Immediately after shedding colour will appear lighter than expected but the colour will return to a soft healed result over the following weeks.

The result is a natural looking enhancement.

After your 10 days of aftercare, you are welcome to wear brow makeup if required until your touch up appointment.

This varies for individuals based on a variety of factors. Such Factors include your skin type, medications, sun exposure, lifestyle, skin care and hormones. Your preparation and aftercare also have a dramatic impact on the longevity of your brows. A colour boost is recommend every 12-18 months to keep enhancements looking fresh.

Absolutely! Most clients show little sign of swelling or redness after treatment. The colour oxidise and will be quite dark for the first 3-4 days , however this will soften and lighten approximately within 7-10 days.

• How long you spend in the sun. The sun fades the pigment faster so sun block may be used to prolong your enhancement.
• The regeneration of skin cells – the longer the regeneration takes the longer the pigment holds, therefore mature clients may find greater retention as skin cells turn over slower.
• The speed at which the skin absorbs the pigment – the slower the absorption the longer the pigment will hold.
• The choice of colour – some colours fade quicker than others, e.g. a blonde colour will fade quicker than a dark brown colour.
• The area of treatment – enhancements to the face, for example, fade more quickly due to constant exposure and product use.
• Oily skin tends to lose colour more quickly than other skin types
• Overly sensitive, dry, flaky or wrinkled skin may heal patchy and require more ongoing maintenance We cannot guarantee the healed results in these skin types.

• Please apply Emla numbing cream and cover with cling film 45 mins prior to your appointment. A small 5gm tube can be purchased from the pharmacy for around $10. Apply a thick layer and come into the salon with the cling film still on.

If you have a skin condition like eczema, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris and dermatitis your skin is in a constant state of unrest and shedding and therefore won’t hold the pigment very well.

The same goes for conditions like chronic acne and rosacea. The inherent nature of this type of skin causes easy bleeding, which once again means your skin will not retain the colour properly.

If you have been taking acne medications such as accutane or retin-a within the last year you have an altered skin condition that will not heal well after the procedure. It’s very important that you wait a year before tattooing the skin. Retinol and vitamin a are very similar and should be discontinued to use a month prior to the procedure.

Excessively oily skin is unsuitable for eyebrow feathering as the strokes will blur together and give off an unwanted solid effect instead of a naturally feathered look. An ombre treatment may be suitable for these clients.

Deep wrinkles can make the overall look appear uneven and we cannot guarantee results in this skin type.
Moles, bumps, and any raised skin will also be unable to retain the pigment.

Unfortunately, cosmetic tattooing is not suitable if you’re prone to keloid scarring. It is important to not be sunburnt for your procedure.

You cannot have any skin treatments done 4 weeks either side of your cosmetic tattoo treatment. If you had permanent makeup done previously you will need to send a clear close-up photo of your existing tattoo to determine if we can work with your existing tattoo or if you need to consider removal prior to the procedure.

If you have diabetes, haemophilia or a heart condition it is absolutely not recommended that you get any form of permanent, make up done as this puts you in a high-risk position.

If you’re undergoing chemotherapy you will have to wait until your treatment is finished. It is recommended to wait 12 months and you will require a letter from your doctor confirming it is safe to proceed.

Trichotillomania can cause scar tissue in the skin to be prominent, which does not allow the colour to heal properly. Glaucoma – the use of glaucoma eye drops makes eyelash follicles and eyelids hypersensitive, causing excessive bleeding and poor colour retention. Therefore, eyeliner tattooing is not an option.

Accutane/retin-a – if you have been taking acne medications such as accutane or retin-a within the last year you have an altered skin condition that will not heal well after the procedure. It’s very important that you wait a year before tattooing the skin. Retinol and vitamin a are very similar and should be discontinued to use a month prior to the procedure.

Eyelash and eyebrow growth serums bring extra circulation to the area which results in more growth of hair/lashes. This can cause the skin in that area to be hypersensitive and bleed easily. It is recommended to discontinue the use of these products at least 3-6 months before your treatment
