Does It Hurt?
Some clients find the procedure a little uncomfortable while others report no discomfort at all. Strong topical anesthetic cream and gel are used prior to and during the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible.
Can I get any permanent make-up procedure If I am pregnant or nursing?
No, and it’s best practice to wait until you are no longer nursing. If you book your appointment and you have these contraindications, your appointment will be canceled and your deposit will be loss.
How long does microshading last?
Ombré brows are semi-permanent and can last between 1.5 – 3 years. A touch up is recommended every 12 months to keep your brows looking fresh.
Clients that choose a softer look/lighter color shade initially or those who did not follow the after care instructions properly may require more frequent touch ups.
Factors that will cause your brow tattoo to fade faster:
• Iron deficiency
• Sun exposure
• Exfoliants
• Exposure to salt water
• Vigorous activities that cause you to sweat such as working out.
How long does it take to heal?
The complete healing process takes approximately 4-6 weeks.
Immediately after your microshading procedure and in the first 10 days, your brows will appear significantly darker and defined than perhaps your desired look. It may continue to get darker over the next few days as scabs begin to form, however this is not an accurate indication of the finished and healed result. Your brow color will fade 30-50% as the scabs fall off within 3-10 days. In some cases, the scabs may take longer to heal and fall off.
DO NOT PICK YOUR SCABS. The pigment is within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely. If your brow starts itching do NOT scratch. For relief clean your brows as discussed in your aftercare method and blot gently. Everyone heals differently and what works on one client may not be effective on another so please do not compare your results.
When do I need to come back for a touch-up on my brows?
6-8 weeks after your initial brow procedure.
It is your choice to come back or not, but this process is a 2-part process.
After your first procedure your body starts to heal itself. This involves your brows scabbing, peeling and flaking off. After this process the skin looks very light, as if it has disappeared. The color starts to come back, but you will loose ink during this time. Losing ink takes the brows out of its initial shape. Even though the brows are both on your face, it doesn’t heal exactly the same. The follow up appointment is to add any ink that you loss and to remeasure to get them back to looking as close to perfect as possible.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
Yes. There is a non-refundable deposit that will go toward the overall cost of the procedure that is required to book any procedure at Vee.I.P Beauty. The deposit will be deducted from the total cost of your initial procedure and the remaining balance will be due on the day of your appointment.
How long does microshading take?
