All eyebrow treatments take approximately 10-14 days to heal. A touch-up appointment will be scheduled for 6-10 weeks after the initial appointment.
We will walk you through the healing process during your appointment. We will also supply you with full After-care instructions & everything you'll need for proper after-care.

All eyebrow treatments require two appointments (initial appointment + touch-up). During your inital appointment, we will schedule your touch-up/perfecting session for 6-8 weeks later. The pigment can lighten up to 60% during the healing process and certain hair strokes may completely disappear and seem patchy. This is completely normal and the reason for the perfecting session. We always prefer that the results heal too light over too saturated because we can always add more! Skin cells also turn over more frequently on oilier skin types causing the color to fade quicker than drier skin types. For oilier skin types more frequent touch ups may be required. After your first 2 appointments, a color boost (1 appointment) is recommended yearly, but some clients can go longer based on retention and each individual client's preference for their brows.
Yes! Permanent makeup is a safe process as long as it is done by a properly trained and certified professional that follows the proper sanitation and sterilization procedures.
To assure the client that proper sanitation methods are being used, we open a manufactured sealed and 100% disposable needle at the beginning of each procedure. The used tools are disposed in a sharps container once the treatment is completed. In addition, we sanitize all areas the client will come in contact with using a hospital grade disinfectant and apply barrier film to protect all surfaces from contamination during a procedure. By performing all treatments in this manner we feel that the health and safety of our clients' is being safeguarded to the highest degree. Following the appointment, it is the client's responsibility to strictly adhere to the post treatment instructions to promote proper healing and to prevent an infection.
If proper sterilization and sanitary guidelines are being met, permanent cosmetics is completely safe!
The pain level for all eyebrow treatments is considered mild to none. Prior to each treatment, your artist will apply a cocktail of topical anesthetics to numb the area which will be reapplied throughout the treatment. Everyone responds differently to the anesthetic and depending on the client, the feeling of the treatment has been described as "light nail scratches" to not feeling anything.
Topical anesthetics used may contain lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine.
Following the treatment, redness and slight swelling in the area is normal. Clients describe the area feeling similar to a light sunburn. Clients may take Tylenol if necessary but not aspirin or ibuprofen for at least 72 hours.
Strictly adhering to the Pre + After Care for all lip and eyebrow treatments is crucial to achieve the best results.
