Important Information

If you've had your brows done somewhere else previously, please note... I don't work over another artists previous work unless it is at least 90% faded, which is pretty much gone. There are more challenges and risks when working over someone else's work.

I do need a clear, bright picture to determine if it's something I'm willing to take on.

Important information needed to make an informed choice of whether or not to undergo the Permanent Makeup procedure. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Although Permanent Makeup is effective in most cases, no guarantee can be made that a specific client will benefit from the procedure.

This is the process of inserting pigment into the papillary dermis. It is a form of tattooing, and although touch ups are needed, it is considered a permanent marking.

All instruments that enter the skin or come in contact with body fluids are disposable, and disposed of after use.

Cross contamination guidelines are strictly adhered to.

Generally, the results are excellent. However, a perfect result is not a realistic expectation. It is usual and advised to expect a touch-up after healing is completed, which is usually around 8 weeks after first procedure. Initially the color will appear more vibrant or darker compared to the end result. Usually within 5-7 days the color will fade 20-50%, soften and look more natural. The pigment is permanent and will fade over time. Additional touch-ups are likely needed within 2-3+ years.

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

There is a possibility of an allergic reaction to numbing agent and/or pigments. A patch test is offered however it does not ensure a client will not have an allergic reaction.

*If you would like the patch test, we will schedule that at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Possible Risks, Hazards, or Complications

Pain: There can be pain even after the topical anesthetic has been used. Anesthetics work better on some people than on others.

Infection: Infection is very unusual. The areas treated must be kept clean, and only freshly cleaned hands should touch the areas. I will have detailed Aftercare instructions for you to follow.

Uneven Pigmentation: This can result from poor healing, infection, bleeding, or many other causes. Your follow-up appointment will likely correct any uneven appearance.

Asymmetry: Every effort will be made to avoid asymmetry, but out faces our not symmetrical so adjustments may be needed during the follow-up session to correct any unevenness.

Excessive Swelling or Bruising: Some people bruise or swell more than others. Ice packs may help reduce the swelling. The swelling or bruising typically disappears in 1-5 days. Some people don’t bruise or swell at all.

Anesthetics: Topical anesthetics are used to numb the area to be tattooed. Lidocaine, Prilocaine, Benzocaine, Tetracaine, and/or Epinephrine cream and/or liquid are used. If you are allergic to any of these, please inform me now.

MRI: Because pigments used in Permanent Cosmetic procedures contain inert oxides, a low level magnet may be required if you need to be scanned by an MRI machine. You must inform your MRI Technician of any tattoos or permanent cosmetics.

Allergic Reaction: Although an allergy is unusual, there is always a possibility of an unknown allergy to the pigments and materials used during procedure.

The alternative to these possibilities is to use traditional cosmetics and NOT undergo the Permanent Makeup procedure.
