We have Topical numbing Creams that make our clients comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Normally clients describe the eyeliner as a slight tickling instead of pain. For Brows, there is little to no pain and our clients often fall asleep during the procedure. The fine, delicate, and superior results of Nanoblading or digital microblading build up the layers of color needed to provide you with the most natural and beautiful results possible.

Exfoliating optimizes results and is required for lips and recommended for brows, eyes and scalp.

LIPS: 4-5 days pre-procedure. Removing dry and dead skin for lip treatment dramatically improves comfort. Homemade scrub (comprising of sugar) is acceptable.
*If you are taking an antiviral for cold sores (compulsory), ignore the above and extra gently exfoliate lips 2 days pre-procedure instead.

EYES: 2-3 days prior to cosmetic tattoo we suggest an OccuSoft (Sensitive) treatment is available at the pharmacy (over the counter). It is specifically designed to exfoliate in between the lashes and lash line.

SKIN TRAUMA: Avoid chemical peels and microdermabrasion 4 weeks prior. Don’t wax or shave face 72 hours prior to any permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoo procedure. Sunburn and tanning cause inflammation in the skin. This prevents optimal healing and diminishes pigment retention. Stay out of the sun and tanning beds leading up to your appointment.

CERTAIN SUBSTANCES: 24 hours prior to your appointment, do not have any caffeine, alcohol, niacin, vitamin E, blood thinners (ie. aspirin, ibuprofen). 1 week prior, stop taking fish oil supplements.

EYES: Stop using lash serum for as long as possible.

ANTIHISTAMINES: The permanent makeup procedure can initiate a mild histamine response (tearing and nasal congestion). Less common, light sensitivity can cause a similar reaction. We want to avoid any of these biological responses. We are not doctors, we are artists. However, it is our recommendation that clients take 10mg Certizine (Zyrtec), prior to arriving at the Studio. Please also consider bringing a spare tablet in case. Again, it is only a recommendation to help you during the cosmetic tattoo procedure.

CLOTHING: Comfort is key! Do not wear best clothes. Pigment can splatter.

Prior to the your permanent makeup Procedure, you will receive aftercare instructions and ointment. It is extremely important to follow for optimal results.

Avoid all moisture after your cosmetic tattoo procedure and protect yourself from the sun until the flaking (a natural part of the healing process) has completely subsided.

Flaking or scabbing for eyes and lips around 4-5 days, brows is 2-12 days. by this stage, the micropigmentation can temporarily look ashy and dull. When baby skin surfaces, beautiful pigment will begins to emerge.

DO NOT PICK!! ANY SCABBING / LIFTING WILL PULL PIGMENT!

After your 1st appointment, touch up for most permanent makeup enhancements is scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial cosmetic tattoo procedure to ensure the skin has finished its healing process and the color has finished ‘developing’. Much quicker than the first session, a timely touch up is crucial for long-term pigment retention and colorfast. Touch up must be within 2 months of 1st micropigmentation session.

Annual Touch Up: Pigment will eventually soften and fade out over the years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last forever. We recommended scheduling a minor ‘ink drink’ every 12 months.

Nanoblading

Nanoblading is the process of puncturing the skin with an extremely fine needle to deposit pigment. This minimizes trauma to the skin and allows for improved healing outcome from your permanent makeup. It is superior to Microblading, which is why we only offer the nano procedure utilizing state-of-the-art digital technology.

Furthermore, clients are able to take advantage of the shading capabilities that can create an even more beautiful looking brow.

The precision involved in digital microblading makes this process take longer to complete but with superior results. This process is good for all skin types.

Manual Microblading

Microblading has been around for centuries. However, it requires the use of a manual blade that deposits pigment by slicing though the skin. While this costs less time and money, a microblading professional does not receive extensive training.

This process is also extremely traumatic for sensitive facial dermis. Medium to long term maintenance of brows can have consequences for scar tissue formation.

When permanent makeup from microblading fades out, it can leave baby pink scar tissue in its place. Clients often mistake this for remnants of old pigment, but pigment should fade away – not to a pink tone. The build up of scar tissue can also make pigment retention more difficult because of the damage to the skin.
