DO YOU HAVE A PREEXISTING BROW TATTOO?I

If you have participated in a brow procedure in the past, there are a few important concerns to keep in mind. SCAR TISSUE: If the past procedure has created subsurface scarring, there is a chance that your skin may not retain the pigment to it's potential.  DISCOLORED PIGMENTS: If the pigment has left behind a reddish or greenish tint, the new procedure may not be able to fully conceal the color.  UNEVEN BROWS: If the past procedure was done uneven, depending on how much they have faded, it may be difficult to reshape. 

​

THIN SKIN WARNING

Unfortunately, if you have exceptionally thin skin, you may not be a very good candidate for microblading portion of this procedure. In order to acheive the best results, the dermis (surface) layer of the skin needs to be thick enough to hold pigment. This layer of the skin tends to thin as we age. If microbladed, there is a great possibility that the penetration of the epidermis (under surface) may be deeper than intended, resulting in a dark grey pigment color. If you think you bare thin skin, a consultation is highly suggested before booking an appointment.

​

CONSULTATION

A consultation takes place before every procedure. The consultation includes a brief discussion of the procedure along with mapping of the eyebrows. Eyebrows differ in many ways; shape, hair growth direction, fullness, and sparsity. Client preference is just as important as a professional opinion. Both will be taken into consideration when deciding on the final brow shape. And questions or concerns should be brought up at this time.

​

PRE CARE

What to do and what to avoid before your procedure to increase that chances of favorable results.

Wash your hair before your appointment as you will need to avoid saturating your brows in water several days after the procedure. 

24 hours before procedure: No alcohol, caffeine, or any blood thinning medications.

​

MULTI PASS PROCEDURE 

When the shape of the eyebrows has been agreed upon, procedure begins. The outline of your brows along with the first stroke pass will be applied WITHOUT prenumbing.  A numbing gel is applied immediately after. Thereafter, few passes are then performed to to build a powdery effect with the pigment. Entire procedure will take approximately 60-90 minutes.

​

NUMBING

Pre procedure numbing may result in poor pigment absorption and retention due to the skin's response towards numbing cream. Therefore is not recommended. Omitting the pre procedure numbing cream will increase the chances of achieving cleaner strokes and desired results. An analgesic gel is always applied before the outline of the brow for client comfort. A fully painless experience cannot be guaranteed due to the difference in pain tolerance and analgesic response by each client.

​

AFTER CARE

Successful combo brow results depend on post-treatment care. Conscientiously cleansing and balm application as prescribed is crucial. An after care kit and instructions flyer will be provided to you in order to properly care for your brows. Things to avoid until *healed: Touching brows with bare fingers, stretching the skin, picking at flakes, saturating your brows with water, beauty products on and above the brows, direct sunlight, sweating, and antibiotics. *You are healed when all the flakes have shed from your brows. You will then be able to saturate your brows with water, sweat, discontinue wipes and balm. 

​

HEALING Experiences will vary by each client.

Day 2-5 Brows will appear very bold and dark.  The skin’s natural healing response is to push the pigment (a foreign object) out to the surface. You may experience itching. Refrain from any scratching. 

Day 5-10 Brows may start to flake, resembling dandruff. Do not scratch or peel them off. Let flakes fall off on its own. This is the skin’s process of renewal. You will notice some pigment color on flakes as they shed. 

Day 10-15 Brows may appear faint after the shedding period. The skin has healed itself and any pigment left of the surface is now gone. Do not worry, be patient. The pigment color beneath your skin now needs to make its way to the surface.  

Day 15-30 Brows will start to reappear and look soft and powdery with complimenting hair like stokes.

​

RESULTS

Results highly depend on skin type, environment, and procedure after care.

We cannot know the true results until the brows have fully healed. The skin will either retain the pigment or reject it. It is at your conscience decision to participate in a combo brow procedure. This is a nonrefundable service.

​

LONGEVITY

Combo' brows can last up to one year.

Life of brows vary by client skin retention and surrounding environment. Things to avoid to maintain the life of brows: skin care products with skin lightening ingredients, exfoliated scrubs and masks on brow area, prescription acne medication around brow area, sun exposure, and constant rubbing.
