Can you make my eyebrows identical?
Eyebrows are sisters not twins, therefore they will never be 100% identical as your face shape is different from one side to the other. We will pencil your brows on before the treatment and make them as symmetrical as possible. The procedure won’t start until we are both happy.
Do I need a patch test?
Yes. The test patch must be applied at least 48 hours before the treatment to minimise the risk of any reactions.
How long does it last and do I need maintenance appointments?
Micropigmentation typically lasts anywhere from 12 – 18 months, depending on factors such as skin type, aftercare, and individual lifestyle. Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain results.
How long does the procedure take?
The entire process usually takes around 3 hours, including the consultation, design mapping, and the actual treatment.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
You must be over the age of 18, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours before the procedure. You may need to avoid other medications/topical medications beforehand, therefore we will supply a comprehensive pre-treatment advice sheet.
How will you decide which brow design suits me?
We will carefully measure and map your facial features to create a bespoke brow design. We consider your preferences, facial structure, and natural features, to achieve the desired outcome and will work with you to decide which style will best suit you.
Is a top up essential?
This is a two-part treatment, so a top up is vital. The top up is done 6 – 12 weeks after the initial procedure. You are likely to experience some fading after the first treatment through the healing process – this will be corrected at your second treatment (the top up).
Is Micropigmentation suitable for everyone?
Whilst it is suitable for many, it is not suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain skin conditions, or are prone to keloid scarring.
Is the procedure painful?
While discomfort can vary from person to person, most clients report minimal pain during the procedure.
Is there any downtime?
There is minimal downtime after Micropigmentation- some redness and slight swelling may occur, but it should subside. You should be able to resume your regular activities immediately.
What happens after my treatment - aftercare advice
- You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area, this is normal and should subside within a few hours
- You may get some swelling; this is normal and should subside within 2 days.
- In some cases there may be slight bruising, this should last no longer than 1 week.
- Remember your colour will be darker and more prominent for 5 - 7 days on average.
- As soon as your procedure is finished, your body will start to heal. The skin will close, and you may see a thin crust which will protect the area whilst the skin heals.
- Once the crust comes off, the pigment will be revealed, in a lighter form than the initially implanted colour. The colour will continue to change and develop until 4 - 6 weeks. (In some cases, up to 3 months)
- Please be aware you may notice areas of lighter colour or no colour at all, this is a very normal part of the healing process and why we have a follow-up as part of your treatment.
- After the procedure, please keep a cotton round or tissue with you and blot the area every hour, this is to remove any excess lymph that may naturally drain off after the procedure.
- After 6 hours, wet a cotton pad with clean water and wipe the brows 2 - 3 times. There may be yellow staining on the cotton pad this is completely normal.
- If you have dry skin and have been advised after 2 - 3 days start applying the balm given. A rice-sized amount across the brow area. PAT into the brow DO NOT rub.
- DO NOT PICK ANY SCABS
- Do not tweeze for at least a week, waxing and threading should not take place for at least 2 weeks.
- Do not apply makeup to the area till fully healed.
What is the Hair Stroke method?
Each hair is created individually to create the illusion of thicker, fluffier brows. The hairstroke brow is neat and clean, creating a very natural look. Shading can also be added to create Combination brows, which combines strokes and shading.
What is the Ombré method?
The Ombré brow is a powder-finished brow, with no sharp or heavily defined lines. Instead, it creates a soft colour through the body of the brow and a deeper, darker tail, hence why it is known as Ombré brow.
