BROWS

This is a machine technique which achieves a natural soft powder look. By brushing the skin with a single needle, we build the pigment layer by layer producing a gradient of color from dark to light. Ombre is a technique that is less selective in terms of ideal candidacy and can be more successful for those with oily skin, aging skin, acne prone skin, sensitive skin, and even those who have had previous permanent makeup. Prior to the procedure we will shape and customize your brows to a size and shape that compliments your facial features. We will also select a color that best matches your natural complexion and skin tone bearing in mind undertones and skin conditions. Topical anesthetics are applied before and during the procedure to keep pain and discomfort to a minimum. The procedure requires approximately two hours and there is no “down time”. A touch up is required 6-12 weeks after the initial procedure. After that, touch ups are recommended yearly to refresh the color richness and shape.

Please note: For the first 10-12 days, eyebrows will appear darker, bolder, and thicker due to scab formation and the natural skin healing process of the immune system. This is common and to be expected for all permanent makeup procedures.

Before committing to your appointment, it’s important to rule out any possible allergies. The skin around the eyebrows is thin and, therefore, to be extra safe, it’s recommended to do a patch test with the dye to make sure you’re not allergic to any of the chemicals.

We will do a preview consultation to understand your expectations based on color and shape, then we will design your brows to make sure they look symmetrical.

Lastly, be prepared to be slightly stunned at the difference. If you’re starting with very sparse brows or very blonde brows, the after can be a bit shocking, but keep in mind that every day the color will get lighter until it disappears.

The key to long lasting results begins with proper after care.

• Do NOT wet your brows for 24 hours.
• Do not use sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for 48 hours.
• Do not touch or rub the treated area for 24 hours after your treatment.
• Do not exfoliate or apply anti-aging skincare or tanning products around the brows for three days after your treatment.
• Do not forget to apply your conditioning serum twice daily.

While brow lamination is not invasive compared to brow tattooing, or other related procedures, there are still some side effects to know before booking your appointment. Such risks are mostly related to skin irritation caused by the chemicals.

These include:

• swelling
• redness
• peeling
• itching
• bumps

The side effects may occur directly beneath and above the eyebrows, but they may also extend to your eyelids.

This procedure may not be recommended if you have:

• sensitive skin
• rosacea
• eczema
• a history of contact dermatitis

Just as perming the hair on your head can lead to dryness and damage, brow lamination could potentially damage your eyebrows in the same way. Your chances are greater if you repeat the process too often, or sooner than 6 weeks.

Another more serious risk is eye damage. This may occur if the chemicals run into your eyes during the procedure.

Brow lamination, also known as the “eyebrow perm” provides a fuller, more even look. It helps keep the hair in place after washing off any cosmetics you may wear. This is an ideal service for those who may be experiencing thinning or unruly brows.

As a semi-permanent procedure, eyebrow lamination may also be a good fit if you want to keep your brows styled a certain way but are tired of using eyebrow gel every day. It lasts approximately 4 weeks. The entire process is also completely non-invasive.

• Do not work out the day of the procedure.
• Do not tan or have sunburned face.
• Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil or Ibuprofen 24 hours before procedure.
• No alcohol or caffeine 2 days before the procedure.
• No waxing or tinting 3 days before the procedure.
• No tweezing/ waxing at least 48 hours before procedure; electrolysis no less than five days before. Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least two weeks.
• Eyebrow tinting should be done or removed no sooner than 48 hours before, or two weeks after the procedure.

Please be aware that the result of the procedure is depending the following: Medication and health conditions, Skin Conditions (oily and poor skin, very dry/flaky skin, sun-damaged skin or lose skin, Natural skin undertones), Alcohol intake and smoking, General stress, immune system, Poor diet and not following the aftercare instructions, may affect your healed results.

Day 1

• Oily skin cleans the skin every 30 min for the first 3 hours (total 6 times) after the procedure using a damp cotton (using clean bottled water) and washing hands before each cleaning time.
• Dry Skin cleans every hour for the first 3 hours (total of 3 times) after the procedure using a damp cotton (using clean bottled water) and washing hands before each cleaning time.
• Right after the LAST wipe apply a thin layer of the healing ointment (Aquaphor, Vaseline, or Coconut oil).
• Oily Skin wash before going to bed using lukewarm water very gently removing the lymph, pat dry and apply a thin layer of ointment.
• Dry Skin may not wash if the skin does not have visible lymph on top of the skin, just make sure your skin is moist before bed by applying a thin layer of ointment.

Day 2

If you still see lymph in the morning, wash one more time, pat dry and apply a thin layer of ointment. If no lymph then just keep your eyebrows hydrated with ointment as needed, means apply ointment only when you feel the skin is dry.

During the First 10 Days

• Everyone’s skin has its own healing process and duration. It is recommended to apply ointment as long as the skin is still scabbed and even after. The ointment will help your skin regenerate faster and better.
• Do not use makeup, cosmetic products or any cream in the area (except for the healing cream).
• No Sauna, pool, Beach, sunbathing.
• Avoid facial treatment that involves Massage and steaming.
• Avoid touching the treated area, it is normal feeling itchy, do not SCRATCH at all.
• DO NOT PEEL the scabs at all, you may cause scarring if otherwise.
• Avoid drinking liquor.
• Avoid excessive sweating.
• Avoid smoking as this alters the color of the pigment.

During the First 4 Weeks

• Avoid Exposure to sunlight or tanning salons.
• Avoid chemical peelings, microdermabrasion, creams that contain acids or ingredients that will lighten or exfoliate the skin.

Always avoid Laser treatments over the treated area (Fraxel, Laser, IPL) because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns.
