Permanent makeup results in enhanced features of the face. Definition is rendered to eyebrows, eyes and lips by the use of colors. Microblading is very popular. Results can imitate topically applied cosmetics or can be quite unnoticeable, depending upon the the design, color value and amount of pigment used.  At first, permanent makeup results may look darker. This is due to color remaining in the outermost epidermal layers of skin. Color softens within a few days during the healing process as the upper layers of epidermis change and are replaced by new epidermal cells.

While permanent makeup pigment remains in the dermis its beauty-span may be influenced by several possible factors. These can be environmental, procedural and/or individual factors.  The amount and color of pigment deposit at the dermal level can affect the length of time that permanent makeup looks its best. Very natural-looking applications are likely to require a touch-up before more dramatic ones for this reason. Individual influences include lifestyles that find an individual in the sun regularly such as with gardening or swimming. Skin tones are also a factor in color value changes over time.

No, you can go back to your normal day with the exception of a few guidelines. Redness usually decreases within the first few hours after the procedure. The initial color will be darker the first few days than it will be when it heals. It takes 10-14 days to fully heal, after which the color will settle into its normal, natural color which will be 30-40% lighter.  No working out for 48 hours after the procedure.

Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but most people find it very tolerable. Topical numbing cream will be applied before beginning your procedure, if needed.

The day of your appointment I will preform a shape consultation as to the shape of the brows you would like, but also feel free to bring pictures of brows you may like.

Yes, you will need a touch up. The touch up appointment will correct any color loss as well as any shaping issues. At the end of your first appointment I will schedule your first 6 week touch up. You will also need another touch up around 10 months after.
