First thing we recommend is to go ahead and book your Perfection Session 6-weeks from your initial appointment. This ensures you get in for you second session at an appropriate time. If you wait until the day of your appointment to book your touch up you may not get it within the 6-10 complimentary touch up window. After 10 weeks it is considered a 3-6 month touch up and there is a fee.

Instructions:

• It’s important to avoid alcohol, caffeine and aspirin, ibuprofen, turmeric, fish oil, and other blood thinners 48 prior to your Microblading appointment.
• Discontinue use of any skin thinners like Vitamin A and glycol acids two weeks before your appointment.
• Do not tweeze or wax your brows 24 hours prior to the procedure.
• Do not dye your brows within 48 hours of the procedure.
• Do not tan and limit sun exposure prior to your procedure.
• Do not exercise the day of your procedure.
• Cosmetic Botox or fillers should be done 2 weeks in advance.

This is a complex and precision service the results of which can be adversely impacted by a failure to follow these instructions.

We will not be able to tattoo over any blemishes, sores, and moles in or around the brow area.

Come to your appointment with your brows drawn on how you like them to look. This helps in our conversations regarding your design. Bringing photos of brows you like helps as well!

For clients who have had chemotherapy, you must wait at least 6 months since your last treatment before getting microblading. That gives your skin and your immune system the proper amount of time to heal.

The big day is finally here! You’ve followed your Pre-Appointment Instructions provided online and in your email. Expect to be at the salon for two to three hours.

• We’ll start with a consultation, measure for symmetry and shape (an intensive and incredibly detailed process that insures brow perfection), map out your brow design before selecting and/or mixing the perfect color shade(s).
• Apply topical anesthetic (5% lidocaine cream) and wait approximately 20 minutes to make you as comfortable as possible. We’ll also be applying a secondary numbing agent throughout the procedure to enhance the effects.
• Time to microblade! Your individually-chosen pigment color will be implanted in the top dermal layer to create hair like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural brow hair and create the brow shape you’ve agreed upon.
• The service is complete! You can expect some minimal redness around your brow but can return to work immediately after the procedure.
• This redness will subside over the next few hours. As the numbing agents wear off, you can expect to experience slight discomfort. Most describe it as a sunburn sensation.
• Immediately after the service your brows will appear crisp and dark, do not be alarmed, they will fade significantly over a two-week period creating a very natural look.

Wow! How about all those compliments on your new brows?! Guess what? It only gets better. As your skin begins to heal and the scabbing subsides you will see lighter and softer feather strokes.

It takes about 2 weeks for the superficial layers of skin to close and heal. Deeper dermal layers of the skin will take up to 6 weeks to fully heal. This is why we’d like to see you again for your Complimentary Touch-Up ‘Perfection Session’ after it has been 6 weeks since your initial service. Please note: If you do not have your Perfection Session within 10 weeks of your initial appointment, it will be considered a Touch-Up Session and the associated service fee will apply. If you are having trouble finding time on our schedule, please call us.

Results will vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, and the immediate and your adherence to the prescribed long term aftercare. Those with oily skin types may have strokes that heal softer while drier skin types may heal crisper and more defined. Proper after care is CRUCIAL to ensure your best possible results. It is very important to follow these instructions for the full 10-day healing period to ensure proper healing and color retention.

• For 10 days after your Microblading service, take care when showering being sure to avoid direct contact with your brows and the shower stream. You’ll want to be sure to have makeup cleaning pads on hand during this time.
• On the first day after Microblading, clean your eyebrows with distilled water on cotton pad gently and apply aftercare cream every four hours.
• For the next two weeks avoid saunas, pools, hot tubs, steam rooms and sweating. It is recommended you take 10 days off from working out for optimal results.
• Avoid the sun for the next two weeks. Excessive UV exposure will alter the pigment of your tattoo. This includes tanning beds.
• DO NOT use light therapy on your brow tattoo. This can darken, lighten, and distort the pigment.
• DO NOT use Vaseline or Neosporin on your tattoo.
• DO not use exfoliants, retinol acids, or AHAs on the area for 30 days after the appointment. It will fade your tattoo prematurely.
• DO NOT get massages, facials, mcironeedling or skin treatments during the healing process.
• Wait two weeks before doing any waxing or tinting.
• Treat the brows like a wound and keep them dry and clean! Do not scratch or pick and if you must touch your brows make sure your hands are clean.

Take care of those brows and we’ll see you at your Perfection Session!

Allow 10-14 days for brows to heal. During this time you can totally go to work and be in public but it is not recommended that you plan any special events or photo shoots.

• Day of your brow appointment your brows may look a little red or swollen. This is totally normal and usually subsides within an hour or two. The strokes will appear very crisp and well defined.
• Days 2-4 the pigment oxidizes and the color becomes darker. The brows often look much bolder in this stage. Don’t panic! it is only temporary.
• Days 5-7 The brows will start to lightly scab. Do not pick or scratch. The longer the scabs stay intact, the better your results will be.
• Days 8-14 Once the scabs have all come off the brows may appear dull or faded. New skin has formed covering the pigment. Over the next 2 weeks the strokes will come back crisper and darker. You may notice some strokes missing or unevenness. This is totally normal and we will go over the strokes at the perfecting touch-up session to reinforce them.
• After the perfecting touch-up – you will go through all the post procedure healing stages all over again and your brows will stunning for one to three years (depending on your skin type and lifestyle)!
