What is Permanent Cosmetic Make up?

Permanent Cosmetic is an exciting treatment that has been around for many years. It is a totally safe form of cosmetic tattooing in which pigments are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin in almost any color of your choice. Permanent makeup will enhance your natural features and you still have the option of using make up to change your look to suit any occasion. The results can be subtle and natural looking to very dramatic depending on personal preferences.

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a manual, semi-permanent method. Also known as hairstroke, 3D brows, microstroking and eyebrow embroidery. It is the hottest new trend in beauty service that gives you the most natural looking brows.

This method is the finest form of eyebrow tattooing. This is done by using a hand held pen-like tool with a disposable microblade attached, which deposits pigment into the skin creating the most natural hair stroke results. Because the pigment is only deposited into the first layer of skin. It considered semi-permanent and can lasts 1-3 years. Less invasive than permanent method.

Maintanence of regular touch ups are recommended to keep the strokes crisp and fresh. It requires every six to eight months and varies from clients to clients.This procedure is for anyone looking to improve or enhance the appearance of their brows, it can change the shape, add fullness and give life to over plucked brows and fill in spots that are sparse or uneven.

As for pain, a topical anesthetic is administered, but there is discomfort associated with the procedure. Microblading is a two-step process, consisting of initial procedure and a touch-up to be completed 6-8 weeks after.

During the healing process , your brows will go through a very interesting phases. In the beginning right after the procedure they will appear darker and defined. After a week or 2 the color will slightly fade and definition will soften. There is no down time and no need to take time off from work.

The end result will depend on 50% of pigment and 50% of healing. We all heal differently, and what works on one client may not be effective on another. This is why a Touch-Up appointment is very important, it corrects and irregularities in color tones, and makes the look semi-permanent.

TOUCH-UP'S

Touch-up appointment which must be booked no sooner than 6 weeks and no later than 10 weeks after your first session. . If you choose to book your touch-up after 10 weeks, there will be a minimum charge and additional touch-up appointments will be charged depending on the time frame from your last appointment.

Note: For previous work or old tattoo

You must send a picture of your brows to booking an appointment to see if we are able to correct or cover it up with microblading. Tattoos that are still too dark may need lightening or color correcting first.

If your natural eyebrows are dramatically uneven, you may have to give up a significant amount of your eyebrow hairs or choose a much thicker shape to achieve better symmetry. If those options are not desired and symmetry is not a concern for you, you may opt to cover over the natural flow of each eyebrow.

If we are covering up an old tattoo previously done by another artist, please come with realistic expectations of what is possible to achieve. If the former tattoo is extremely uneven or dramatic in shape, we may not be able to achieve your exact desired shape or symmetry. Any hairstrokes done within the old tattoo may blend in and will not be as crisp, giving an appearance of unevenness in color and the old tattoo will still show through the new hairstrokes.

All options will be discussed during the consultation, and procedure will not start until the final design is agreed upon so please come prepared with an idea in mind of how you would like to design your eyebrows. Having pictures available will help us have a clear vision of what you are trying to achieve.

RESULTS

Results are extremely dependent on how one heals and will vary with each individual client. Successful results and specific color requests are not guaranteed (especially on those with problematic skin and or cover up an old tattoo) and additional sessions, at a minimum charge, may be required to obtain desired results. Although I use premium products and provide quality services, every client heals differently and many factors can lead to varied results. I do not guarantee perfect proportions or symmetry as some bone structures and muscle movements do not call for it. The final shape is completely your decision, and procedure will not start until you approve on the final shape. Please read though my entire FAQ section carefully to see if this procedure will be beneficial to you. All services provided are NON-REFUNDABLE.

Who Benefits from this Procedure?

Microblading works BEST on these types of skin:

Dry skin type with tiny pores. Skin that’s thin but not super thin (I like to compare this skin to a grape). This type of skin is usually not very sensitive with non-translucent fair ivory skin tone and doesn’t bleed easily.
Normal to combination skin-type with small pores can be abit oily to dry and sensitive or not sensitive (I like to compare this skin to an apple). This type of skin is usually non-translucent and can range from light to dark skin tones, young or mature skin and doesn’t bleed easily.

Microblading will NOT WORK WELL for these types of skin:

Thick oily skin with large pores, tends to bleed easily (I like to compare this skin to an orange peel). The skin texture and constant production of oil will cause the hairstrokes to heal with a thicker diffused, softer look. I can work on this type of skin, however, you must be aware that your end result will look more powdered and blended than you would expect.
Super-thin, soft, hypersensitive, skin with barely any upper skin layer (I like to compare this type of skin to a peeled hard boiled egg sometimes like a marshmallow). Usually translucent and pale with invisible pores and can have rosacea or dermatitis. This type of skin bleeds VERY easily, has a harder time healing, Pigment can appear more blurred and blotchy.

You may NOT have this procedure if :

You are under 18
You get Keloid scars
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
You have been on Accutane within 1 year

How to prepare for my appointment?

Please be aware:

Do NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or CAFFEINE before the procedure (at least 24hrs for alcohol)
Do NOT TAKE ADVIL or other blood thinners such a Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary, 48-72 hrs prior to your procedure. Extra strength Tylenol can be taken if you have low pain tolerance.
If you have recently tanned this will affect the outcome of the healed colour.
If you’ve had laser removal of previous work done by someone else, the treated area has now more scar tissue and can affect the outcome of the result. More treatments may be necessary to have the skin take the colour.
Botox should be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the procedure.
Avoid exercising the day of procedure as this will open up the pores.
Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
No waxing or tinting 3 days before
The first appointment is about stucture, design, and building hairstrokes. The touchup is about seeing how the skin heals and retains pigment, as well as making any neccesary adjustments to achieve more definition and volume.
Immediately following your procedure, the brows will appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined. Over the next 2 days it will appear even darker and thicker as scabs begin to form. Let the scabs naturally flake off bit by bit. It will take up to 14 days for scabbing to be over.
You may NOT apply any kind of products (except what I provide for your aftercare) for at least 10 days after. NO makeup on the area for 2 weeks.
