Before and during your procedure we will use topical anesthetic cream, to assure you are comfortable, some discomfort depending on your individual pain tolerance and pigmented area could occur
The technician will discuss the shape, color and advise the best technique for you
You will feel machine buzzing and vibration, light pressure, and skin stretching
The technician will apply the pigment into the top layer of the skin only with the tip of the needle
Each time the needle penetrates the skin, a droplet of pigment is released into the microscopic hole the needle makes, it might feel like a slight stinging
a full set of brows typically takes 1.5 - 2 hours.

the process
what to expect
IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS THE SKIN SURROUNDING THE TREATED AREA MAY APPEAR SLIGHTLY PINK AND BROW COLOR MAY APPEAR REDDISH-BROWN. THIS WILL COOL AND SOFTEN TO DESIRED COLOR AS SKIN IRRITATION GOES AWAY.
FOR THE FIRST 10 -12 DAYS BROWS WILL APPEAR THICK AND DARK, THIS WILL FADE BY 30-40%.
SCABS MAY APPEAR IN THE BROW AREA AND THEN FLAKE OFF MAKING BROWS APPEAR SPLOTCHY OR UNEVEN. THIS WILL CORRECT ITSELF OVER THE NEXT 7-10. DAYS AS PIGMENT WILL RISE AND REAPPEAR AS THE SKIN HEALS.
aftercare
an aftercare ointment will be applied after treatment.
lightly blot away any lymph drainage for the next 24 hours (Lymph drainage will turn into a scab and peel off with the pigment, this is how you lose the pigment, so it is good to blot away any droplets that your skin may excrete as it occurs.)
keep the area free of dirt and bacteria (especially for the first 24 hours)
do not wash or get the treatment area wet for 24 hours
after 24 hours, you may wash the area with a mild cleanser such as cetaphil. it is important to keep the area clean but be very gentle.
after cleansing, using a q-tip or clean fingers, spread a thin layer of aftercare ointment in the morning and in the evening.
Do not use any skincare or makeup products on the treated area for 10 - 12 days.
Expect to lose some color during next month, this will be addressed during your touch up treatment (after 10 days you can use makeup to cover empty spots if necessary)
Do not rub or pick any scabs,
try not to sleep on your face
Color will look dark and intense for the first week, this is normal. It takes about one week to restore the skin and grow a new layer over the color
Avoid sun and tanning, direct sun might cause burning or darkening of the pigmented area
wear hats and/or large sunglasses to protect your brows from the sun as they are healing
avoid heavy sweating for the next two days, sweat and oil might cause blurring and losing more pigment
Avoid tanning beds, saunas, and hot tubs, and direct water pressure.
Chlorine and salt will fade your tattoo, so avoid swimming for 7-10 days.
Do not use any harsh creams around the treated area that contain acids or retinol for 14 days.
please wait 2 weeks before waxing or electrolysis
Schedule your follow up visit 4-6 weeks from first treatment to fill in sparse spots if needed
You should not have MRI during the healing process (about 2 months)
You won’t be able to give blood for some period of time after the procedure
