trained professional in a healthy and safe environment. There are many different forms of microblading, and microblading techniques are often unique to each company. It is advised that you research the credentials  and experience of your therapist before booking an appointment

OPINION: We love nature, so let’s spend time with it

Americans appear to have a mixed relationship with the outdoors. On one hand, most people say that nature is one of their most enjoyable interests. But on the other, they don’t spend much time outdoors. The gap between interest in nature and the amount of time actually spent in natural settings is explored in a fascinating new study, “The Nature of Americans.” The study’s authors surveyed nearly 12,000 adults and children to identify barriers that keep people from going outside, and find ways to overcome them. According to the study, Americans of all ages understand the tremendous benefits nature provides. “The vast majority of adult Americans surveyed reported that nature is highly important for their physical health and emotional outlook,” the report said. “Most noted that certain smells and sounds of nature bring to mind some of their happiest memories, that being in nature provides a sense of peace, and that being in nature helps to give meaning and purpose to their li...

Single-cell sequencing made simple

Single-cell biology is a hot topic these days. And at the cutting edge of the field is single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Conventional ‘bulk’ methods of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) process hundreds of thousands of cells at a time and average out the differences. But no two cells are exactly alike, and scRNA-seq can reveal the subtle changes that make each one unique. It can even reveal entirely new cell types. For instance, after using scRNA-seq to probe some 2,400 immune-system cells, Aviv Regev of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and her colleagues came across some dendritic cells that had potent T-cell-stimulating activity ( A.-C. Villani   et al .  Science   356 , eaah4573; 2017 ). Regev says that a vaccine to stimulate these cells could potentially boost the immune system and protect against cancer. Typically, RNA-seq data is analysed by laboriously typing commands into a Unix operating system. Data files are passed from one software package...
