SEMI-PERMANENT EYEBROWS

Certain conditions may affect how appropriate the treatment is. Please declare all relevant history as some conditions contraindicate the treatment.

Permanent Makeup or Cosmetic Tattooing is a technique that applies permanent pigment into the dermis (skin) that allows a desires look to be achieved that resembles makeup. It can also be used to hide scars or help with an uneven hairline. This is performed under a sterile environment.

Permanent makeup uses iron oxides that pigments the skin. This pigmentation can last between 1-5 years. The Pigment will gradually fade over time, However for the most people it will not fade completely. “Touch ups” of permanent makeup are advised usually after 6-8 weeks in order to achieve desired results.

With every treatment there are risks involved. It is important that you understand the risks prior to undergoing treatment. Ensuring you provide a full medical history can reduce these risk ,but even so there may be unforeseen risks that are presented. If you have any concerns regarding these risks, do not hesitate to contact your Healthcare Professional.

ACCEPTING MY POLICIES AND GOING WITH THE PROCEDURE INDICATES THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE ABOVE.

POSSIBLE RISKS, HAZARDS OR COMPLICATIONS:

• Pain: There can be pain even after the topical anesthetic has been used. Anesthetics work better on some people than others.
• Infection: Infection is very unusual. The areas treated must be kept clean and only freshly cleaned hands should touch the areas.
• Uneven Pigmentation: This can result from poor healing, infection, bleeding or many other cases. Your follow up appointment will likely correct any uneven appearance.
• Asymmetry: Every effort will be made to avoid asymmetry but our faces are not symmetrical so adjustments may be needed during the follow up session to correct any unevenness.
• Excessive Swelling or Bruising: Some people Bruise and swell more than others. Ice packs may help. Bruising and swelling typically disappears within 1-5 days. In most cases, people do not bruise or swell at all.
• Anesthesia: Topical anesthetics are used to numb the area to be tattooed. Lidocaine, Prilocaine, Benzocaine, Tetracaine and Epinephrine in a cream or gel form are typically used. If you are allergic to any of these please inform me now.
• MRI: Because pigments used in permanent cosmetic procedures contain inert oxides, a low-level magnet may be required if you need to be scanned by an MRI machine. You must inform your technician of any tattoos or permanent cosmetics you may have.
• Fever Blisters: If you are prone to cold sores or fever blisters (Herpes simplex), there is a high probability that you will get them. It is advised that you call your doctor for a prescription antiviral to help prevent this from occurring.
• Allergic Reaction: There is a very small possibility of an allergic reaction. You may take a 5–7-day patch test to determine this.
• Anaphylaxis: A severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. The reaction can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to an allergen.

The alternative to these possibilities is to use cosmetics and not undergo the permanent cosmetics procedure.

Cancellation Policy:
Our goal to provide quality care in a timely manner. In order to do so, we have had to implement an appointment/cancellation policy.

Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person the opportunity to have access to timely care. This policy enables us to better utilize available appointments for our clients.

When making a booking, it is necessary to provide a valid credit or debit card to secure your appointment. To ensure the appointment is secured, a non-refundable booking fee must be paid. Rest assured that your card information will be kept confidential. Once your service is finished, you have the choice to pay using the card on file, zelle or with cash. If you opt for card payment, a 2.6% processing fee will be added. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide a minimum of a 3-day notice. A reminder will be sent 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time. However, cancelling after the 24-hour reminder will result in a cancellation fee equivalent to 50% of the remaining service cost.

Tardy Policy:
By arriving late, you may inconvenience other clients who arrive punctually. Clients are given a 10-minute grace period, but if you exceed this timeframe, you will receive notifications via text and email informing you that your appointment has been cancelled and will result in a cancellation fee equivalent to 50% of the remaining service cost. The deposit you made cannot be refunded and cannot be transferred for future use. If you wish to reschedule, you will need to submit a new non-refundable deposit when booking a new appointment. Each client is afforded only two opportunities to adhere to these policies. Failure to comply will result in being barred from booking any future appointments.

Small Details Make a BIG Difference
What to do Before & After your Permanent Makeup Procedure

 

-Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure.
-Do not tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face/skin.
-Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to treatment.
-Do not work out the day of the procedure.
-Do not have botox 3 weeks prior.
-Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior (natural blood thinners)
-Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:

Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo
Do not consume coffee or any caffeine before your procedure
Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)

Now that you know what NOT to do, it’s time to share my secret recipe for amazing PMU results! I love a good acronym so here’s one to help you out, just think of A - W - M which stands for Absorb, Wash, Moisturize! 

The day of the treatment: Absorb

Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until oozing has stopped.  Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymph.

Days 1-7: Wash

Wash daily to remove bacteria and dead skin. (Don't worry...THIS DOES NOT REMOVE THE PIGMENT!)

Gently wash your procedure area each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap like Dial Soap, Cetaphil or Neutrogena. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the affected area. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliants.  

Days 1-7: Moisturize

Apply a rice grain amount of Aftercare ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put the ointment on a wet or damp tattoo. 

AWM should have you covered, but here are some extra tips to help with a smooth and easy recovery:

Important Reminders

-Use a fresh pillowcase
-Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of colour.
-No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks
-Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for one week
-Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks after the procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors.
-Avoid heavy sweating and long hot showers for the first 10 days.
-Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days
-Avoid swimming, lakes, hot tubs for the first 10 days
-Avoid topical makeup including sunscreen on the area
-DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area.

Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare routine you will have much better results with your microblading procedure. Don’t forget your new favourite acronym: AWM - Absorb, Wash, Moisturize!
