​

Q. Is there any down time for the healing process?

A. Yes. We suggest not planning your appointment within 14 days or less of any occasion in which you would sweat in the brow area. Keeping sweat/dirt/debris/away from the brows in the first 14 days is very important for proper healing.

Initially the brows will appear 1-2 shades darker than the target pigment. Also during the process the skin swells, causing the brows to look thicker than the end healed result will be. Each day the pigment will lighten, and the brows will shrink up to 30% within one week. There may also be some peeling and/or scabbing as the skin regenerates on top of the treatment. The brows will be fully healed in about 6-10 weeks (depending on skin type).

Over the years, the brow treatments will continue to fade out.

We suggest the yearly touch ups after the brows have faded at least 50%. 

​

Q. Am I a candidate ?

A. You are NOT a candidate if you are/have any of the following:

• Pregnant or nursing.

• Large pores, very oily skin. Very textured skin.

• Using products with retinal (must remain off of it for at least 7 days prior, and during the treatment healing process).

• Have any skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema and diagnosed rashes or blisters on the site that is to be treated.

• Allergies to makeup or color pigment.

• Have any transmittable blood conditions like HIV or Hepatitis

• Under the age of 18

• Have skin healing disorders

• Eyelift or blepharoplasty: Must wait 3 months post procedure.

​

**IMPORTANT WARNING**

-Taking Plan B Contraceptive within the first 7 days of your procedure will result in 100% loss of pigment!

-When having laser treatments such as laser hair removal, you MUST tell the service provider that you have micro pigmentation within your brow area and THEY MUST BE COVERED!

​

Q. Is the treatment painful?

A. Our services have very minimal pain. Some compare it to the feeling of a tattoo, some have said it feels like tweezing. Regardless, we do apply some numbing cream before and during the process in order to help alleviate any possible pain. Often, some of our clients fall asleep during our appointments.

​

Q. If I had previous manual Microblading strokes done, could I get Nano or Combo Brows?

A. No problem! We can use machine work over any previous manual Microblading work at your yearly touch ups.

Most people even have less scabbing and/or swelling with our machine work. 

With all touch ups, your brows should be at least 50% faded prior to coming in for yearly touch ups. You can send us pics to meabeautystudio@gmail.com of your eyebrows if you are unsure if your brows have faded enough.

​

Q. What should I expect during the healing process?

A.   

- Following your procedure, your technician will apply the ointment to your brows to help protect the treatment area.

- The day of the treatment: Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid every hour, and rinse and cleanse your brows before bedtime with a gentle facial cleanser.

​

Days 1-7: Wash & Moisturize

- Gently cleanse your brows twice AM/PM with a gentle facial cleanser

- Apply ointment to the treated area after each cleanse

​

Days 1-14: Avoid activities that would involve sweating, debris, and exfoliation to the eyebrow treated area. (More in depth info below)

​

TOUCH UP APPOINTMENTS

Microblading/Machine Strokes/Nano Brows is a two part procedure, and the second appointment must be done 6-8 weeks following the initial appointment. This is a custom designed brow and you may require several touch ups to ensure the skin retains the pigment and you achieve your desired look. Your first touch up is included in the price of the initial procedure, but all other touch ups are priced upon consultation.

FINAL APPEARANCE CAN TAKE 6-8 WEEKS.​

• The complete healing process takes 6-8 weeks. At 6-8 weeks the true and final color of the tattoo will show. It is only after 6-8 weeks that a touchup to the tattoo can be done.

• Please note that your tattoo will be softer and not as crisp when healed.

• Note that results will vary with each individual, you can expect to see your final appearance up to 6-8 weeks post your final touch-up visit.

​

Q. What is required before coming in for my treatment?

​

PRE-CARE - Must follow prior to your appointment:

• Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure

• No retinol usage 30 days before and after the treatment

• Do not tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face/skin

• Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to treatment

• Do not work out the day of the procedure

• Do not have botox 3 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.

• Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before 

• Do not consume coffee or any caffeine before your procedure

• Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)

 

Q. What is required after the treatment?

​

POST CARE AVOID FOR 30 DAYS:

Pools, jacuzzis, tanning, excess sweating, facials, and saunas should be avoided for a period of at least 10 days or until area is fully healed. Skin creams and products containing Retin-A, AHA, or any kind of skin peel must ever not be used directly on the area as they will fade and possibly distort your brows. Sun blocks should always be applied to the healed area (SPF 60 recommended) when staying out in the sun for an extended period of time. Until your brows are healed, wear a brimmed hat in the sun.

 

Q. What other important things do I need to know?

GOOD TO KNOW:

Always avoid laser treatments over the treated area (Fraxel Laser, IPL) because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns. Use of antibiotics and hormonal therapy can lead to a faster pigment fading. Always protect the eyebrows from the sun with SPF (not during the first 7 days).
