Eyebrows FAQ

IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?
You are getting tattoo so some discomfort is expected. However, the pain level is very minimal to none. A topical numbing cream is applied. Which usually reduces the pain level to none. Please note that everyone’s pain is different. Topical anesthetics work better for some than others. The numbing cream may not work as well on you if you are a smoker or if you have scar tissue on your brows from previous tattoo work. Sensitivity to pain is also increased during your menstrual cycle.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAL? WILL I BE ABLE TO GO TO WORK
Yes, you will be able to go back to work. The service offered do not have any down time. For eyebrows, healing can take up to 14 days. For lip Blush, It can take up to 7 days. It is important to follow the aftercare instructions, especially not applying makeup to the treated area, until it is completely healed. This is to carefully ensure the best result.

CAN I GET THEM WET OR WORKOUT?
In order to reduce the risk of complications or infection, it is best to keep the enhanced area dry for at least a week. This also helps in retaining the pigmentation and you’ll end up with poor results.

IS THE SECOND (TOUCHUP) APPOINTMENT NECESSARY?
It is highly recommended to ensure the shape, but this also depends on how well your skin retains the pigment.

IF MY BROWS WERE DONE BY A DIFFERENT ARTIST, WILL MY SERVICE BE CONSIDERED A TOUCH UP?
No, If your brows were done by a different artist, your service will be considered an initial appointment. Corrections done on previous work can be complicated, time consuming and results cannot be guaranteed.

WHY DO I HAVE TO AVOID ALCOHOL AND CAFFEINE?
Caffeine raises blood pressure and increases the blood flow. Alcohol is an anticoagulant, which slows down the body’s process of making clots. These two together means bleeding and less optimal results for you.
