Permanent Cosmetic procedures are a 2 session process.  The Second Session is necessary to perfect the cosmetic tattoo and build color.   Some guests have conditions which may require a third session and will be charged accordingly.

​

​

Here is what you can expect following your appointment:

​

​*The pigment will oxidize and become a little darker during the week as the area heals. During this time, some guests may experience flakey, uneven healing and the pigment will appear very light under the areas of peeling or flaking. Do not pick.

*Expect the pigment to appear very light days 7-14 because the skin is healing over the tattoo. Don't panic!

*The pigment will resurface during the next 30 days resulting in the anticipated result which WILL BE 30-50% softer (lighter) and more natural looking than the initial service.  At this time, DO NOT expect brows to look as dark [or lips to look as bright] as they did immediately following the procedure!

THIS IS A PROCESS. BE PATIENT with the resurfacing of the pigment and let the procedure have adequate healing over the course of 30+ days.​ 

​*Healing is specific to each client.  

​

Some residual swelling is normal for ALL procedures and most swelling subsides on day 1-3.

​

Do not use makeup, exfoliating products or creams including sunscreen on healing areas for 10 days.

​

Wait 5 days after an eyeliner procedure to use a NEW tube of mascara.

 

Brows: You may still need to use brow powder or pencil even after the healed results.  This is an enhancement to your natural brows...low maintenance, not no maintenance.

​

Lips: Pigment is bright immediately following the procedure.  The color will fade to a soft blushing.  Once healed, lipstick or stain may be used for a more dramatic look.​

​

Your permanent make up WILL fade prematurely if any of the following apply:

*consistent exposure to sun light

*oily skin

*anti-aging creams, RetinA/retinol products, acidic cleansers used on a regular basis

*chemical peels, laser treatments, micro needling (any exfoliating facials) received on a regular basis

*excessive sweating

​

Great retention is achieved by following the aftercare provided as well as instructions for proper care.

 

Each time a procedure is done, the pigment will have less retention due to scar tissue.  

 

At some point, we may no longer be able to perform services due to pigment over saturation.  In this case, a laser removal or pigment lightening procedure is necessary before receiving another cosmetic tattoo. 

​

As we age our skin changes, becoming thinner and delicate.  More mature skin may not retain pigment as well as younger skin.

​

A cosmetic tattoo will look powdered as it ages... this is universal with all permanent makeup procedures.

​

It is important to realize that you will need a color boost every 12-18 months to maintain its fresh natural appearance.

Fading will happen after each procedure.

 

There is NO GUARANTEE made to the final outcome of a permanent cosmetics procedure.

Your skin, lifestyle and after care play a huge roll in your results. 

​

Remember, no two sides of the face are the same. "Brows are sisters, not twins"
