Before Your Appointment
Pre-Appointment Restrictions
The following restrictions ensure your skin is in the best possible condition for an amazing procedure.
Please read carefully:
– Please do not work out on the day of the procedure as body heat expands the pores.
– Avoid heavy sunlight and especially sunburn three days before the procedure. The skin should not be in the process of healing before the procedure.
– Do NOT drink coffee or anything with caffeine the day of the procedure.
– Do NOT take Fish oil, Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Ibuprofen, and omega-3, unless medically necessary, for 48-72 hours before the procedure (Tylenol or acetaminophen is okay!). They are natural blood thinners.
– Do NOT drink alcohol for 24 hours before or after the procedure.
– Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure. Any tweezing or waxing should be done at least 72 hours before the procedure.
– Do not have any type of facial procedure for two weeks before the procedure.
– Do not have Botox 2-4 weeks before the procedure.
Pre-Appointment Preparation
It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. Here is how to get your skin ready for the procedure:
• Exfoliate your brow area the night before your appointment to remove any dead skin which will help pigment retention.
• Any tweezing, tinting or waxing should be done at least 72 hours prior to the procedure otherwise your artist can remove any excess hair with a razor on the day.
• You will be required to keep your eyebrows dry for 7 days after the procedure so we recommend washing your hair before or the day of your procedure.
Immediately Post Procedure
After the procedure, gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for 30 minutes until the oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents the hardening of the lymphatic fluids.
What to Expect
The following are only guidelines regarding what to expect during the initial stages of your permanent makeup healing and stabilizing period. Remember that everyone heals at a different rate, and individual skin tones and ability to absorb pigment can vary greatly. Some of the most common things you can expect after a permanent make up procedure are:
• Tenderness in the area
• Pink or redness around the affected area
• Swelling
• Thickening and darkening of the area
• Moderate to thick scabbing 3-4 days after the procedure
• Scabs will begin to flake off anytime between days 5 – 10
• After scabs flake off, pigment colour and strokes will look light, grey, and blurry
• After area is fully healed (4 weeks after procedure) the pigment will return to full colour
Important Reminders
– Use a fresh pillowcase when you sleep.
– Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of colour.
– No facials, Botox, chemical treatments, or microdermabrasion for four weeks.
– Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week.
– Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for four weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors.
– Avoid long, hot showers for the first ten days.
– Avoid sleeping on your face for the first ten days.
– Avoid face-down swimming, lakes, and hot tubs for the first ten days.
– Avoid topical makeup and sunscreen on the area.
– DO NOT rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.
– Limit your showers to 5 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Also, keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body.
– A touch-up procedure is recommended 6-12 weeks after the initial treatment.
Thank you
Q&As
Will it hurt ?
No, Sally will be using a pre purchased powerful numbing agent to numb the area before the procedure and also throughout.
How long will the eyebrows last?
Eighteen months to three years. Remembering everyone is different. The way that your individual skin takes the colour and heals over time really depends on your lifestyle and the kind of skin you have. It also depends a lot on how you take care of your new eyebrows. Following the after care procedure that Sally will provide to you at your consultation, also found here on the website, in the days and weeks and even months after the consultation, will be a key factor in your brows looking crisp and beautiful for longer. The after care info is also available by clicking the NEW CLIENT link.
What’s the Difference Between Eyebrow Tattoos and Microblading?
The term ‘eyebrow tattoos’ often encompasses a range of semi-permanent eyebrow techniques, including microblading. While traditional eyebrow tattooing uses a machine to insert pigment deeper into the skin for a lasting and defined look, it can sometimes appear less natural.
Microblading, a popular form of semi-permanent tattooing, utilises a manual tool to create fine, hair-like strokes that replicate the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs, resulting in a softer and more natural look. The key difference lies in the application technique and the longevity of the results; traditional tattoos offer a more permanent solution, whereas microblading is celebrated for its semi-permanent nature, blending artistry with subtlety to enhance your natural beauty.
How do I ensure I get the eyebrows I want ?
Sally loves it if you supply her with key visual information in the way of example images that might better describe your wants and goals. Bring the colour you want in way of the pencil you use or again supply images to communicate your ideals. You can bring as many pictures to the session or send them before hand. She is open to your every request when it comes to colour, shape and overall design. After all, it is your face.
Q&A
Are Eyebrow Tattoos Permanent?
Eyebrow tattoos are considered permanent because the pigment is inserted deeper into the skin compared to microblading. However, they can fade over time, and the colour may shift, necessitating touch-ups to keep the brows looking their best.
Can Eyebrow Tattoos Be Corrected?
Eyebrow tattoos can be corrected or adjusted in most cases, depending on the initial result and how much fading has occurred. Correction may involve shape adjustment, colour correction, or density enhancement. A consultation with a qualified specialist is necessary to determine the best approach.
Can Eyebrow Tattoos Be Removed?
Yes, eyebrow tattoos can be removed, typically through laser tattoo removal treatments. The process may require several sessions to achieve desired results and should be performed by a qualified professional to minimise risks.
Can Eyebrow Tattoos Cause Hair Loss?
There’s no evidence to suggest that eyebrow tattooing causes hair loss. The procedure targets the skin beneath the brow hairs and does not typically damage hair follicles. Any hair loss experienced is likely due to other factors.
