precare instructions
BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
Permanent cosmetic enhancements normally require multiple application sessions. To achieve the best results, you will be required to return for a perfecting session 6-10 weeks after the initial application.
Be prepared for the color intensity to be significantly sharper and darker immediately after the procedure. This will subside and become softer as the skin heals. This process can take up to 14 days.
DO NOT take Aspirin, Fish Oil, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary, 72 hrs prior to your procedure. Tylenol is fine.
DO NOT work out 24 hrs prior to your procedure.
AVOID sun and tanning one week prior to your procedure.
Discontinue Glycolics, Retin-A or Retinol products 4 weeks before the scheduled appointment.
DO NOT use AHA skincare products close to the enhancement area 2 weeks prior to and after your procedure.
If you've had any cosmetic surgical procedures done on the face area, please wait TWO MONTHS to fully heal prior to the eyebrow tattoo procedure.
DO NOT consume any alcohol beverages 24 HOURS before the scheduled appointment. This will prevent any excess bleeding, oozing, and minimizes swelling during the procedure.
If there are any open wounds, pimples, bruises, or any other skin irritations on the area; please wait for them to be completely healed before attending the scheduled appointment.
Please contact immediately if rescheduling is necessary due to this matter.
Do not wax, thread or tint your eyebrows one week before your procedure ( I will shave excess hair )
No facials or chemical peels a week prior to the scheduled appointment.
If there are any exfoliation products at home, please use on the brow area a week prior to the appointment for the skin to take in the pigment(s) easily during the procedure.
aftercare instructions
AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE
For the first couple of days, brows will appear dark and very defined before the scabbing phase. The thickness will subside gradually as the days go by.
You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area, this is quite normal and will subside within 12 hours. If you find any lymphatic fluid or blood weeping you can gently clean the area with cool boiled water and gauze, blotting gently dry to remove any moisture.
Redness, swelling, and stinging is normal and should subside by the following day completely.
You will go through three healing phases: 1-heal, 2-peel and 3-fade.
Once the brow area starts to peel, it will appear flaky and unappealing. The area may feel a bit dry. Do not pick or pull at the treated area as it will result in pigment loss
Once all scabs have fully fallen off completely and naturally, healed results should appear 10-30% lighter in color and 10-15% smaller in size from the initial. Consider using a waterproof total sunblock when going out in the sun to stop the color fading.
** NOTE **
Everyone heals and accepts the pigment differently. We provide the same service for every client but retention is dependent on your skin and lifestyle
When you leave the studio your brow tattoos are intact. That is the job of the technician. There ARE NO GUARANTEES made as to how your body will heal them. If they fade, blur or not take good, that is the result of YOUR skin, your lifestyle....not a result of the technique or the technician. NO one knows how the clients skin will heal. This is a potential risk all clients take when consenting to this procedure
If you are out in the sun a lot, have oily skin, use anti-aging creams, retinA/retinol products, acidic cleansers, natural elements, regular chemical peels, or exercise frequently, your permanent makeup WILL fade prematurely. The better you take care of the treated area and follow the provided aftercare, the longer it will last.
THIS IS TYPICALLY A TWO STEP PROCESS: Initial + a perfecting session. While some clients may accept the pigment and heal beautifully without a touch-up, most clients are required to come back for a second session. On some rare cases, a third session may be needed to achieve the desired look
BOOKING YOUR PERFECTING SESSION: This session is a separate fee and not included with the initial session. Because results are unpredictable, it is recommended that you should book your 6-12 weeks touch-up session the same day as you book your initial appointment. This is not required but highly recommended. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BOOK THIS SESSION.
All foreign retouches will be considered as a new set of brows. Please book accordingly.
All results will vary per person depending on their: skin, blood type, lifestyle, existing hair, bone structure, any medications taken and aftercare.
If you have had previous work done by another artist, you MUST get my approval before booking. Please text (530)665-3919 a few clear photos of your full face and eyebrows with no makeup on them, unfiltered, and in natural lighting for review. If you book an appointment without my approval or disclosing previous tattoo work, your deposit will be forfeited and your appointment will be cancelled. No Exceptions!
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
NO REFUNDS: We do our best to ensure complete satisfaction of service. If you are unhappy for any reason, we can talk about options available
