Does anyone have some suggestions?
As a cosmetic surgery professional in Canada, I can provide some insight into the pain associated with microblading procedures. Microblading is a form of semi-permanent makeup that involves the application of pigment to the skin using fine, hair-like strokes to create the appearance of fuller, more defined eyebrows.
The level of pain experienced during a microblading procedure can vary depending on several factors, including an individual's pain tolerance, the skill and technique of the technician, and the specific area being treated. In general, microblading is considered a relatively low-pain procedure when compared to other cosmetic treatments, such as laser hair removal or injectable fillers.
The procedure involves the use of a handheld tool with tiny needles that gently implant pigment into the upper layers of the skin. While the sensation can be described as a mild scratching or stinging feeling, most clients report that the discomfort is manageable and tolerable. The pain is often described as similar to the sensation of having your eyebrows threaded or plucked.
To help minimize discomfort during the procedure, most microblading technicians will apply a topical numbing cream or gel to the treatment area prior to the procedure. This helps to desensitize the skin and reduce the overall sensation of the needles. Additionally, the technician may periodically pause the procedure to allow the client to take breaks and manage any discomfort.
It's important to note that the level of pain experienced can also be influenced by the individual's pain threshold, as well as the specific technique and depth of the microblading strokes. Clients with a lower pain tolerance may find the procedure to be more uncomfortable, while those with a higher tolerance may experience only mild discomfort.
In terms of post-procedure pain, most clients report minimal discomfort in the hours and days following the treatment. The area may feel slightly tender or swollen, but this typically subsides within a few days. To help alleviate any discomfort, clients are often advised to apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to the treated area and to avoid activities that may irritate the skin, such as excessive sun exposure or strenuous exercise.
Overall, while microblading may not be entirely pain-free, the discomfort is generally manageable for most clients. By working with a skilled and experienced microblading technician, and following proper aftercare instructions, the majority of clients in Canada can expect a relatively comfortable and satisfactory microblading experience.
