There’s no question that looking well-groomed is equally important to everyone, no matter how they identify. And while a lot of beauty treatments are becoming increasingly popular because of women, cosmetic procedures for men like MenBrow are also slowly becoming a trend.
What is MenBrow?
MenBrow, or eyebrow microblading for men, is a semi-permanent enhancement technique that allows guys to achieve well-defined and natural-looking brows. It is done through a cosmetic tattooing procedure that creates hair-like strokes that follow the natural shape of the eyebrow.
The result? Realistic-looking brows that stay intact for more than a year.
The procedure lasts for approximately one hour and a half to two hours. While microbladed eyebrows typically take 7-10 days to heal, it's important to note that like any SPMU procedure, full healing can take up to 30 days.
Why should men microblade their eyebrows?
It is particularly common for men to experience hair loss, even on the brow area, as they age. Much like microblading for women, this procedure offers a solution to common issues like brow thinning and unevenness. The great thing about MenBrow is that it mimics the look of real hair, giving a well-groomed set of brows that’s so natural no one will notice microblading work has been done.
Miss Derm’s MenBrow approach
What makes Miss Derm unique is our commitment to making every procedure a collaborative experience with our clients. We offer our expertise to guide clients through every step of the process, so that we may agree on a finished product together. From their desired shape, color, and stroke direction, we ensure that everything is aligned with our client’s expectations.
Here are the standard steps that we follow:
Finding the right color
Our artists ensure that the blend of pigments used matches the client’s natural brow color.
Following the brow’s natural growth pattern
With Artistry and expertise combined, we put great effort into making sure that each stroke is placed exactly as it should be.
Fixing the brow shape
We enhance the client’s facial features through the brows as men tend to be a bit unruly and imperfect (unlike women’s which are naturally arched).
How long does MenBrow last?
The results of MenBrow usually last for 1.5 to 2 years, depending on several factors such as one’s skin type and lifestyle.
Tattooed pigments will gradually fade as the skin naturally exfoliates itself. This is why a touch-up is recommended once a year for clients who wish to retain the shape and volume of their microbladed brows.
