What Is Phibrows?
Phibrows is a manual, semi-permanent, tattoo technique of hyper-realistic eyebrow strokes.
Mimicking the natural eyebrow hair and drawing the strokes in the same direction to achieve a beautiful natural appearance. Some would say it's one of the most natural-looking eyebrow techniques in the world.
People suffering from alopecia, Trichotillomania, or any other condition that causes hair loss can greatly benefit from microblading as well as people who simply are not happy with their eyebrow shape, thickness, or length. Sparse gaps can also be completely restored. Your brows will not appear too heavy as the healed results fade to a more natural colour after the healing process as the ink is deposited under the skin and not on top of the skin. It will create a beautifully natural result that you can wake up with every morning.
The microblading treatment is a two-part process. The first process is to design your new brows and to deposit the first insertion of pigment. This session includes face mapping, brow measuring, disinfecting the area to be treated, and microblading of the brows. This appointment can take up to 3.5+ hours from start to finish.
The second part of the process is the touch-up session. Usually, this takes place between four and six weeks depending on how quickly your skin heals. It also usually takes this amount of time for the pigment to re-surface. 10% - 15% of the strokes are lost after the first session, and
depending on the factors this percentage can be relatively higher, as high as 80%, so the touch-up session is used to go over lost strokes, adjusting the shape back to its original planned design, or just filling in the missing gaps, where strokes may have been lost. The touch-up session is usually a shorter appointment, as it consists of re-blading the lost strokes. (Unless the shape is lost then I will face map and measure the brows) If the skin is oily, several touch-ups may be needed as the pigment retention is shorter for those with oily skin.
The treatment is done by using a sterile, disposable tool. The tool consists of various amounts of stainless-steel, fine, single needles arranged closely together, creating the blade, used during treatment. The pigment is deposited, with this tool, into the epidermis, on to the surface layer of the dermis just below the basal layer. The cells of the basal layer continuously divide, the pigment is then broken down and eventually migrates to the surface causing the pigment to fade away after around 6
-18 months. (depending on many factors such as the skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, age, skin thickness and the skins natural production of melanin and more)
The shape Is determined by the natural facial morphology and anatomy of the face. Using the natural brow bone as a guide, as to where the brow needs to be placed and taking into consideration the client's preferability of length and thickness. In order to give the face its symmetry and accurate measurements for both brows, I use the golden mean ratio. The phibrows application Is used with its own built-in measuring features. Alongside this, I use a tool, manually, called the phibrow compass, and sometimes the string method. The eyebrows are measured out before the treatment and are done
So while the client's eyes are closed because in this way the 'mimic' muscles on the face are relaxed. Giving a much more accurate position of the drawn-on brow. The treatment will only be carried out once the client is 100% happy with the shape, length, and thickness of the brows we have drawn.
The pigment colour is usually determined by the natural brow and hair colour, this is simply because our skin tone influences the pigments healed colour. Depending on the amount of natural melanin our skin produces, this usually has an impact on the final healed results.
For your peace of mind, PHI have their own Phi-physicians that specialize in skin, skin diseases/conditions along with medication knowledge so any concerns can be discussed before your treatment as well as consulting your own doctor for approval if needed.
