FAQS

There is no downtime, however the brow will take about 14 days to fully heal. The brow will soften in color by up to 30-40%. During this period, after-care procedures should be carefully followed.

The follow up appointment is part of the actual procedure. During your 6 week follow up we will analyze how the color regenerates beneath the skin and modify areas that may have healed incorrectly. Follow ups are beneficial for color restoration, shape correction, and/or any fine tuning the client desires.

The level of discomfort is relatively minor. Most people report the experience to be similar in pain to tweezing. A topical anesthetic is used to numb the area throughout the entire procedure. Slight redness in the area is common after the procedure. Other factors such as menstrual cycles also affect level of sensitivity.

Microblading lasts 8-14 months, depending on skin type; as well as, the age of the client. It is not permanent like a traditional tattoo, as the pigments are not implanted very deeply into the skin. This also depends on the individual’s lifestyle and other factors such as after care, the use of anti aging creams, and sun exposure. Individuals with oily skin might not retain the color as long and the healing results may be softer.

It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated.

Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure:

• Do not pluck/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure
• Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face
• Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure
• Do not work out the day of the procedure
• Do not have botox or chemical peel 4 weeks prior to the procedure
• Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)
• Do not tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

• Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your procedure
• Do not consume coffee before your procedure
• Do not take Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief (or ANY blood thinners) prior to procedure

All pigments used are cosmetic grade, meaning that they are sterilized and purified for cosmetic use. The ingredients used have been approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. Be wary of products that have not met safety standards, including those that contain “vegetable dyes” that are unstable and may change color after time. In addition, tools are single-use and discarded after the treatment.
