What is Microblading Beard and Mustache?
This cosmetic tattoo procedure allows the artist to enhance facial hair of men by filling in any patches in the beard and mustache area. Microblading can also modify the shape, color and give a fuller look to the areas. Likewise, if there are scars that need to be covered, this treatment allows for seamless blending.
The final results look natural and can last for a few years.
What is Microblading?
A form of permanent makeup, microblading is a popular option to get natural looking brows with an enhanced look. The procedure is done by making small incisions in the second layer of the skin to mimic hair strokes. A special pigment is deposited into the scratches and can last up to 3 years with proper care.
Touch up appointments are necessary to maintain the quality of the brows and are recommended to be booked at least once a year.
Who Is Beard Microblading For?
This procedure is suitable for men who like having a beard or stubble look. It also works for clients with sparse patches, thin hair or those who want symmetry in the beard or mustache area.
The area connecting the mustache to the beard is a common focus of bear microblading since the hair is often thin and sparse. Microblading can enhance the connection and provide a better overall look. Beard Microblading is also a great option for clients who want scars covered up or who are in situations that make them unable to grow facial hair such as alopecia or getting chemotherapy or those transitioning from female to male.
Hot tip:
The results of microblading procedures don’t last forever since the pigment fades in time, so shaving off the hair will reveal the treatment done. Make sure you commit to having a beard for until the pigment fades which is about 2 to 3 years.
How Is Microblading Facial Hair Done?
The procedure is generally similar with any microblading treatment and starts with preparing the pigment to match the color of the natural hairs. These permanent makeup pigments are deposited into tiny incisions created with a manual tool that mimic natural hair strokes.
A touch up procedure after the healing process is the second part of any microblading procedure. This allows the artist to fix any imperfections and fill in any gaps in the treatment area.
There are two styles of beard microblading. Read more about them below:
- Longer Beard Microblading
- For men with longer facial hair in the beard area, it can be difficult to get the volume they want or to grow hair without sparse patches.
To deal with these concerns, the microblading artist creates longer strokes to imitate the look and color of the natural hairs. They fill in the gaps with more saturation and add volume by creating more strokes all over the jaw and cheek area.
Stubble Beard Microblading
Microblading can recreate the stubble look that some men opt for rather than full length beards. The pigments are injected in dots and not strokes similar to scalp micropigmentation. The shades of color most recommended for this style is ashy tone than browns resembling the color of natural hair just emerging.
Also called beard micropigmentation, this procedure works well in camouflaging scars in the treatment area. It can also cover the whole area for clients who want the look of facial hair.
Is Beard Microblading Actually a Beard Tattoo?
Similar to tattoos, beard microblading enhances the natural features of the face but it is also more modern. Pigments used in this procedure are inserted into the second layer of the skin and get broken down by the body unlike for traditional tattoos.
How Long Do the Results of Mustache and Beard Microblading Last?
The results of beard and mustache microblading can last to around 2 years but it depends on different factors such as aftercare, lifestyle and even skin type. Each person absorbs pigments at their own rate.
To help your treatment last as long as possible, it is crucial to follow the aftercare instructions of your artist. There are also activities and products that can speed up fading so it is important to be aware of them and avoid them.
Touch up appointments allow the artist to boost the color and maintain the quality of the initial microblading procedure.
How Long Does the Beard Microblading Appointment Take?
The length of time needed in the appointment depends on how much work the artist needs to do.
To prepare, the client needs to look at the area, make outlines, mix the pigments and do the procedure as best as they can. An hour is usually enough for smaller corrections but more work can need up to 3 hours such as filling in big gaps or creating the look of stubble in the beard area.
Top up appointments are needed much sooner for bigger treatment areas as soon as 6 weeks after the first booking. This appointment takes up much less time than the first one.
What Is the Cost of Microblading Beard and Mustache?
There are many factors that can affect the price of the procedure such as the artist and the amount of work that needs to be covered. Smaller pieces of work usually start at $200 but bigger procedures can cost up to $600. It is important to talk to your artist and find out their rates and if they charge per hour.
It is helpful to book a consultation with the artist for them to take a look at the work that needs to be done. Some artists give special prices if the client wants to add brow microblading for men to their beard and mustache procedures.
How Do I Choose an Artist for Beard Microblading?
