Does it hurt?
Whilst topical anesthetic is used before and during the procedure, you may feel discomfort depending on your pain tolerance level. Some ladies fall asleep during, and some experience slight pain akin to having brow hairs plucked, and some feel the slight pressure but no pain at all. I recommend advanced planning to avoid having your appointment on days you are on your period as you will be more sensitive during this time.

How long does it take?
Generally around 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours. This includes time for paperwork and numbing.

How should I prepare for the appointment?
Please refer to ‘Pre+Post Care’ for detailed list.
- Bring along reference photos of your ideal brow shape.
- Bring along makeup products if desired, to touch up for “before and after” photos.
- Children under 18 are not allowed in the treatment room, it would be ideal to arrange for childcare.

How long does it take to heal?
Approximately 14 days for skin to heal on the surface, and 6 to 8 weeks for pigment to settle in the skin. There is no down time so you may resume work as usual, just without makeup on treated areas.

I have previously tattooed brows, can I have them redone?
We may or may not be able to work over previous tattoos, depending on how faded it is. You will be required to send a clear close up photo of your brows to determine if tattoo removal is needed.

How long will my cosmetic tattoo last?
Cosmetic tattoo will generally fade over time, with darker colours lasting longer than lighter toned colours. Feather brows can last for 12 to 18 months, and more saturated powder brows can last from 1 to 3 years. Lip and eye tattoo generally lasts 3 to 5 years. Eyeliner tattoo may last up to 7 years with fading over time.
Personal lifestyle is a factor as exposure to sun, sweat, facial products and facial treatments affects the pigment.
Certain medications can also interfere with pigment retention. It is very crucial to follow post-care treatment to get the best results.
However, no skin the the same and results may vary with individual clients and no guarantee will be made, but we do strive to ensure each client is happy with the work they receive.
