How to Prepare for Your Appointment


If you have a preferred brow shape or style in mind, feel free to bring reference photos to your appointment. You may also arrive with your brows filled in as you normally wear them to help communicate your desired look. If you regularly wax or thread your eyebrows, please do so at least 72 hours prior to your appointment. 

Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours and caffeine the day of your appointment. Please avoid exercise the day of your appointment.

Avoid Botox, fillers, chemical peels, lasers, and other intensive facial treatments near the treatment area for at least 4 weeks prior to your appointment.

Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before your appointment. If you arrive with a sunburn or compromised skin in the treatment area, your appointment will need to be rescheduled and your booking fee will remain non-refundable.

If you have previous permanent makeup or microblading, the existing work must be evaluated and approved prior to booking. Clear photos may be submitted for review if you are traveling from a distance. Please email clear, makeup-free photos to Aperfect10studio@yahoo.com

 
 

What to Expect During Healing

Immediately following your appointment, the treated area will appear darker and more defined than the final healed result. This is completely normal. Over the following days, the area may feel slightly dry or tight as the healing process begins.

During healing, you may experience light flaking. Please allow any flaking to shed naturally and avoid picking, peeling, or rubbing the area. As the skin heals, the pigment may temporarily appear very light or faded before gradually becoming more visible again.

Complete healing takes approximately 6 weeks, at which time the true healed color can be evaluated. The pigment will soften and lighten throughout this process, so please be patient and allow your skin time to fully heal before judging the final result.

Aftercare

  • Avoid applying makeup directly to the treated area for 7-14 days, or until the skin has healed.
