What to expect from your brow appointment:

• The brow procedure requires twos sessions. Please keep in mind that everyone’s skin is different and this could vary per client. For best results, clients will be required to return for one re-touch appointment. This will take place between 6-12 weeks after the first procedure.

• Please be aware that for some people the color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper immediately after the procedure. This will reduce by 30%-40% as the brows heal and fade.

• Your new eyebrows should last 1-3 years depending on the persons skin.

• I CANNOT guarantee that there won’t be some discomfort. Some people numb up better than others depending on their skin. Most people say they don’t feel much and that it’s very tolerable. This also depends on an individual’s pain tolerance.

• Right after the procedure, the brow area can be tender and feel similar to that of a sunburn. Some are red around the brow and some are not. The area may also look a little puffy or slightly swollen on some, but not on everyone.

Factors that can affect your new brows:

• SMOKING: Smokers may notice that their eyebrows will fade faster.

• ANEMIA AND IRON DEFICIENCY: Your body will absorb these iron based pigments more quickly.

• SUN EXPOSURE: Increased exposure to the sun will cause premature fading. You will want to use a special sunscreen for your tattooed eyebrows; I recommend color guard. You can find it on Amazon.

• 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 my control, it is important that you follow before care instructions to help minimize bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinning medications, alcohol, and caffeine 24 hours before your procedure.

Before procedure instructions:

• Discontinue use of any anti-aging products that contain retinol at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

• Chemical, laser peels or Retin-A should not be utilized 6 weeks before the procedure.

• Discontinue use of Vitamin A or Fish Oil supplements about 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

• AHA preparations should be undergone no less than 2 weeks before the treatment.

• Electrolysis treatment should be undergone no less that 5 days before the treatment.

• Any brow shaping using waxing or tweezing should be performed at least 48 hours before the treatment.

• Please do not drink alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment.

• No aspirin or ibuprofen or anything containing aspirin at least 72 hours prior to your appointment.

• Please do not drink caffeine the morning or day of your appointment.

• No botox 2 weeks before or after

• Make sure face isn’t burnt or peeling

• Should not be on antibiotics during the time of appointment

• Avoid exercise right before appointment! Exercising increases blood flow and will cause excessive bleeding, leading to poor healed results.

Wait to schedule your brow appointment if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding (No Exceptions)

• You are currently using any acne medication (for example, Retin-A or Accutane)

• Undergoing Chemo or another major health therapy as certain meds may affect healing/results (I recommend discussing this procedure with your doctor as some will give the OK depending on your situation. I will need a permission note from the doctor)

• Diabetic (Doctor’s note required)

• Are on prescribed blood thinners or prescribed an aspirin once a day (Would need a note from your Doctor saying you’re OK to go off the blood thinners or aspirin 7 days before each session)

• Exceptions can be made if a legitimate Doctor’s note is provided.

• Those with serious heart disorders, blood infections, HIV, Hepatitis or liver disease are not candidates for this procedure.

• If you’ve had your brows tattooed/microbladed previously and want them done again they need to be significantly faded (70%) I will need pictures or to be seen in person before booking your appointment.

After your brow appointment:

An allergic reaction can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure. Although this is rare, if you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately. Allergic reaction response may show through redness, swelling, rash, blistering, dryness or any other symptoms associated with an allergic reaction.

• You might find that your eyebrows will scab or become slightly dry following your brow treatment. If they itch, it’s very important that you do not scratch them. To relieve the itch, just tap them with your fingers.

• If your eyebrows get wet during the healing process, pat them dry with a towel. It’s very important that you do not rub them.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure as this can affect the healing process as well as cause the pigment to fade.

• Avoid submerging them in water for 14 days post procedure.

• Avoid exercising durning your healing processes.

Upcoming medical procedures:

• If you are due to or are having an MRI scan, please inform your doctor that you have had your brows done.

• If you are planning a chemical peel or any other medical procedure, please inform the therapist of the brow procedure you had. A new peel or medical procedure should only be done once the healing process is complete.

While healing:

An allergic reaction can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure. Although this is rare, if you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately. Allergic reaction response may show through redness, swelling, rash, blistering, dryness or any other symptoms associated with an allergic reaction.
