Feathering Hairstrokes Microblading

Micropigmentation (semi-permanent makeup) procedures are affected by the “canvas” (your skin) that they are performed on. Lifestyle, medications, smoking, metabolism, facial surgery and other procedures, and age of skin all contribute to fading. The initial application is always applied conservatively because every person’s skin is different and the final color can only be precisely determined and adjusted during a follow-up appointment after the initial application has fully healed. Because of this, the micropigmentation process is not complete after the initial procedure. In all cases, a follow-up appointment is required 8 weeks after your initial application to fine tune and ensure the best result.

Though rare, infection is possible. If you see signs of infection such as persistent increased redness or swelling, fever, drainage, or oozing, contact your doctor immediately. 

Pre-Procedure Instructions

• Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E, niacin, or drink excessive alcohol 48-hours prior to and after your procedure.
• Do not take any prescription blood thinners 48-hours prior to and after your procedure.
• Discontinue any vitamin A skin care products (Retin-A, retinols) close to the  enhancement area at least two weeks prior to your procedure. We recommend NOT using these products over or around the treatment area after you receive Micropigmentation.  It could cause fading and distortion of hair strokes & color.
• Discontinue use of AHA (chemical exfoliation) skin care products close to the treatment area at least one week prior to your  procedure.
• No laser or electrolysis on or around the treatment area two week before & after prior to procedure.
• Do not have any chemical peels, dermabrasions, mesotherapy, or any other intense treatments which will cause faster skin cell rejuvenating and cause skin irritation three to four weeks before procedure.
• No Botox or fillers for two weeks prior before & after the procedure.
• Avoid tweezing, waxing, electrolysis, and coloring your brows for two weeks prior to the procedure. This will allow your technician the most flexibility to achieve optimal results.

Micropigmatation is NOT for everyone. Please review the outline below.  If any of the following apply, this procedure may not be for you.

If you have or are:

• Extremely oily skin and/or very large pores on your forehead (pigment may not  retain properly - the brows may fade quickly or strokes will appear fuzzy and blurred).
• Dark/solid existing permanent makeup  (tattoo removal may be necessary). 
• A smoker (pigment may not retain properly, colors may distort).
• Psoriasis in the treatment area.
• An auto-immune disease.
• Heart disease/Pacemaker 
• Diabetes type 1 or 2 (due to slow healing and infection, color may or may not retain well).
• Thyroid/Graves Disease (medication may cause pigment to not retain properly).
• Anemia (pigment may not retain properly).
• History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
• Currently undergoing chemotherapy.
• Pregnant or nursing. (You cannot have this service. No exceptions.)

The following medical conditions require a note from your doctor giving consent  

Diabetes Type 1 and 2, high blood pressure, auto-immune disease, thyroid/Graves disease. Any other medical condition that causes slow healing or a high risk of infection 

Topical Anesthetic Advice (Feathering Hair Stroke Microblading/Microshading/3D Waterline Eyeliner/Full Lip Color/Sclap Microblading/Pigment Removals)

• Allergic reaction can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure.  If you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately.  Allergic reaction response may show through redness, swelling, rash, blistering, dryness or any other symptoms associated with an allergic reaction.
• Numbness - We cannot accept responsibility if the area to be treated does not respond to the numbing cream.  Each individual is different according to skin type.  Some clients report the area to be completely numb, while others may experience some discomfort.
• Procedure - For semi-permanent makeup procedure, a numbing cream/gel/pad is used.  The products are formulated to be perfectly safe and can be purchased over the counter from any pharmacy/chemist.  The anesthetic is placed over the treatment area for 30-40 minutes then carefully removed prior to treatment.  As a result of the treatment, combined with the use of the anesthetic, you can expect to experience some redness/swelling that can last 1-4 days.  You should always follow your post procedure advice and after care for the best results.
