How long is the Healing Process?

-After 2 weeks the skin has created a new layer of skin, but is still healing.

-Most people fully heal within 6 weeks from their initial procedure.

 

Does it hurt?

-Pain is minimal for most. For all cosmetic procedures, I numb the area before and use numbing gel throughout the procedure.

 

What do I need to prepare for the session?

-If you are having your lips done, you may experience some uncomfortable pain due to all the nerve endings, in the upper lip particularly.  You can ask your primary care doctor for a prescription for a full strength anesthetic if you feel it's necessary. You may bring it and apply it right before the procedure.

-If you are having your eyebrows done, have them filled in so we have an idea of how you usually do them. If you like a certain eyebrow shape, bring in a photo with you, And please DO NOT drink caffeine or alcohol 24 hours prior.

 

Is your facility clean and certified?

-Yes. I am blood-borne pathogen certified through American Red Cross.

-All the needles I use are made sterile and packaged for individual use only. All disposable needles and products are discarded after one use.

-All of the inks we use are approved by the FDA.

-If highly sensitive, ask about our organic ink option for an extra charge.

 

Will you be shaving my eyebrows off?

-No. You can rest assured that I will NOT. The eyebrows do not need to be removed during a procedure.

 

Can you help me correct my uneven eyebrows?

-It’s very normal for our natural eyebrows to be uneven. A good percentage of clients come in with some unevenness. I use several techniques to help create balance and symmetry.

 

Why do eyebrows look different right after they are done compared to when they were drawn on?

-The eyebrows look bolder right after the procedure because of swelling, which will go down within 48 hours. The brow color will also heal up considerably lighter, about 30%.
