Quick Guide for Perfect Eyebrows: How Microblading Differs from Machine Method?

Introduction

Here’s one question that pops up in our DM day in and day out: “What is the difference between micro-blading and machine eyebrows?” Alright. We understand your frustration. You wish to have those perfect, seductive, head-turning brows, don’t you? But, the overwhelming amount of misinformation making rounds on the internet quadruples the challenge of finding the perfect answer to the question. Therefore, we wanted to post a standalone article describing the differences between micro-blading and machined permanent eyebrows. We’ll discuss the methods, share the pros and cons of using them, and similarities between the two procedures. So, let’s cut to the chase and get started!

 

What are machined permanent eyebrows?

Machined brows, also called Permanent Make-Up or micro-pigmentation, involve a cosmetic tattoo machine that implants pigments into the skin. The make-up artist uses ultra-fine needles that implant the pigment close to the skin surface. You have a wide range of techniques to choose from when you go for machined brows, for example, powdered brows, ombre brows, natural enhancing hair stroke eyebrows, and more. With new technology now they have what’s called nano needles which create the most realistic look of hairs. When this procedure is healed you would never know that they weren’t real. Here are the pros and cons of using the machine for permanent eyebrow procedure.

Pros of machined eyebrows!

  • The machined permanent eyebrows procedure is great for mostly all skin types. People with certain skin types and age of skin are not great for microblading. Which makes working with a machine give them the best results.

  • Machined hair-strokes are superior to micro-blading as the former rarely results in ink bleeding. Thus, it ensures excellent strokes as the make-up artist can go through the same path until you get the look you want.

  • The machined hair strokes are made by small impressions in the skin, not cutting the skin like microblading. So this will not leave scar tissue in the skin.

Cons of machined eyebrows!

  • The vibrations and noise from the machine affect the overall customer experience. Make-up artists find it hard to control the machines due to the vibrations. The artist’s erratic hand movements might injure the customer.

  • If the make-up artist is not experienced they can run the risk of operating at the wrong angle into the skin. The artists need to keep their hand movements in check and ensure they don’t overuse the machine.

Micro-blading procedure for permanent eyebrows

An alternative to machined brows, micro-blading is another popular permanent eyebrow technique. Although the concept is similar to machined eyebrows, the make-up artists implant the pigment into the skin using a disposable hand tool. The tool is used to produce fine hair strokes. The needles in the hand tool have the potential to create ultra-sharp or ultra-fine hair strokes. How fine are the hair strokes? Well, the strokes are so fine that they look just like real eyebrow hair. Thus, the micro-blading procedure is for people that want perfectly natural-looking eyebrows! Here are the pros and cons of using the micro-blading permanent eyebrow procedure.

Pros of micro-blading eyebrows!

  • Micro-blading is super simple for a skilled make-up artist. Why? The hand tool or manual tool used in the procedure comes with a blade that is easy to operate. Drawing strokes with the tool is quite simple.
  • Customers don’t have to fight the irritating sound from the machining procedure. There are no vibrations or distractions. This makes the procedure soothing and comfortable for customers. Also, the manual tool is easier to place strokes with than a machine.

Cons of micro-blading eyebrows!

  • As discussed earlier, micro-blading involves making minor cuts to put the ink in place. The cuts made in the skin are relatable to papercuts. Customers getting the procedure done by inadequately trained artists might end up damaging their skin unknowingly. Once the cuts are made, any touchup procedure will only irritate the skin more.
  • The make-up artist might feel the need to perform more ink injections after the first one. This might end up over-thickening the strokes and adversely impact the healing process. As a result, the strokes will seem blurry instead of natural-looking.
  • If the ink from the skin starts to bleed, it will be practically impossible to restore the procedure. The make-up artist has to put in a lot of effort to lock the ink in the whole cut.

What are the similarities between micro-blading and machine procedures?

However, one should also acknowledge the similarities between the two permanent eyebrow procedures! Both the eyebrow tattooing procedures involve pigments deposited into the skin’s upper dermal layer. The procedures are classified as cosmetic tattooing and hence require highly trained and skilled make-up professionals. The end result of the procedures mostly depends on the skill of the artist instead of the method of implantation. Therefore, you must seek highly reputed and skilled make-up professionals to get your eyebrows done.

Which permanent eyebrow procedure is best for YOU? 

Your eyebrows deserve the best. Hence, we went all the way to write a post showing the differences between micro-blading and machined permanent eyebrows. Now that you know how both the methods differ, do you feel confident enough to make a choice for yourself? If you don’t, feel free to reach out to us and ask any questions about your upcoming eyebrow procedure! Since everyone’s skin is different, we highly recommend connecting with our friendly make-up experts to get a customized solution for your brows in no time. Did you find this post helpful?

Let’s talk about insurance

By Kelsey Woodbridge

Dealing with insurance is similar to having to go to the DMV to renew a license; it’s borderline traumatizing. You may not have to take a photo looking like your next mugshot, but you will be transferred an excess amount of times before receiving any kind of answer to your questions. And then, you’re not even sure if you have all the information.

Companies and plans differ but in the end, your insurance is there to cover your payments when unexpected medical payments arise. Insurance is security – an asset when you are faced with unplanned charges.

 

How does this apply to areola nipple tattooing?

 

We often get asked, “Is this covered by insurance?” The short answer is: it’s complicated. The shorter answer is: no. We are not in network with any insurance providers, so patients must pay out of pocket for their procedure.

The silver lining: procedures can be filed for reimbursement.

While insurance companies cannot directly pay for the services patients receive the day of their visit, patients are given the information to submit a letter of reimbursement to insurance to get the money back.

Why aren’t medical tattooing services recognized and directly covered under insurance?

 

Good question, we’re still fighting that one. Medical tattooing is seen as a “cosmetic procedure” that is not necessary. Meanwhile after a mastectomy, if you get nipple reconstruction, it’s covered by insurance. Our company offers 3D nipple tattooing, an alternative to nipple reconstruction that would save insurance companies’ thousands of dollars, but it is not covered.

While some say reconstructing a breast is necessary, a tattoo to add color back to an areola is currently not seen as necessary. Insurance companies don’t have to cover this, and many don’t. If the goal is to provide coverage for procedures that recreate the allusion of a body part that has been taken out, it seems like only half the job is being covered. That’s not good enough.

 

Men and women that have gone through a difficult illness like cancer and the trauma of losing part of their body, should not have to financially worry about procedures that are provided to help them recreate what they lost. But the legality of the language and the judgements behind tattoos, are causing a hole in the system.

 

We’ll let you be the judge – is reimbursement a good start?

#12DaysofNipples

By Kelsey Woodbridge

Welcome to the #12DaysofNipples

Nipples are natural. But they’re also funny, sexy, gross, embarrassing, maternal, beautiful, and sometimes extra perky.

 

Label them what you want, your nips are so much #MoreThanNips.

We see nipples all day long because we tattoo them. Our patients survive breast cancer, breast reconstruction, (sometimes) nipple reconstruction, and then we tattoo a nipple on them!

Their plastic surgeon takes a nipple, so we give one. Kind of like those penny bowls at store counters. Except nipples come with the weight of labels – ones we give and ones we take on.

 

We’re taking those labels out this holiday season.

Nipples are so much more than nipples but they’re also just nipples, wherever they came from.

 

Sometimes you lose a nipple, and that’s okay. Is it hard? Yes. What’s even harder? No not your nipple, but all those negative thoughts you tell yourself when you lose a nipple. We’re here to tell you – with or without a nipple you’re beautiful. We’re okay with giving you that label. And, accepting a new nipple is fine (our nipples are works of beautiful art, especially on you)!

 

The great thing about body parts? They won’t get jealous when you decide to get a new one.

 

We’re putting nipples on fun things like Rudolph’s nose, because we all need an extra laugh this holiday season, and how can you label that?

 

Enjoy your nipples (or nipple-less self), ladies and gents. Happy #12DaysofNipples.

 

Sincerely,

The Sauler Team

Training Hospitals on Medical Tattooing

By Kelsey Woodbridge

Medical tattooing is the process of tattooing to reconstruct, or present the appearance of something on one’s body due to a medical condition or surgery. A popular example of this would be tattooing an areola 3D nipple on a breast cancer survivor, in order to replicate the appearance of a nipple after breast reconstruction. This can also help reconstruct other body parts like belly buttons, fingernails, or even help with webbed toes.  Medical tattooing can also include camouflaging scars that are lighter than the surrounding skin due to surgeries, accidents, or other causes.

MSK medical tattooing training

 

While the demand for medical tattooing is increasing, there is also a strong need for experienced instructors in hospitals. The common misconception with medical tattooing is that it is completely a “medical” procedure, meaning anyone with a medical background can perform this procedure on a patient. However, many of our patients come to us to have their nipple tattoos redone because they aren’t happy with the results done by a medical professional. Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants are not qualified to perform medical tattooing unless they have had comprehensive training. Advancements in training for 3D nipple tattooing were not available like they are now. Now is the time to get trained in this growing industry!

 

How it works:

How does medical tattoo training work?

  1. We will come to you. Just as patients are more comfortable having a procedure in an office they know, so is your staff. We understand that hospital staff are extremely busy, and may not have time to travel to obtain the necessary skills for this practice.
  2. We will completely customize the training to your hospital staff. In most cases, medical staff is already aware of the medical side of our training. Meaning, will not spend time lecturing on breast cancer history or the different types of reconstruction if this is already knowledge they have.
  3. You train alongside your peers. We will build a class for your employees, and cater to their abilities. When learning a new technique, it’s important to bounce off ideas and questions with others in your group.

 

Why bring a trainer to your hospital?

MSK medical tattooing training

The reality is that many unqualified medical professionals are medical tattooing in order to keep patients in-house. However, when clients come to us unhappy with their nipple tattoos, it’s clear professional medical tattoo training is needed. When hospitals train their staff on medical tattooing, they are investing in their employee’s skills and their patient’s procedures. This will provide patients will quality nipple tattoos, and keep your patients in-house. This will lead to satisfied patients that will then bring more patient referrals to you practice.

We’ve been invited to train at some of the most top-notch hospitals in the nation. Check out a list of these hospitals here.

 

What you will learn

 

Trainings are comprehensive and packed with information across the 3 days. Hospital staff will be under the instruction of Sauler technicians, learning about how to create the illusion of an areola 3D nipple tattoo. If interested, hospitals can be trained in scar camouflage as well.

American Society of Plastic Surgeons Conference

By Kelsey Woodbridge

It was an honor that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons allowed our company to be represented at the ASPS Conference in Orlando, Florida this month. Plastic surgeons travel in from all over the world (almost 50 countries!) in order to share expertise about their fields.American Society of Plastic Surgeons

You may be wondering how our company fits into this area, as tattooing may not be the first thing you think of when “surgeon” comes to mind. Contrary to popular belief, this is actually how we’ve specialized in a highly credible form of medical tattooing. After plastic surgery, the patient is sometimes left with a lot of scarring. We work directly with plastic surgeons in their office and several hospitals. We offer services such as scar camouflage, reconstructive tattooing and hyper realistic 3D nipples, that extend the transformation of the patient.

Understanding the ins and outs of plastic surgeons, allows us to give better care for our patients. When patients see us, they are usually in the final step of their transformation. Whether this is an areola nipple tattoo, a 3D nipple, or scar camouflage. By understanding the procedure they previously had, we are able to better the tattooing we can provide for them. This goes both ways, while we learn a lot about the medical field, we also are able to share procedures we provide that many surgeons don’t even know are available. We have been able to recreate a lip that was lost from cancer, a fingernail that was bitten off by a dog, and many more. The new advancements in reconstructive tattooing are incredible

Unfortunately, there is a lot of misconceptions about tattooing, especially in the medical field. Have you heard of Microblading? It’s a procedure that has received a lot of air on the media, however it’s widely mis practiced. In fact, we perform a lot of corrective work on patients that received cosmetic tattoos from untrained technicians, and this sadly does not exclude medical professions.

American Society of Plastic Surgeons Conference PanelFortunately, it’s platforms like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons Conference, that allow us to spread the knowledge of this new form of tattooing services. Medical tattooing is an art completed in a medical setting, meaning it takes tattoo training. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons Conference was an amazing experience for so many. We were able to make many great connections and reach more awareness for what truly can be done in the medical tattooing industry.

Permanent Eyebrows

Mасhіnе vѕ Mіrсоblаdіng

How long does it take you to put on your makeup? Sometimes 20 minutes, or maybe 10 if you’re in a hurry? Standing іn frоnt of thе mirror, while only thinking about your morning coffee, can leave you shaming the need to fill in your eyebrows or add a little eyeliner just to feel ready for the day. Fоr this reason, most орt for permanent eyebrows tо bypass this reoccurring сhаllеngе.

Commonly known as permanent makeup оr cosmetics, this rеfеrѕ tо thе application of ріgmеntаtіоn into a dermal lауеr оf the ѕkіn tо rерlасе the frеquеnt makeup process. Pеrmаnеnt mаkеuр іѕ broadly divided іntо categories: mасhіnе tаttооіng and Mісrоblаdіng. Micropigmentation, is соmmоnlу uѕеd to асhіеvе реrmаnеnt eyebrows, аѕ well аѕ lір аnd eyeliner procedures.

Mасhіnе

There are different types of machines that can be used for tattooing permanent makeup. There is a needle or several needles that move in an up and down motion about 3000 times per minute. You can achieve eyebrows with the look of of hair strokes, similar to the look of eyebrows made through Microblading, by using a single needle.

Microblading is equally a рrосеѕѕ by whісh pigment іѕ іmрlаntеd into thе skin. In this рrосеѕѕ however, a precision hand tool іѕ used іnѕtеаd оf a machine. This tool is not an actual blade, it is multiple needles stacked in a row. An аrtіѕt оr mісrоblаdіng tесhnісіаn meticulously draws еасh hair ѕtrоkе into thе ѕkіn following thе dіrесtіоn and length of the еxіѕtіng hairs оr creating brоw-lіkе hairs.

Thе Sіmіlаrіtіеѕ

Thеу аrе bоth tattooing рrосеѕѕеѕ

By dеfіnіtіоn, tattooing іѕ thе іntrоduсtіоn of ріgmеntѕ іntо the inner dermal lауеr of thе ѕkіn, and соntrаrу to рорulаr сlаіmѕ that mісrоblаdіng іѕ nоt a tattooing process, studіеѕ have ѕhоwn thаt it іn fасt іѕ. Once the pigment is placed Into the dermal layer it would be considered a permanent procedure. Although, these procedures will fade over time.

Thеу bоth require aftercare

Both machine tаttооіng аnd mісrоblаdіng require a реrіоd оf аftеrсаrе рrоvіdеd bу your technician. This process is noninvasive and usually takes about 4 weeks to fully heal.

Thеу bоth have mіnіmаl downtime

Clients who have undergone any оr both рrосеdurеѕ can resume daily activities. Some slight redness and, rarely, swelling with occur after this procedure.

The Dіffеrеnсеs

Thе tооl uѕеd for еасh prосеѕѕ

Thе bulk оf thе dіffеrеnсе bеtwееn thе twо рrосеѕѕеѕ rests іn the tооl uѕеd fоr еасh рrосеѕѕ. Machine tattooing іѕ dоnе bу a mасhіnе, which mоѕt of the time, is dіgіtаllу calibrated tо the suited еуеbrоw fоrmѕ. On the other hand, Mісrоblаdіng uѕеѕ a рrесіѕіоn hаnd tool fitted wіth sharp nееdlеѕ and іѕ handled by a ѕkіllеd аrtіѕt who mаnuаllу іnfuѕеѕ thе ріgmеntѕ іntо thе ѕkіn.

The degree of pаіn experienced durіng thе process

Mасhіnе tattooing processes оftеn іnflісt grеаtеr раіn on clients thаn thе mісrоblаdіng рrосеѕѕ. Hоwеvеr, thіѕ іѕ not a mаjоr constraint іn opting fоr еіthеr оf thе processes, аѕ аnеѕthеtісѕ can bе uѕеd to mаkе thе pain ѕubtlе оr іn some саѕеѕ, mаkе the рrосеѕѕ totally раіnlеѕѕ.

Learning Prосеѕѕеѕ and quаlіfісаtіоnѕ required оf tесhnісіаnѕ

Both prосеѕѕеѕ requіrе special trаіnіng tо be quаlіfіеd fоr the jоb. Hоwеvеr, соnѕіdеrіng the fact thаt microblading іѕ a manual рrосеѕѕ, іt often requіrеѕ the аcquіѕіtіоn оf a ѕресіаl аrtіѕtіс ѕkіllset іn оrdеr tо quаlіfу as a mісrоblаdіng artist. The machine tаttооіng рrосеѕѕ also requіrеѕ іntrісаtе knоwlеdgе in order to ореrаtе thе mасhіnе.

Ease Your Life With Permanent Cosmetics:

Permanent Cosmetics:  A Growing Trend in Beauty Enhancement

Three top reasons seem to be igniting the trend towards permanent makeup.

The fast pace of modern life and the desire to carve a few free moments out of every day not to have to apply makeup, the use of social media (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat) with a desire to be “camera ready” at any time, and to gain the competitive edge with “attractiveness” in the business world.

Permanent makeup means no more hours in front of the mirror with brushes and pencils and no need to redo makeup after a full day. With permanent makeup you cleanse, moisturize and apply a light foundation, you are ready to greet the world. Makeup looks fresh and perfect every minute of even the longest, toughest days.

We at the Sauler Institute believe in natural enhancement of your features. As professionals, our permanent cosmetic enhancement appears more natural than most topical applications. You will never look “made up” but only refreshed day in and day out.

Permanent makeup placement can accentuate your natural features drawing upon the strengths of your facial structure. Adding youthful color to aging faces making lips appear fuller with full lip color and lip-liner reshaping; reshaped pale or sparse eyebrows with strokes that simulate real hair; definition for eyes that have lost lashes over time with implanting pigment within the lash line to produce a look of fuller lashes and a defined eye.

Clients have stated that the ease of process and the immediate gratification (literally no down time) provides the lift they need to feel reassured of looking their best.

At the Sauler Institute permanent cosmetics provides personal freedom and a sense of confidence. Permanent cosmetics Is truly a “lifestyle changer”.

COSMETIC AND MEDICAL TATTOOING WILL IMPROVE YOUR LOOK AND IMPROVE SELF CONFIDENCE.
SAULER INSTITUTE OF TATTOOING SPECIALIZES IN ADVANCED  MEDICAL AND COSMETIC TATTOOING.
 
The loss of pigmentation  (hypopigmentation) can be as a result from various causes. Trauma to the skin, plastic surgery, skin cancers, burns, removal of moles, overly aggressive laser treatments, blisters all result in hypo pigmentation. If an existing scar is white in color and shows no signs of hyperpigmentation, our skilled technicians can add pigment that is matched specifically to your skin tone and “:permanently” camouflages existing scars so that they are not as visible. This is done by artistically blending color to match the surrounding skin tones. Micropigmentation for hypo pigmented scars will not “cure” the scar but paramedical tattooing will ensure that the scars are no longer obvious. Clients report that the procedure is not painful. Patients who have undergone the procedure exude more confidence, better self-esteem, and are even happier with their appearance.
Medical tattooing for mastectomy patients where we create a three dimensional nipple areola complex is often covered by traditional insurance. The Sauler Institute artists are experts in the field completing the reconstructed breast with natural looking 3D areola complex/ nipple through artistry of line definition and shadowing. Mandy Sauler and her team, a nationally recognized certified trainer with the SPCP teaches medical tattooing at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, Samuel Abramson Breast Center.
