Microblading is a new technique in the field of permanent cosmetics for eyebrow restoration. Currently, it is one of the most sort after treatment in aesthetic procedures due to the curiosity and awareness raised by social media. Microblading is a form of superficial micropigmentation, wherein pigment is deposited till the papillary dermis, with the help of a manual device and a blade consisting of stacked needles. The resultant crisp, discrete hair like incisions simulate the eyebrow hair to give a natural look. The results are semi-permanent and last only 12-18 months. In the recent years, with the advancement in the instrumentation of microblading there have been several modifications in this procedure. Microblading has now found its applications not only in cosmetic treatments but also in dermatological conditions such as alopecia totalis, hypothyroidism, chemotherapy induced madarosis etc. It is a vital tool in any dermatology or cosmetic practise for its extensive applications. But with the rise in popularity of microblading, there is also a rise of untrained professionals performing it leading to a rise in its side-effects. This article aims at not only guiding on the instrumentation and procedure of microblading but also its pre and post procedure care, interaction with other aesthetic procedures and treating its complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/idoj.idoj_230_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]],"date-time":"2021-11-16T09:15:00Z","timestamp":1637054100000},"page":"6-11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Microblading and the Science Behind it"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Manjot Kaur","family":"Marwah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amit S.","family":"Kerure","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gurjot S.","family":"Marwah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-2-20240828","first-page":"e101833","article-title":"Ancient roots of microblading- A permanent makeup art","volume":"6","author":"Zhitny","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Skin Stem Cell"},{"key":"R2-2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"928","DOI":"10.1097\/00042728-200508000-00007","article-title":"Micropigmentation: Tattooing for medical purposes","volume":"31","author":"Garg","year":"2005","journal-title":"Dermatol Surg"},{"key":"R3-2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"617","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.1998.00540.x","article-title":"Dermatography as a new treatment for alopecia areata of the eyebrows","volume":"37","author":"Van der Velden","year":"1998","journal-title":"Int J Dermatol"},{"key":"R4-2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fsc.2010.04.002","article-title":"The brow and forehead in periocular rejuvenation","volume":"18","author":"Hetzler","year":"2010","journal-title":"Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am"},{"key":"R5-2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"615","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e3181addc98","article-title":"Eyebrow and eyelid dimensions: An anthropometric analysis of African Americans and Caucasians","volume":"124","author":"Price","year":"2009","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"key":"R6-2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"464","DOI":"10.1111\/exd.12178","article-title":"Black tattoo inks induce reactive oxygen species production correlating with aggregation of pigment nanoparticles and product brand but not with the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content","volume":"22","author":"H\u00f8gsberg","year":"2013","journal-title":"Exp Dermatol"},{"key":"R9-2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"488","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciq191","article-title":"Outbreak of mycobacterium haemophilum infections after permanent makeup of the eyebrows","volume":"52","author":"Giulieri","year":"2011","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"R10-2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fsc.2012.02.009","article-title":"Latest innovations for tattoo and permanent makeup removal","volume":"20","author":"Mao","year":"2012","journal-title":"Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am"}],"container-title":["Indian Dermatology Online Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/idoj.IDOJ_230_20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T19:13:06Z","timestamp":1787166786000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/idoj.IDOJ_230_20"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/idoj.idoj_230_20","relation":{},"ISSN":["2229-5178"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2229-5178","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]}}}
