Cosmetic Brow Process
Step 1 - Consultation & brow mapping
Consultation is key! During your consultation we will go over your consultation form you completed prior to your appointment. I explain the full procedure, aftercare & you can ask any questions! I will determine which brow technique, colour & shape is most suitable & desired.
Your brow shape is determined especially for you, based off your facial features, brow hair & desires. I take my time to create your dream brows & make sure you are happy before proceeding.

Step 2 - Numbing
I like to make you as comfortable as possible!
Once we are 100% happy with your brow shape I will apply a numbing agent to your brow area for ten minutes (this is usually a good time to use the bathroom).

Step 3 - Tattooing
This is when the magic starts to happen! I start to layer pigment into the skin gradually building colour density & allowing pigment to soak into the skin with a few ''pigment masks''.
This part of the procedure can take between 50-90 minutes.

Step 4 - The Reveal
Perhaps my favourite part of the procedure, the big reveal! Usually by this point you have had a snooze, woken up & are very eager to see your new brows! Seeing your face light up really is so rewarding for me!
Step 5 - Aftercare
A recap on how to care for your brows in the next 10 days of your healing phase. 70% of your healed result is dependent on your aftercare & I will look to seeing your healed brows in 6 weeks for your touch up.
The healing Process
Your eyebrows will go through a healing phase & will be fully healed between 4-6 weeks, which is when you will return for your perfecting touch up session.
- The day after your treatment & for a few days the colour will appear darker as it begins to heal.
- After approximately 5 days your brows will be at the flaky stage... Do NOT pick, scratch or pull, this will pull pigment out of the skin & cause scar tissue damage, resulting in patchy brows & skin that cannot be implanted with pigment at the perfecting touch up session.
- Once flaking is complete, there will still be a nearly invisible layer of skin. This will make your color appear faded. Within the first two weeks of flaking you will notice some of the colour coming back through as the skin continues to repair itself. It is normal to see a few strokes or pigment fade and even disappear from the skin.
- After your 42 days of healing you can come back to get your touch up. The touch up is to go over the strokes or shading again, replace any pigment that may have disappeared and potentially go slightly darker as we can add but not take away.
- Your touch up will ensure the longevity of your color. Your touch up appointment should be no longer than 3 months after your initial appointment.
Aftercare
You may have lymph fluid which is a clear fluid that oozes from the area after your treatment. Lymph fluid becoming dry and crusty on the treated area needs to beavoided, so gently blot the area with your sterile saline pads to absorb any lymphfluid (make sure you use a clean side each time.) Do this 4 times before you go to bed on the hour after your appointment (day of treatment).
- Day 2-10 - Wash your face gently using a gentle foaming cleanser (not in the shower) AM and PM only! This will remove bacteria and prevent infection. Remove all soap with warm water, NOT hot or cold.
- Pat eyebrows dry with a clean face cloth, paper towel or tissue - NO rubbing.
Do not use foaming cleansers containing acids (glycolic, lactic, AHA or any other
harsh products/ingredients). These should never be used over your cosmetic tattoo. - Allow your eyebrows to air dry after patting them dry for five minutes. Your eyebrows should be 100% dry prior to this step. Never put aftercare ointment on wet or damp eyebrows, (your eyebrows must be kept dry for 10 days remember.)
- Apply a small amount of aftercare ointment provided by using a clean cotton bud, spread over the area sparingly AM + PM. (Do not saturate the eyebrows, apply just enough to moisturise.)
