Before Your Appointment

 

- No coffee, alcohol, caffeine, smoking (all forms), pain medication, and/or other stimulants for at least 24-hours to avoid excessive bleeding. The skin will not retain the pigment well and result in having to come back for more sessions.

- No blood thinners for at least 7 days unless authorized by your physician.

- No Retin-A/Retinol skincare products for a week or two.

- No Botox, fillers or chemical peels on or near your brow area 2-4 weeks before and after each session.

It is very important to follow these guidelines to have the best end result. Your skin will tell me the truth, so please be honest!!

FAQ

How long will it take to do?

Typically 2-2.5 hrs. It depends on the individual client. We will make sure that you are 100% happy with the shape before starting the procedure.

Will it hurt?

This depends on the individual as well. Some have a higher pain tolerance than others. We do apply a numbing cream. 

How many sessions does it take?

Every brand new set of brows requires at least two sessions to achieve the desired look. There have been exceptions where a third or fourth session is needed.

How long should I wait to get my first touch up?

Your first touch up should be at least 6-8 weeks after the first initial session, once the brows are fully healed.

How long does it last?

1-2 years. It also depends on the person and their skin. A yearly touch up is recommended.
