MICROBLADING
Microblading is a form of permanent makeup in which a small handheld tool made of several tiny needles is used to add semi-permanent pigment deposited into the epidermal layers of the skin. This technique gives the appearance of fine, crisp, natural looking hair strokes that lasts 1-2 years. This method is ideal for anyone wanting to enhance their brows with natural looking hair strokes. Pigment retention varies depending on skin type, age, aftercare, medication, certain chemicals, and type of pigment used.
POWDER BROW
Powder Brows or machine shading is another form of permanent makeup in which the pigment is inserted into the top layers of the skin using a permanent makeup machine that's similar to a tattoo gun. We create a shading behind the whole brow that will heal to look like a soft shadow as if you has filled in your brows with brow powder. This method is great if you are wanting a bit more of a filled in look than the natural hair strokes.
COMBO BROW
A Combo brow, or Fusion brow, is a combination of both microblading and powder brows. Adding strokes and then filling in some of the space with shading. This is ideal for clients wanting some of those natural hair strokes but still the density of a filled in brow. This is especially ideal for the client wanting microblading but doesn’t have a lot of natural brow hair to blend and look natural.
PRECARE
&
AFTERCARE
The correct aftercare and pre-care make all the difference in your results and help to minimize downtime. To ensure your treatment heals seamlessly and looks it’s absolute best, please follow the regimen below.
PRECARE
It’s all in the prep. To start, the brow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for a Microblading procedure:
-
Brow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated
-
Do not have any type of facial two (2) weeks prior to the procedure
-
Do not work out the day of the procedure
-
Do not have Botox two (2) weeks prior to the procedure
-
Do not take Fish Oil/primrose oil or Vitamin E one (1) week prior to the procedure because they are natural blood thinners
-
Do not wax or tint your eyebrows three (3) days prior to the procedure
-
Do not pick/tweeze one (1) week before the procedure
-
Do not tan two (2) weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face
In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:
-
Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo
-
Do not consume coffee before your procedure
-
Do not take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief as these also thin the blood
AFTERCARE
The purpose of the aftercare is to ensure the pigment bonds as best as possible. This will prevent future unnecessary touch-ups, and help the brows last longer.
-
Do not get the brows submerged in water for 10days (cleaning them gently with damp cotton is ok)
-
No exercise for 10 days
-
Apply the healing balm provided 1x per day in the morning
