This is the process of infusing pigment into the skin to simulate the appearance of natural hair. It is considered a tattoo and permanent makeup. Although it is considered permanent makeup it does fade over time. Touch ups are suggested once a year in order to keep the color and shape fresh and precise.
Microblading is meant to be a subtle, natural enhancement, and to create fuller, more beautiful brows. It looks most natural on clients who already have semi-full brow hair and are wanting to perfect their shape. The more hair you have, the more natural it will appear.
Microblading heals best on young, healthy and dry/normal skin.
Oily skin and mature/thin skin is not recommended for microblading. Results will not heal as crisp or look as natural. If you are in this category, you will be a better candidate for the combination, powderfill or ombre brow.
I recommend scheduling your perfecting touch up at the same time as booking your initial appointment. Your touch up appointment can be anywhere between 6-10 weeks after your inital appointment. The touch up cost is not included in the initial price.
In the hours following your procedure your brows will appear much darker and bolder than it will heal due to the oxidation in the surface layer of your skin. Your bows could also appear warmer in color. You may experience some redness or swelling around the treated area, this typically disappears within 48 hours.
Around day 3 you may notice some flaking or light scabbing on the treated area. Do NOT pick at it. Doing so can result in pigment loss in those areas. Your brows may appear spotty or patchy until the entire brow has finished healing. You may notice that some areas may appear very light or even to have lost pigment entirely after they have peeled. The epidermis will be thicker causing muting, hiding or diffusing of the pigment underneath. The epidermis will normalize of the next 4-6 weeks and softened pigment should appear more clearly on the surface of the skin.
At 4-6 weeks your brows will be fully healed. Whatever pigment that does not return will be addressed at the perfecting touch up appointment or if you'd prefer darker, bolder brows we can always add more color or dimension during that appointment!
I prefer cash, Squar, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle or Card.
This is the process of infusing pigment into the skin by using a permanent makeup machine or needles to simulate the appearance of filled in brows. This is perfect for clients who are perfectionists! Ombre is where the tail and body of the brow are dark and filled in and the color gets lighter towards the front creating a soft powdery makeup look. Combination brow is done with hair strokes at the head of the brow and then the rest filled in. This is a beautiful look for all skin types and heals very soft and beautiful. Powderfill is done the same way as the combination brow but no hair strokes at the front.
Cosmetic tattooing is designed to fade over time. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, and pigment color all affect the longevity of the tattoo. the sun and some kinds of lighting (tanning beds) can affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. To take care of your brows follow the aftercare instructions and touch up your brows every 12-18 months (as needed). Touch ups are normal and expected for permanent cosmetics.
*Please note that final results vary and cannot be guaranteed to to the nature of skin as it heals. A follow-up appointment is recommended at 6-10 weeks where we can assess your pigment retention and make any changes necessary.
Oily skin: Increased oil production can cause hair strokes to bur and heal lighter and powdery.
Smoking: Smokers may notice that their semi-permanent cosmetics will fade faster.
Anemia and iron deficiency: Your body will absorb iron based pigments more quickly.
Sun Exposure: Increase exposure to the sun will cause premature fading. You will want to use a special sunscreen for your semi-permanent cosmetics. I have a brow sunscreen in my shop that you can purchase to protect your brows.
Age and Metabolism: The faster your metabolism the faster the pigment will fade.
Bleeding During the Procedure: Excessive bleeding during your procedure will greatly affect how your body retains pigment. While this is not entirely in our control, it is important that you follow pre-procedure instructions to help minimize bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinning medications, alcohol, and caffeine 24 hours before your procedure.
Topical 5% lidocaine is used to make you comfortable during your semi-permanent cosmetic procedure. However, pain tolerance varied from client to client. Having the procedure during your menstrual cycle may increase your sensitivity.
If you have reference pictures please feel free to bring these to your appointment along with the pencil or powder you are currently using.
If you tint your brows you will want to do so 72 hours before your appointment.
You must NOT use Retin-A near the brow area for 2 weeks before or after the procedure.
You will need to avoid water for 7-10 days after! This includes excessive sweating, pools, lakes, salt water, and extreme sun exposure, so plan your vacations accordingly!
No Botox, fillers, microdermabrasion, chemical peels or anything of the like for at least 2 weeks before and after your procedure.
Doing any of the following will cause excessive bleeding during your procedure and will hinder your final results!!!
If you have specific questions or concerns you are welcome to e-mail or message me through Facebook or Instagram. I book enough time to discuss your needs and wants at the initial appointment. If you are in need of correction work or have had your brows tattooed elsewhere, you will need to send me a photo BEFORE booking. This way we can schedule the adequate amount of time needed.
For best results, I may suggest doing saline removal instead of a color/shape correction.
