MICROBLADING & SMP

MICROBLADING is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that fills in thin eyebrow areas to make them look fuller. Unlike a traditional tattoo, which is permanent, the coloring from microblading may last for up to 3 years. This is because microblading uses different tools and a smaller amount of pigment.PREPARATION : Avoid caffeine beverages or alcohol on the day of the procedure.Tinting brows before the appointment.No tanning or sunbathing for 3 days before the appointment.No waxing or plucking eyebrows within 2 days beforehand.No chemical peels and other intense facial treatments for at least 2 to 3 weeks before the procedure.Wash and style hair before the procedure, as the brows must not come into contact with water for at least 7 days.PROCEDURE :The process involves using a hand-held microblade tool with needles. Microblading involves breaking into the epidermis layer of the skin.AFTERCARE: Gently wash over the eyebrows with a fingertip, using antibacterial soap and water for about 10 seconds, rinsing, and then patting dry.Use a minimal amount of moisturizing ointment.Keep the brows away from water for 7–10 days, which includes not taking long showers or swimming.Avoid putting makeup on the brow area while it is actively healing to keep the area as clean as possible.Not picking at the scabs.Avoid direct sunlight or tanning for at least 4 weeks after the procedure. Don't use facial scrubs or peels for at least 4 weeks after the procedure.BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOGRAPHS Microblading artists will photograph their work before and after the treatment for many reasons including client records, insurance purposes, and social media. Before photographs are also necessary to assess the healed results during the perfecting session. We recognize the importance of protecting our client’s privacy and edit the photos to display only the treated area.RESULTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED Healed results will vary with each individual client. The final shape is completely your decision, and the treatment will not begin until you approve the shape. While strictly adhering to the aftercare instructions is crucial, we have no control over the healing process and make NO GUARANTEES of how the healed results will look. The average two treatments is enough to obtain a natural result, but using a pencil or powder may still be necessary to achieve your desired brow. Individuals who are looking for a more intense result, must understand that it may require additional sessions (charged accordingly).N/A
