nano/ombre powder brows

---

 The main differences between microblading and nano brows are the tools and the technique. The biggest difference and main reason why many clients go for nano needling over microblading is the fact that nanoneedles cause significantly less trauma to the skin than the microblading tool.

 Permanent makeup is a minimally invasive procedure, so you can expect some discomfort depending on your pain threshold.  Prior to each treatment, a Topical 5% Lidocaine is used to numb the area and will be reapplied throughout the treatment.   Having the procedure during your menstrual cycle or hormone treatments may increase your sensitivity.  Take Tylenol (not Advil or Ibuprofen) to reduce the pain after the procedure.  Following the treatment, redness and slight swelling in the area is normal. 

 The entire process should take approximately 3 hours. 

Cosmetic tattooing fades over time.  Semi-Permanent makeup can last between 1 to 5 years depending on a number of factors:  skin type, lifestyle, age, metabolism, medications, medical condition, skin conditions, and pigment color/brand affect the longevity of the tattoo. Desired results such as darker colors will retain longer and lighter colors such as blondes will fade faster.  The UV (sun or tanning bed) can affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. Oily or problematic skin will not hold this pigment as well and may need a touchup sooner.  We recommend taking care of your brows by following the aftercare instructions and touch up your brows every 12-18 months (or as needed) to keep the color vibrant and keep the shape symmetrical. Touch-ups are normal and expected for Permanent Cosmetics.

*Please note that final results vary and can NOT be guaranteed due to the nature of skin as it heals. A follow-up appointment is recommended at 6-12 weeks where we can assess your pigment retention and make any changes necessary.*

In order for your new permanent makeup to heal properly and look the very best following all pre-treatment and aftercare instructions is essential!

Before your first session, your artist will offer a patch test on your skin to make sure you’re not allergic to the pigment ink.  You will achieve much better results if you properly prepare for your permanent makeup procedure. The treated area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated.

​

Here’s how to get your skin ready for your permanent makeup procedure:

• Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure
• Do not tan two weeks prior or have a sunburned face
• Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment
• Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior to treatment
• Exercise 24 hours prior
• Do not have Botox 4 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 which will reduce pigment retention:

• Do not drink alcohol 24 – 48 hours before your tattoo
• Do not consume coffee before your procedure
• Take blood thinners such as aspirin, vitamin E, Niacin, Ibuprofen
• For more detailed information, please read our Pre-Treatment + AfterCare Instructions provided.

1- 2 Days following the treatment the area will look a lot darker than anticipated, the color will lighten as your eyebrows heal and new skin develops in the area.   You may also have swelling, soreness, and redness.  Once the skin begins to heal, it may look flaky, or scabbing can occur.  As the damaged skin lifts the pigment will appear lighter than immediately after the procedure.

​

It will take up to 4 weeks for your eyebrows to heal.

​

The healing process is considered complete after 6 weeks, depending on your skin and age.  Remember everyone heals differently!

Common side effects of semi-permanent makeup techniques include swelling, itchiness, and redness. These side effects should resolve within a few days.  Be mindful of the risk of an allergic reaction to the pigment or numbing agent. Let your technician know if you have sensitive skin.

 Yes! The treatment is safe as long as it is done by a properly trained and certified professional that follows the proper sanitation and sterilization procedures.  To assure the client that proper sanitation methods are being used, we use manufactured sealed and 100% disposable items throughout the treatment. The used tool is disposed of in a sharps container once the treatment is completed. In addition, we sanitize all areas the client will come in contact with using a hospital grade disinfectant and apply barrier film to protect all surfaces from contamination during a procedure. By performing all treatments in this manner we feel that the health and safety of our clients' is being safeguarded to the highest degree. 

 Your transformation is not completed until after the complimentary touch-up perfecting session.  The Touch-up session is performed after 6-12 weeks from your initial appointment.  The pigment will lighten 20-40% during the healing process and the pigment may completely disappear or seem patchy. This is completely normal and the reason for the perfecting session.  At this appointment, I will assess the shape, color retention, any areas needing modification, and how your skin has healed to perfect your brows accordingly.  A color boost is recommended every 1-2 years to keep the pigment color looking fresh. Skin cells also turn over more frequently on oilier skin types causing the color to fade quicker than drier skin types. For oilier skin types more frequent touch-ups may be required. 

 If you have had your eyebrows previously tattooed, we request that you email us clear photos of your brows or do an online facetime consultation for approval BEFORE your appointment booking for an Eyebrow Correction.  This way we can discuss price, your options and schedule sufficient time for your treatment. Any client coming to me from a different artist is consider a new client at full price.
