Prior to your cosmetic enhancement it is a good idea to think about the look that you wish to achieve. During your telephone consultation we will discuss what you wish to achieve. On the day of your treatment, I will custom design your brow style based on your face shape, bone structure and eye placement to create the most natural finish. The pigment choice will be selected according to your natural brows (or tinted colour) and skin tone. With some clients the colour may look dramatically lighter after a few weeks, but this will be addressed at the perfection session. There are some cases where the chosen pigment may fade to a slightly different tone than anticipated due to individual clients response to the pigments (like life style and iron deficiencies). Many factors affect these changes. At your perfection appointment, I will re-analyse how your body has responded to the initial colour and may be able to make allowances in pigment alteration to prevent further colour change. I use pigments, which are specifically for permanent cosmetics. Some of the pigments from the brands that I use contain iron oxides, distilled water, alcohol and glycerine. These range of pigments meets with EU Guidelines, which is EU-Resolution ResAp (2008). To ensure that you get the best out of your treatment it is advised that you; * Exfoliate your brow and surrounding skin prior to your treatment. * If you tint your brows and wish to keep this colour, please tint them 5 days prior to your treatment (unless previously discussed with your brow artist) so that I can match the tinted brows to the tone of the pigment * Avoid alcohol for 48 hours prior to treatment * No caffeine on the day of your appointment * No aspirin/ibuprofen 2 days prior to or after treatment (however do not stop any medication taken regularly before consulting your GP) * Should you wish to have a sensitivity test it will be required at least 48 hours prior to your treatment. Please note that while a skin test can determine within 48 hours if you may have a reaction to the pigments and products used, it is not inconclusive regarding whether you will have an allergic reaction at any time in the future, hence you are offered the option to waiver this right. * No Retin A skincare products to be used close to the area for enhancement for 1 month prior to or after treatment • No alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) skincare products to be used close to the area for enhancement for 1 month prior to or after treatment • No anti-wrinkle or injectable fillers in the brow area four weeks prior to or following the treatment (as this can alter the shape of the brow) * No IPL laser 2 weeks prior to treatment * No electrolysis 5 days prior to treatment * No fish oil or Vitamin E one week prior (these can act as natural blood thinners)

Immediately following your treatment your brows will be bolder in colour and more sharply defined. This may last anywhere from between 1-4 days. As the brows heal they will form a thick/creamy temporary layer of skin (around day 4-6). Due to this thick skin covering the implanted pigment, it may appear from this stage on that the pigment may have faded or even disappeared somewhat. As the skin regenerates from about two weeks onwards the pigment will slowly reappear and a lighter more subtle shade will be evident. Any swelling and redness is minimal with most clients and will usually subside within 24-hours, however, in some cases the brow area may appear like this for a few days. You will be provided with an aftercare pack with everything you need. You will be advised to always thoroughly wash your hands prior to touching the treated area. After your treatment you will begin to clean periodically throughout the day of your appointment until bed time. On the days following your appointment you will be required to continue cleaning the brows and applying some of the balm provided as per the aftercare card given to you. You must avoid getting the brows wet during washing and bathing, keep soaps, cleansers, moisturisers, oil based products and make-up away from the brows for a period of time as introduction of this can be detrimental to the bonding process that must take place for the pigment to stabilise in the skin. You must avoid; saunas, steam and excess sweaty exercise for 14 days. Direct sun exposure (inclusive of sun beds) & any facials treatments involving the brow area are to be avoided for 30 days. It is not recommended that you ever use any Retinol based anti-aging creams over your brows at any point as this can fade the brows. Application of any makeup to the area may affect the healing process and affect the pigment from settling into the skin correctly. After the healing period should you go over the treated area with foundation please be aware that this will mask the colour if the pigment lying underneath. Should this happen when applying your make-up, take a cotton bud with some make-up remover on and gently wipe over the brow to bring the colour back through. Please also remember that this treatment is not a make-up replacement and you may still wish to fill your brows in if you wear heavy day to day make-up. If you do wish to use any brow powder/pencil in the area, please only do so when there is no scabbing in the brow area from day 11 onwards. No brow tinting until after day 14 following treatment No botox/dermal fillers in the brow area for 2 weeks Do not pick or scratch the area and let any skin that forms over the area to fall away naturally. Picking may scare the area and cause premature loss of the pigment. If you follow the aftercare set out by your artist you will not form hard scabs, but may just have a light snake skin like scabbing or flaking. True healing of the brows takes around 6 weeks, at which point the pigment colour will be evident. Only at this point can the touch-up be undertaken, where any adjustments to the colour that may be needed can be done. Please bear in mind that the brows will heal up to 30% softer than the initial colour. Some unevenness can be expected hence the necessity of the touch up treatment. In order to achieve the best possible results it is necessary to follow the aftercare strictly.
