We provide a wide range of eyebrow tattooing techniques for every skin type such as Microblading, Microshading and Powder Ombre.
Well, Microblading, Microshading and Powder Brows are all forms of cosmetic tattooing.
Microblading is used to create the look of realistic hair strokes and can help add density to existing eyebrow hair or create a completely natural-looking set of eyebrows for those who experience hair loss however not eveybody is a candidate for this type of tattoo, microblading is not suitable for clients with oily skin or persons who do not have alot of natual hair present.
The microshade brow tattooing technique uses a microblade tool paird with a tattoo machine & needle to add boldness but with a natual effect. This style of tattooing is very popular as it is good for most skin types. Often times, many clients who have had multiple microblade procedures throughout time eventually opt for a bolder brow, like microshading or powder brows.
Powder brows are suitable for most skin types. It is a full shaded brow applied by machine & needle (no hairstrokes) which mimics soft powdery makeup once healed. This technique is very gentle on the skin and great for all ages and skin types. The most desirable healed results can come with this treatment. It is #1 for oily skin!
ABSOLUTELY NO CAFFINE, COFFEE, TEAS, ALCOHOL, VITAMINS OR PAIN KILLERS AT LEAST 24 HRS BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT!
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEW COSMETIC TATTOOED BROWS:
We recommend trying to keep your new brow tattoo away from water as much as possible. A light splash once or twice a day is okay, but remember not to get your new tattoo soaked ... stay away from steam and hot showers, saunas and pools. Gently pat the area dry after your light splash and apply a THIN layer of the aftercare that has been given to you approx twice daily. Keep your new tattoo out of the sun throughout the healing process, so no tanning. Do not apply ANY cosmetics in this area and avoid sweating for AT LEAST 10-14 days. Yes, that means NO working out for 2 weeks. Keep the area clean and let it breathe periodically. Use the aftercare at your discretion, being mindful not to suffocate the brows with aftercare 24 hours a day, give the tattoo some air ;)
That's it! Pretty simple.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Immediately following your procedure, the brows will appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined. This can last up to a week after the treatment while the initial healing process takes place. The treated area may feel a bit like sunburn afterwards but there should be minimal discomfort.
During the initial healing period, If there is some scabbing or flaking, do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own.
The complete healing process takes about 6-8 weeks, at which time the true color of the tattoo is evident. During this process, your brows will soften and lighten. Be patient, even if you think too much color has been lost, as your skin is still regenerating and naturally exfoliating. Wait at least 6 weeks to see the true color, as it seems to take on new strength, and it is only after 6-8 weeks that your touch-up/adjustment can be done.
WHAT NOT TO DO:
Avoid having very hot/ steamy showers or baths, getting any soaps, shampoos or other cleansers on the treated area for the first week as they can be detrimental to the bonding process that must take place for the pigment to stabilize in the dermis.
DO NOT pick or scratch at the dry skin/flakiness; let the skin fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring and premature loss of pigment. IMPORTANT: Once the flakes have fallen off, a shiny layer of healing skin will completely cover the hair strokes. It may appear as though the tattooed area has completely disappeared. Within 1-2 weeks, the hair strokes will slowly reappear at a lighter shade as your skin regenerates.
DO NOT apply make-up to the tattooed area for the first 2 weeks. Cosmetics of any kind may interfere with the healing and color of your tattoo.
DO NOT use Vaseline, Polysporin, Neosporin or other petroleum based products while healing.
DO NOT bleach, tint or dye the tattooed area for one month following the procedure.
DO NOT apply any anti-acne products (e.g. Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Proactiv, etc.) or lightening creams (skin bleaching creams) such as hydroquinone to the treated area while healing.
No anti-aging products or facial products containing Alpha Hydroxyls (AHAs), Retin-A, Lactic or Glycolic Acids
Do not thread, wax, or use hair removal products on the treated area while healing.
NO exercising and/or sweating for a few days prior to getting tattooed and for two week after.
NO swimming pools, jacuzzis or other bodies of water for two weeks.
Do not soak your face underwater in a bathtub or allow the shower to spray directly in your face for two weeks.
ONCE HEALED:
Exposure to the sun over time can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, you may apply sunscreen on the treated area. Wear large sunglasses and a hat for further protection. Rinse and dry the area thoroughly when in contact with chlorine.
Glycolic acid, microdermabrasion, and chemical face peel products must be kept away from the tattooed area as continued use could lighten the pigment.
If you are having laser resurfacing or laser hair removal after your tattoo has healed, please inform the laser technician. Continue at your own discretion. Laser procedures may darken, lighten, or discolor the tattooed area.
Once the treated area is completely healed, any changes or additions that need to be made can be done at your follow-up appointment no sooner than 6-8 weeks later.
There are no implied or written guarantees if you do not take care of your tattoo. Each client’s skin responds differently to these treatments.
