Stages of eyebrow semi-permanent makeup session:

1. Photos before the session
2. Skin disinfection
3. Shape determination using a special compass, according to the anatomy and symmetry of each face.
4. Color determination
5. Digital measurement of eyebrow symmetry with a special application
6. Application of semi-permanent makeup using PMU device or manual microblading device, or a combination of both.
7. Photos of the final result
8. Providing aftercare instructions
9. Scheduling a touch-up session in 1 – 1.5 months.

How many sessions are required for the final result?

1st session: Lasts approximately 2.5 – 4 hours

2nd session (touch-up): Takes place 4-6 weeks later, lasts 1-2 hours

How long does the result of semi-permanent makeup last?

The duration of the result varies from 9 months to 2 years and depends on several factors, such as:

• Skin type:

– On oily skin, the result lasts about 1 year.
– On normal or dry skin, it can last up to 3 years.

• Aftercare – Proper care of the area helps maintain the color.
• The pigments used – The quality and composition of the pigments affect the longevity of the result.
• Exposure to external factors – Sun, facial treatments, and the use of inappropriate products can accelerate the fading of the color.

For a well-maintained result, maintenance is recommended every 1-1.5 years.

What is the PhiBrows method?

The PhiBrows method is a specialized semi-permanent makeup technique based on the Golden Ratio (Φ = 1.618), which is the number of perfect proportions in nature. The shape of the eyebrows is calculated and designed based on the anatomy and symmetry of each face, using the Golden Ratio, and not based on trends.

• The measurement and final design of the eyebrows are done with a special Golden Ratio compass, which can quickly and accurately determine the proportions based on the Phi number.
• The color is determined according to the natural color of the hair and eyebrows.
• Symmetry is determined digitally when the facial muscles are relaxed (i.e., when the client’s eyes are closed).

The method originated from Branko Babić’s PhiAcademy, the oldest and largest microblading school in Europe. The idea of manual eyebrow shaping with Microblading came from Asia, but Branko Babić adapted the original Asian technique to the style of European women.

As semi-permanent makeup methods (micro-pigmentation) have evolved, he also advanced education using digital PMU devices.

At Nefer, eyebrow semi-permanent makeup is done with the following techniques:

• Delphi Brows (Hairstroke Machine PMU Technique) – Digital hair-stroke technique with PMU machine (currently under training)
• Microblading

Both of the above methods can be combined with shading where necessary.

The techniques Delphi Brows (Hairstroke Machine PMU Technique) & Microblading are applied by Kyriaki Maria.

What is Microblading?

Microblading (also known as microstroking or the hand method) is a technique performed manually, using a special “pen” at the tip of which is an attached sterilized blade, allowing the implantation of pigment into the skin through tiny incisions, which enables us to draw very fine hair strokes. The blade “glides” lightly over the skin, making shallow, fine cuts while simultaneously implanting the pigment.

Advantages of Microblading/PhiBrows:

• Very natural result
• Ideal for those who want to fill gaps or reshape their eyebrows
• Perfectly mimics the appearance of natural hair

What is Delphi Brows (Hairstroke Machine PMU Technique)?

Delphi Brows is a technique that uses a digital semi-permanent makeup (PMU) device and a special needle to create fine and natural hair strokes.

Advantages of Delphi Brows technique:

• Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin
• The pigment is implanted more evenly and diffuses less under the skin over time (when done correctly and using the appropriate pigments for each skin type)

What are the differences between Microblading and Delphi Brows (Hairstroke Machine PMU Technique)?

No, more superficial (better for delicate skin types)Yes, better retention for oily skin

Aftercare for Microblading and Delphi Brows:

• Keep the treated area clean and dry during the healing process (usually 7-14 days).
• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for the first few weeks after the procedure.
• Avoid swimming, saunas, or heavy sweating for at least 7 days.
• Do not pick at or scratch the treated area, as it can affect the healing process.
• Use a gentle moisturizer or ointment as advised by your technician to prevent dryness and scabbing.
• Avoid makeup on the eyebrows for the first few days after the procedure.
• Follow the technician’s aftercare instructions for optimal healing and results.
