Brow Care
To achieve the perfect results, please carefully read through these Pre & Post Care guidelines.
Things to consider ~
All forms of cosmetic tattooing can cause redness or swelling. Your initial results will appear darker than desired but will fade 20-40% during healing.
We ask that you plan your session accordingly for Eyebrows, lips, and liner. If you have any major events or vacations planned, it is wise to schedule appropriately to allow for healing time.
Healing varies with every client. Your freshly pigmented skin will appear bold at first and go through a healing process. Things like scabbing, redness, swelling and peeling are all expected. During your healing process, it is important you reach out to your artist with any questions as to keep at ease.
Pre-Care
• No intense exercise 12 hours before Microblading/Eyeliner

If you are scheduled for lip micro pigmentation, and have a history of cold sores, mouth ulcers or fever blisters, it is likely that your immune system will react to the procedure. Please be proactive in having you physician prescribe a antiviral medication such as Valtrex. It is important to allow this medication to be present in your system 2-3 days before your session. Please advise with your artist and doctor with any concerns.
