Eyebrow procedure may require a 3rd retouch on aged, sun damaged and difficult skin, also previous microblading cover up.

If you want the lip colour procedure and you suffer from cold sore ( herpes simplex ) You need to get prescription of acclivor from your GP, ask to have it on repeat prescription as you need to take it a week before the treatment, during healing and again for the retouch. we cannot guarantee you will not have a breakout. Any breakouts will cause unevenness of the pigment.

  • Lip colour can fade up to 75%

    ​

  • Lips can be very chapped a few days after the procedure.

    ​

  • Please do not pick at them as that will cause the pigment to unsettle and can cause scarring.

    ​

  • It is down to you to follow the correct aftercare given if you want the area to heal properly.

    ​

  • You will get some skin shedding over the weeks and will get patchiness- Do not worry, this is normal!

    ​

  • Sometimes it looks like the pigment has disappeared, don't worry, it will return.

  • Your natural pigment undertones will determine the colour outcome of the pigment, this is down to your own skin! 

  • Any colour corrections needed will be performed during your retouch procedure.

    ​

  • When you return for your top up 4-6 weeks later, after they have healed, you will see how your brows, Lips or eyes are going to be for the long term.

     SPF40 in the winter and SPF 50 in the summer,

  • Failing to wear SPF will cause the pigment to fade quickly, it is your responsibility to look after your skin once your treatment has finished.

Q) What happens during my treatment?​

A) After returning any forms and a thorough consultation, we would measure your brow design, lip or eye template.

There are a choice of pigment colours which we can discuss.

We would also talk about which eyebrow look would suit your face and skin type.

Q) Does the procedure hurt?​

A)  You may feel a little scratching / strobe sensation throughout the treatment and will feel some soreness towards then end. We will make you feel comfortable as much as possible throughout the treatment.

Everyone's skin differs.

Q) How does the eyebrow , eyeliner and lip micro pigment tattoo work?.​

A) The pigment is implanted into the upper layer of the Dermis by a disposable cartridge needles.

Q) Is it the same as microblading?​

A) We can still achieve hair strokes with the needle, In fact we can create more looks with different needle configurations.

Microblading has been around for a long time, it isn't a new procedure.

Microblading can be more traumatic to the skin as the blade is slicing into the skin, like all types of cosmetic eyebrow tattooing, it isn't suitable for everyone and having continuous top ups with the blades can cause permanent scarring.​
