What to expect after eyebrows/ lips/ eyes pigmentation procedures:

Sometimes, there is slight swelling, thickness, and/or redness for one day following the procedure. It is normal to lose approximately 30 - 50% of the color during the healing process.

After the initial procedure, the color may be a shade too dark; in 6 days it will appear to lighten. After 10 days the color will show more.

It will appear softer when completely healed because the color will come from the dermal layer of the skin to the epidermal layer of the skin.

Please be patient, trust the process. Healing takes up to 30 days. During your next appointment more strokes can be added to make them perfect (In Microblading/ Hairstrokes/ Nano Brows case)

How long does the treatment take?

Usually all techniques in eyebrows, eyeliner and lip blush are done in two sessions. The first session takes between two to three hours. In the first session, for example: the brow is shaped and styled to the client’s preference, and pigment is applied. Four to six weeks later, the client returns for the second session for touch up, This second session takes between one hour

If you have existing/old Permanent Makeup Tattoos:

If you have existing permanent makeup tattoos, including brows, lips, and eyeliner, they must be old and faded al least 90% before coming into the studio for new services. We cannot complete new services when the previous work is too dark, discolored, or large. Tattoo removal will be recommended before any new service can be successful. Previous work can not always be “fixed” or made more beautiful by doing a cover-up.

So If you have previous eyebrows, lips or eyeliner tattoo, PLEASE TEXT (347) 674-5997 a clear photo of your brows and get an approval BEFORE booking an appointment.

Consultations are apart of every booked full service. If you would like to get the service the same day, please book the full service.

We do not offer touch-ups on other artists work, touch-up prices are for our previous clients only. If you are a new client you must book for a new procedure.

How many sessions are necessary to complete remove a Tattoo?

The amount of sessions depends on the person’s age and type of skin, the person’s immune system, the age and depth of the tattoo, as well as the type of pigment that was used. There are tattoos that are easily removed with some sessions, and other types of tattoos might take up to 6 sessions or more. There is no way of predicting how many sessions an individual will need. Client usually see great results after one or two sessions. 

How long does eyebrows pigmentation take to heal?

It takes approximately 7 days to heal. In that time any redness will fade and the initial darkness of the eyebrows will begin to lighten. The color will lighten over about 30 days as it completely sets in.

Why is it necessary to do a touch up?

Touch up is necessary because everyone heals differently and therefore the outcomes vary. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the color. For exemple in brows: brow thickness by adding more strokes. In the touch up session, the final adjustments are made to assure the client’s satisfaction.

Can the touch up be done in less than four weeks?

This is not recommended because the healing needs to be completed before the final results are seen. Final adjustments should only be done after the initial work has stabilized.

Is it painful?

The level of discomfort is relatively minor. Some liken it to tweezing two to three hairs at the same time. Usually a topical anesthetic is used to numb the area being worked on. Topical anesthetics are safe and may contain lidocaine, tetracaine and epinephrine.

Redness and slight swelling in the area is common after the procedure. Often clients liken the feeling to a slight sunburn. Frequently, Tylenol is used to deaden any discomfort.

How long does those techniques last?

Generally Microblading / Powder Brows / Hairstrokes / Nano Brows lasts 10 to 24 months, depending on skin type (normal, oily, or dry) and age (young or mature). It is not permanent like a tattoo, because the pigments are not implanted so deeply into the skin. Skincare also affects the duration of the pigments. To maintain the brows, touch ups may be done every 8 to 18 months.

What if I don't like the result?

Carefully choose your practitioner. Compare the work of various artists before choosing. Discuss your expectations and desired outcome, including the shape, style, and color you wish with the artist. Realize that faces are never perfectly symmetrical. Adjustments may be made during touch up, such as pigment discoloration and color correction. Remember that Microblading / Powder Brows / Ombre Brows / Hair strokes / Nano Brows / Combination Brows / will eventually fade away if touch ups are not done.

What are some risks and complications with these procedures?

Proper procedures and precautions are used to ensure safe procedures. Both sterilized tools and disposable tools are used in a sanitized environment. When pre and post care instructions are followed the risk of complications are minimal. Allergic reactions to pigments are very rare, but sometimes occur. For this reason, those with sensitive skin and those senisitive to topical makeup products (gold , silver, nickel, or hair dyes), should be pigment patch tested a few days in advance of the procedure.
