Brow Treatment Process

Treatment Process for Microblading, Powder / Ombre, Combination and Nano Brows

  1. When you arrive at your appointment we will begin filling in the consultation form and discuss the shape and look you would like to achieve.
  2. I will start to map out your brows to find the ideal shape for you. (The process does not start without you approving the shape – which is usually the longest part of the process.) Small tweaks are made to make sure you are confident with the shape before we start. A good pre-draw will give you an idea of the final outcome.
  3. After you are happy with your shape I will apply a topical numbing cream, and while the numbing cream settles, we discuss the color options based on your skin tone and undertone to find the perfect match. The numbing takes 20 – 30 minutes.
  4. The numbing is then removed and the treatment can start. During the treatment you will hear a sound of the strokes being made (Manual hand held tool) or feel the light vibration of the machine, which is completely normal. During the procedure, to ensure your comfort, a secondary numbing is applied.
  5. After the procedure is done, a protective ointment is applied before you return home. You will also be given after-care instructions and ointment for the healing process.
  6. After 6 weeks of healing you will be ready to come for your touch-up. (Perfecting session)
  7. At your touch-up (which is necessary for your brows to last as long as possible) I will be able to see how your skin retains the pigment and add more hair strokes / shading if needed.
