WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
During your consultation, I will work with you to discuss your goals, lifestyle, shape of your existing brows, eyeliner or lip shape. It also includes the problem areas you wish to address. Bringing reference photos of your desired brow shape, eyeliner tattoo or lip tint/gloss is highly recommended and greatly appreciated. I will advise and show you what will work best for your face shape.
If you have any questions about which procedure to choose, I can direct you towards the best option for you. You’re free to ask relevant questions during your microblading/eyeliner tattoo/lip blush appointment.
Before going to your microblading appointment, ensure that you’re qualified
-
Skin Complications – Skins that are prone to complications with eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, and dermatitis. This means that chances are your skin is in a constant state of unrest and shedding.
-
Chronic Conditions – The same goes for conditions like chronic acne and rosacea. The inherent nature of this type of skin causes easy bleeding, which once again means your skin will not retain the color very well.
-
Sunburn – If you are hoping to get microblading/eyeliner tattoo/lip blush done but have gotten a tan or worse, a sunburn, it’s best to wait until your skin has resumed its normal color and wait until your skin has healed before booking in for a procedure.
-
Previous Permanent Makeup – People who have previously had permanent makeup may want to change or fix what they have previously had done. Clients may have to consider laser removal prior to a procedure or ask the artist if they can work with their existing permanent makeup to incorporate the old design and colors into the new one. Always disclose while booking, if you’ve had previous permanent makeup so I can do the procedure accordingly.
Your entire microblading/lip blush/eyeliner tattoo process should take approximately 2-3 hours.
-
Step 1: I take photos of your bare brows/lips/eyes
-
Step 2: Then, sanitize the area
-
Step 3: I will then take a photo using a symmetry app to measure the brows/lips/eyes
-
Step 4: Then your desired shape will be mapped onto your brows/lips/eyes
-
Step 5: We, together, will come to an agreement on your new perfect shape!
-
Step 6: Photos will be taken and then the area will be pre-numbed
-
Step 7: Wait time for the numbing cream is 15-20 minutes. At this time, I will go over the Aftercare instructions
-
Step 8: The procedure begins and it will take approximately 1-1.5 hour for completion
-
Step 9: Done! Your photo will be taken of your new brows/lip blush/eyeliner
-
Step 10: I go over the aftercare again and hand you the aftercare products and you are out the door!
After your microblading appointment, there is the touch-up perfecting session. Please note not every client requires a touch-up. It is dependent on your skin type. The touch-up session is performed after 12 weeks from your initial appointment. At this appointment, I will assess how your skin has healed and will perfect your brows/lips/eyes accordingly.
Touch ups are additional cost.
These procedures are semi-permanent as the pigment is planted mostly in the epidermis and in the upper dermis. Therefore, it will gradually and naturally fade over time, to varying degrees. A touch-up or “Refresher Session” is recommended at least once every 1.5-2 years.
Long Term Care for Lasting Results for Microblading/Lip Blush/Eyeliner Tattoo
There are just a few lifestyle tips that will keep your tattoo looking fresh and ensure lasting results.
Avoid the sun!
Spending extended amounts of time in direct sun is a no. If you’re going on a holiday and are out in the rays a lot, you must be smart about it. That means good SPF, a hat and even oversized sunnies, if possible. For daily incidental sun exposure, just make sure your moisturizer has an SPF, apply it over your face and brows and you’re good to go. This tip goes for maintaining youthful skin too! The sun is the biggest contributor to the premature fading of cosmetic tattoos. Protect your investment and the health of your skin by always wearing SPF.
Don’t use active skincare ingredients over your tattooed area.
BHA, Glycolic, Lactic, Salycilic, Retinol or any other repair-based product is great for keeping your skin glowing. But their exfoliating properties are no good for your tattoo. Don’t freak out…you can still use your amazing skincare but just don’t apply it directly over your brows, lips or eyeliner. If your cleanser contains acids it could be prematurely fading your tattoo so best to cleanse around them. Avoid everything besides SPF and makeup directly over your brows. Another important tip - make sure to let your esthetician know about your tattoo so she/he can cover that area with Vaseline before starting your treatment.
You still need to wax and potentially tint. (For brows only).
Eyebrow tattooing is magical, but unfortunately, it doesn’t stop unwanted hair growth. You will still need to visit your beautician for regular waxing to keep your brows looking their best. If you have very blonde or grey brow hairs these can be more noticeable with an eyebrow tattoo. Having eyebrow tints when required will help to blend your hair with the tattoo and create a more natural look.
Suitability for cosmetic tattooing.
If you look after your investment you will enjoy perfectly on-point brows/lips/eyeliner for up to 18 months. As with any cosmetic procedure, individual results do vary and are also dependent on skin types/medications and other factors. Clients with oily skin types or who take thyroxine/antidepressants/medications may need more regular maintenance appointments (usually between 6-12 months) as these factors, unfortunately, contribute to faster fading.
