​​
As with any PMU procedure, some clients may require additional appointments to achieve their desired look. Please do not expect your permanent makeup to heal perfectly after the first session. Be patient during your 10-day healing period and ensure you are following the post-appointment requirements.
It is important to understand the 10-day healing process is just that, a process. It will change in appearance from day to day. It can at first appear very saturated (and you may even think too dark; this stage lasts up to two weeks), then it will feel dry or scabby, then you will feel like they have faded, before it reaches it's fully healed result.
​
For brows, do not pick the area and let any dryness and/or scabbing fall off naturally. If flakes are picked prematurely missing hair stokes will result and cause patchy brows which can lead to scarring. Your brow tattoo will take up to four (4) weeks to completely heal. When the flaking comes off the hair strokes may seem faint this is because a fresh layer of skin has healed over the brow tattoo. Give your brows a few weeks and the hair strokes will become clearer. Colour will continue to change on a daily basis until all healing is complete at the 4-week mark. You may experience itchiness in the brows after the 10 days for up to 2 months due to the healing process of the dermal layer. Not everyone’s hair stroke brows can heal clean and crisp. Hair strokes for oilier skin types tend to heal more solid and powdery while drier skin types tend to heal more crisp and defined. In addition, clients who bleed more tend to require additional touch ups since the blood pushes pigment out during the PMU service. ​​​
WHAT TO EXPECT
WILL MY SERVICE HURT?
I use a topical numbing cream and continue to apply numbing cream throughout the procedure to make sure you're comfortable.
TOUCHUPS
It takes a full 4 weeks for the color to settle. It is your responsibility to book your touch up appointments.
​
Touch ups are typically scheduled within 4-6 weeks of the initial appointment. Touch up appointments are used to perfect the brows and add density. This is a process and some clients may need multiple sessions to achieve their desired result. Maintenance appointments are required to maintain desired results. Depending on your skin type, maintenance appointments should be scheduled, on average, every 9 – 24 months.
​
Clients returning for a touch up, whom have visibility neglected to adhere to the post-appointment requirements, and have significant fading may be subject to additional charges. Clients will be advised if such charges are applicable, prior to any service being completed.
​
It is also important to note that all skin types are different. Some client’s skin may have a harder time retaining pigment and may require additional sessions.
