Microshading is a cosmetic tattooing technique that involves using a small handheld tool to create semi-permanent hair-like strokes on the skin. It is primarily used to enhance and reshape the appearance of eyebrows.

During the procedure, a technician will use a microshading pen to deposit pigment into the skin. The pen is made up of small, fine needles that are used to create tiny cuts in the skin, allowing the pigment to be inserted into the epidermis layer. The technician will use different stroke patterns and colors to create the desired eyebrow shape and thickness.

Microshading typically lasts for 1-3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle. Touch-up appointments are usually required to maintain the look, as the pigment will gradually fade over time.

It is important to find a skilled and experienced technician to perform microshading, as improper technique or hygiene can lead to infection, scarring, and other complications. It is also important to follow aftercare instructions carefully to ensure the best results.
