WHAT TO EXPECT:

DAY OF:

  • Upon arrival you will fill out and sign your health intake and contract.

  • Next we will clean your skin and apply topical anesthetic for 20 min to pre-numb the skin.

  • Next we create your desired shape as well as choose your pigment color(s). Natalie always recommends matching your natural brow color. 

  • She will then test your skin to make sure you are comfortable prior to and after the first stroke or pass. Natalie will continually ask you your comfort level and will periodically apply topical anesthetic to keep you numb throughout the procedure.

  • When finished, your eyebrows will have sharp crisp strokes, and will appear a shade darker than your natural brows (this WILL fade anywhere from 15-30% once healed depending on skin type etc).

  • Lastly we will go over your aftercare instructions/kit prior to you leaving the studio.

  • A thorough aftercare kit and instructions will be given

 

  • AFTER PROCEDURE:

    Redness and swelling dissipate within an hour after the treatment, although it is normal for them to feel sore 

     

    • During the healing process, your brows will go through a few stages - at first, they appear sharp and crisp (and a bit dark). After a few days they darken even more and may even have a red undertone. On day 3 or 4 they start the flaking process- DO NOT pick or scrub your brows as your skin is still absorbing the pigment! They will look the lightest after they are done sloughing, as your skin regenerates new skin on top of the implantation as a natural immune response. The brows go through a series of stages, so it is important you understand and trust the healing process!

    • The color will eventually fade slightly and the definition will soften.

 

AFTER CARE::

​

 

 You will be sent home with a full aftercare kit and instructions. Although no downtime is needed following this procedure, you will need to clean and hydrate them am and pm and the following MUST be avoided during all 10-14 days post procedure (could be longer depending on your cell turnover rate). 

  • sweating (any form from heat, exercise, cleaning etc.)

  • Practicing sports

  • Swimming

  • Hot sauna, steam rooms, hot baths, or Jacuzzis

  • Sun-bathing and tanning beds

  • Any laser or chemical treatments and/or peels 

  • Using ANY products containing Retin A, Glycolic Acid, Renova /fruits acids on the face or neck. 

  • Picking, peeling, or scratching of the brows in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal

    of pigment

  • Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as: garages, basements, and

    attics where there is an abundance of airborne debris

  • Spicy foods

  • Smoking

  • Excessive drinking which can cause loss of pigment and longer healing time

  • Driving in open air vehicles such as: convertibles, boats, bicycles, and motorcycles

  • Touching of the eyebrows except for rinsing and applying the post-care ointment.
