Be prepared to lie very still for a long period of time. Many patients bring headphones to listen to music during their appointment.
Wear comfortable clothing.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY
Please arrive 5 mins prior to your appointment.
CONSULTATION -Firstly we have a chat about your expectations, concerns and goals for what you are wanting to achieve. We go over your medical consultation and make sure that we have no concerns or contraindications. We then make sure you are happy with your chosen method.
We then take some technical measurements of your brow area.
DRAW UP - after your technical measurements, we map out your new brows. This part of the service is, in some cases the longest part, perfection is our goal. The draw-up is conducted in front of a mirror so that you are able to see the shape being created. Only when you are 100% happy with shape created will we proceed with the service.
TATTOOING - please be aware an initial pass of either microbladed strokes or machine outlining is completed prior to any numbing cream being used. The skin must be broken for the numbing cream to work (numbing cream is specially compounded, you will be given details for how to obtain this prior to your appointment). After the initial pass, numbing cream will be applied to ensure a pain free service. We will then work from brow to brow, simultaneously applying numbing cream as we go. The tattooing itself can take anywhere from 45mins to 2 hours depending on the individual and the chosen method.
Post appointment
Day 1 (Day of treatment): You will be provided with a medical grade healing gel, this will also be applied at the time of your procedure. You may need to blot the area with a saline wipe if you notice any fluid (lymph) rising to the surface of the treatment area. Blot away lymph and re-apply gel.
Day 2-3 Carefully blot the area in the morning and in the evening. It is important to remove dead skin and bacteria. Make sure your hands are clean, and you use sterile water. Do not rub, tug or scrub the brows. After wiping, apply a thin layer of gel. When wiping the brows do not make aggressive movements or manipulate the skin that way. It is highly important to be gentle.
Day 4-14 Continue cleaning your face every morning and evening with water and gentle soap. Do not use products that contain acids and exfoliants. Only use antibacterial soap (such as Cetaphil or QV) After you wash your eyebrows, it is time to dry them. Do this by gently tapping with a cotton pad or a soft tissue. Once you clean the eyebrow area, re-apply healing gel.
In order to get the best results as well as to prevent side-effects, avoid the following things:
Wearing make-up on the brow area for at least 10 days
Sweating and working out, as well as hot saunas or hot baths for at least a week
Picking, scratching or peeling your eyebrows as you do not want to cause scarring of the area
Being directly exposed to the sun or salon tanning, UV/UVA rays, or chemicals for at least 4 weeks as you do not want to cause a shift in colour or premature fading of colour
Long and hot showers for at least 10 days after the procedure
Face creams containing Retin-A or Glicolic acid, and products other than those recommended (ointment) (on the brow area)
Facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks
Sleeping on your face for the first 10 days. Also, use a clean pillowcase
Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning (such as garage and basement cleaning) where there is a lot of airborne debris
