0:00.0	Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, and it's time for a
0:21.6	five-minute Friday. This week's Five-Minute Friday is all about the brows, microblading,
0:28.5	and the eyebrows. And the brows are one of the most important architectural features of the face.
0:35.8	And microblading is such a popular technique. I have got so many questions
0:41.6	from patients about when to do their toxin treatments relative to their microblading treatments.
0:47.7	And I think that it's such an important topic I wanted to dive right in and learn more myself.
0:53.4	I'm even thinking of microblading. Some of the
0:56.0	work that I see with microblading is beautiful. It's feathery, light strokes. It looks like
1:01.7	real natural hair. But microblading really is eyebrow architecture. You have to see someone who's
1:09.8	genuinely an artist who can create the best shape for
1:13.2	your face and it really is customized. The approach is very, very precise. Microblading is not like
1:21.9	the old school big black apostrophe above the eyelid. That is tattoo. Brow tattoo is old school. New school is
1:31.5	microblading. They're using a very precise tool. It's effectively like a pen with a little nib and a
1:37.9	sloped blade with 10 to 12 needles at the end. They don't penetrate the skin fully. They scratch the surface of the skin much like a very
1:45.8	deep paper cut. So these kind of feather wake strokes with medical grade pigment on the
1:50.9	epidermis of the skin creates a very fine and realistic looking natural hair stroke. Tattooing of the
2:00.0	brows is deep into the skin. This is into the dermis,
2:04.9	just like a regular tattoo on your arm or your leg. This microblading is more superficial.
2:10.8	It's also not permanent like tattooing. And the color fades within 18 months. The hairstrokes are
2:17.2	really fine and really natural.
2:19.3	And there is no electrical gadget like a tattoo needle that penetrates deep into the skin with that buzzing noise.
2:26.3	This is more of a little scratching etching noise. And when we treat people with microblading, it's important that your microblade artist looks at your hair color, your eye color, your skin tone.
