FAQS

How many treatments are needed?

Two treatments are usually needed, at least 4-6 weeks apart. Sometimes just one treatment is sufficient. With most procedures, the colour fades dramatically after a week.

What should I expect after the treatment?

Immediately after treatment, the colour will appear darker than your chosen shade. This is because the pigment take around seven days to enter the deeper layers of the skin/. After 7-10 days, exfoliation takes place. The top layer of the skin peels off, leaving a softer, lighter colour below. The result is a natural looking enhancement. As the treated area is settling down, itching may occur. This is a good sign as it means the skin is healing.Do not touch the treated area for 7 days.

How long will the treatment last?

This varies depending on how well your skin holds the pigment. We recommend a colour boost to be taken once a year to keep enhancements looking fresh. Should you choose not to have a yearly colour boost your enhancement will fade over a period of approximately 2-3 years.

When will I need a colour boost?


Top up time is different for everyone. Usually the colour should be touched up after one year.

Will the treatment hurt?

Anesthetics are used to numb the treatment area. Some clients may experience slight discomfort and a stinging sensation, more so on sensitive areas such as lips. Do not schedule your appointment around your menstrual cycle as all of these make you more sensitive.They say tweezing their eyebrows is more painful that have permanent makeup.

Will I be able to return back to work the next day?

Yes. Most clients show little sign of swelling or redness after treatment. The colour will be quite dark at first but not too conspicuous.It will soften and lighten within 10 days.



Is there a risk of infection?

There is a minimal risk of infection as strict hygiene standards are maintained. Sterile needles from sealed packets are used once only. To prevent cross contamination, the technician wears sterile gloves. An antibiotic cream is applied to the skin after treatment. Strict after care rules are given to the client at the end of each treatment.

Will I be allergic to the treatment?

Allergic reactions are rare. However, a sensitivity test is given. This involves place a tiny amount of pigment on the skin to check for sensitivity.



What factors will affect permanent make up?

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. 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 blond 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.

Will Microblading be the same as eyebrows tattoos?

No. Definitely not.
The work involved with eyebrow embroidery is only performed on the skin surface. Microblading will be a MUCH SAFER treatment than eyebrow tattoos. This technique deposits colored pigments in the upper layers of the dermis. The color can also be adjusted in alignment with the original eyebrow hair color, which results to a realistic look and feel. It is a method whereby colors are inserted to the upper layers of the skin where it lasts only 1-2 years depending on the skin retention of colors…

How Do I Care For My Procedure After?

Aftercare procedure may very depending on how your skin reacts to the procedure. We prefer that you use only the post-cream given to you. Using Neosporin, bacitracin or other products may cause an allergic reaction on open skin. If you experience any type of redness, irritation or pain stop using the product and phone your technician who will advise you what to do.  Follow your aftercare instructions exactly and you will have a beautiful procedure.

How will the shape of my eyebrows be determined?

Your facial features and bone structure is measured to determine the best eyebrow shape for your face.  The eyebrow is first drawn with makeup, then the client can decide if she likes how thick it is, where its positioned, if the arch is perfect and if the overall shape is what they desire.  Only after the client has approved and is satisfied with the drawn shape will the permanent procedure begin.
