DOES IT HURT?

Topical numbing products are used before & during the procedure to keep you comfortable. You should feel little to no pain. It is normal to feel some vibrations from the machine or light pressure

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?

About 3.5 hours. This includes consultation, mapping, drawing, measuring the brows, and the procedure itself. Drawing in the brow shape takes the longest to make sure they are as even as possible.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

There is no definite answer. Typically 1-3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Touch-ups can be done every year or even twice a year, if needed, to keep your shape & color looking fresh. Some may not need touch-ups as often as others. It varies to each individual. Oily skin tends to fade faster than dry skin.

WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS LIKE?

  1. Right after the procedure brow color will be very dark. You can expect some swelling and a slight red tint to your brows for a few days.

  2. For the first 1-2 weeks your brows will begin to dry and peel. Some may develop a thick crust/scab before peeling while other may just lightly peel and flake. DO NOT pick at your brows! This may cause the pigment to heal unevenly.

  3. After it is done peeling the color underneath will look very light and faded. This is normal.

  4. Week 3-4 your brows should continue to finish its healing process and the implanted pigment will begin to resurface.

  5. A touch-up can be done between 4-8 weeks.

DO I NEED TO COME WITH MAKEUP ON?

Ideally it would be nice to have a little light makeup for photo purposes, but it is not necessary.

DO I NEED TO GROOM MY BROWS AHEAD OF TIME?

It is best not to so we can see the natural hair flow to best shape your brows. We will clean the stray hairs that are outside of the brow shape when we are done shaping them.


DO I NEED TO COME BACK FOR A TOUCHUP?

Ideally, a touchup is recommended to perfect your color/shape. This will also help your tattoo last longer.
