Microblading

Please read the following advice carefully:

• Permanent Makeup procedure normally requires multiple treatment sessions. For best results, clients will be required to return for at least one re-touch appointment (some may need to return twice for perfecting touch-up session). This will take 4-8 weeks after the initial procedure. Those with oily skin may require an additional touch-up. Please be aware that color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper immediately and few days after the initial procedure. Color will reduce by 30-50%.

• If numbing cream is used during the procedure, sensitivity or discomfort may still be felt. Skin may be red and/or swollen after procedure.

• Do not drink alcohol 24 hours prior to the treatment.

• Although extremely rare, there might be an immediate or delayed allergic reaction to the pigment.

• Allergic reactions to anesthetic can occur. It is the client's responsibility to schedule a patch test at least 2 weeks prior to the procedure. By signing this form you have received the patch test prior to your appointment or you understand and was notified of the possible risk and dangers associated without taking the patch test associated with the application of each tattoo.

• Do not shape or wax your brows before the procedure. Your technician will shape your brows during the procedure

• No electrolysis for at least 5 days before the procedure 

• Patients prone to cold sores/fever blisters should take an anti-viral prior to treatment 

• Hormone therapies can affect pigmentation and/or cause sensitivity

• Discontinue use of any brow-growth or eyelash growth serums like Latisse, as it can cause sensitivity/affect pigment at least 4 weeks prior to your procedure.

• Fillers or Botox should be done 4 weeks prior to your procedure and 4 weeks after your procedure.

• Do not work out the day of the procedure as the body heat expands the pores.

• No sun, sweating or tanning prior to the procedure. If you are sunburned in the treatment area, we will not be able to perform the procedure.

• You must be off of Retin-A, Retinol, or Retinoids for 7 days prior to your procedure and avoid using on or around the area for 30 days after. If used before 30 days, it can cause the pigments to fade prematurely.

• You have to be off of Accutane for 1 year.

• Avoid alcohol or caffeine prior to your procedure, this will minimize any oozing or swelling after the procedure.

• Getting a procedure while on your menstrual cycle can make you hypersensitive at the procedure.

(Please reschedule before 72 hours before coming in to avoid additional fees to reschedule).

• Lip Cold Sores: clients with a history of cold sores need to use an anti-viral medications 1000mg L-lysine or (Zovirax, Valtrex, Acyclovir) 5 days prior and 5 days post lip procedure to minimize the riskof an outbreak. Treatment cannot be performed if there is an active outbreak.
