Can microblading not work for certain people?

Question

I'm interested in microblading as want my eyebrows to look thicker, especially at the tail ends. Been doing some research and some people have found that even after their touch up, most of the colour goes. Also, I read from one place that does this treatment, that some people's skin just doesn't retain the product/colour. I don't want to spend money and end up with no improvement or patchy eyebrows. Could anyone help me with these concerns? Thank you.

Hello and thank you for your question.
When done correctly the pigment will be deposited and can last up to 3 years. I would recommend doing your research for an experienced professional in your area that has recommendations from clients who had their microblading done. Training and experience is a must for all cosmetic tattooing procedures.
The pigments that are used are very important. Cosmetic pigments are semi permanent pigments that are modified to each clients skin tone. 
Hope this helps!

Microblading is a type of tattoo and uses tattoo pigments which vary radically between providers. What you are reporting is a combination of both inexperienced providers who use pigments that don't last. We have been doing microblading as part of our Scalp Micropigmentation process and we use highly specialized organic pigments that solve the problem in our hands
