Solution Overview

Problem

The quality of microblading services varies significantly due to reliance on manual techniques and inadequate training, leading to inconsistent results, as there are no standardized methods for ensuring accuracy and consistency in semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing.

Innovation Solution

A semi-permanent makeup system that utilizes a server and computer program with a client database, makeup simulation unit, and data control unit to create a three-dimensional client face model, allowing users to simulate and select eyebrow designs, colors, and styles, and helps technicians create accurate stencils and analyze results for improved precision and consistency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual microblading techniques are used by technicians, then the service can be performed with simple equipment, but the quality and consistency of results vary significantly due to reliance on handwork and inadequate training

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemicroblading precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses 3D facial imaging to create a digital copy of the client's face, allowing the design to be visualized, approved, and transferred as a precise stencil before the actual microblading procedure. This eliminates variability in the design phase and ensures consistency between client expectations and final results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by capturing the client's face in 3D, simulating the eyebrow design digitally, and creating a physical stencil before the microblading procedure begins. This preliminary visualization and transfer process ensures precision is established before the manual microblading work commences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If technicians rely on manual skills and short-term training, then the service can be delivered quickly with minimal training requirements, but the quality control and standardization are inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice delivery speedVSAvoidquality consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides immediate visual feedback to clients through 3D imaging and digital simulation, allowing them to see and approve the design before it is permanently applied. This feedback loop ensures client satisfaction and reduces the need for corrective work, maintaining both speed and quality consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

By performing the design visualization and client approval process in advance through digital simulation, the system eliminates variability in the design phase. The pre-approved design is then transferred as a stencil, ensuring that every procedure starts with a standardized, client-approved plan regardless of the technician's skill level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If traditional manual microblading methods are used, then the equipment and process remain simple, but there is no ability to visualize or simulate the final result before application

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign visualization accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a digital 3D copy of the client's face and uses this copy to simulate the eyebrow design from multiple angles and in different lighting conditions. This virtual copy allows complete visualization of the final result without adding complexity to the actual microblading equipment or procedure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A semi-permanent makeup system includes a client database, a makeup simulation unit, and a data control unit. The semi-permanent makeup system is useful for allowing users to apply semi-permanent makeup on a three-dimensional client face prior to a procedure, helping technicians accurately create a stencil, comparing results with the three-dimensional client face having the semi-permanent makeup client-user requests applied, and analyzing results prior to touchup procedures.
