Microblading

( not recommended for oily skin)

*PLEASE NOTE: If you have previous eyebrow tattoos you MUST send photos to be considered for our services at inkedbyjoanne@gmail.com

Imagine having fuller looking, perfectly shaped brows everyday… no worries about your makeup smudging, or getting them wet, or reapplying makeup throughout the day. Microblading is a manual Microstroking technique used to create the appearance of brow hairs. This yields a realistic and natural result that can give the brow a fuller appearance. This technique enables us to create crisp, fine “hair” strokes that can help to fill in thin brows or brows with bald spots. It also allows us to create total brow reconstruction for those who have completely bare brows and/or have been impacted by a condition which has reduced or eliminated their brow hair growth. Prior to the procedure we will shape and customize your brows to a size and shape that compliments your facial features and brings out your eyes. We will also select a color that best matches your natural complexion and skin tone baring in mind undertones and skin conditions. Microblading does not require any tweezing, waxing, plucking, or shaving of the brows and does not damage the existing brow hair. Topical anesthetics are applied before and during the procedure to keep pain and discomfort to a minimum. The procedure requires approximately two hours and there is no “down time”. A touch up is required 6-12 weeks after the initial procedure. After that touch ups are recommended yearly to maintain color and crispness of the strokes.

*Please Note: Microblading is not for everyone…. For the first 10-12 days, eyebrows will appear darker, bolder, and thicker due to scab formation and the natural skin healing process of the immune system. This is common and to be expected for all permanent makeup procedures.

MicroShading

(recommended for normal or T zone oily not oily skin)

Think of micro-shading as the long-lost sibling to microblading—while the two have some differences, they both use tattoo ink to fill in sparser areas of the brows. The treatment has been making waves in the beauty industry for its ability to deliver fuller arches, and is especially effective for oily, sensitive skin

Ombré brows

(Suitable for oily skin )

Ombré brows is a brow style that uses ombré shading, a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that uses a small machine to place extremely thin dots of pigment into the skin, creating a soft-shaded brow pencil look.

Combination Brows

( recommended for normal or T zone oily not oily skin)

Get the best of both worlds with this amazing technique! The combo brow combines the hair strokes of microblading with the shading of Ombre. This achieves the most natural look possible for the brow with more of a 3D effect. This technique is good for those who have particular emptiness in their brows or patchy spots, and/or for those who just want a fuller looking brow. Prior to the procedure we will shape and customize your brows to a size and shape that compliments your facial features and brings out your eyes. We will also select a color that best matches your natural complexion and skin tone baring in mind undertones and skin conditions.

Nano Brows

( all skin type & oily skin hair stroke look )

Nano brows are a semi-permanent makeup treatment for the eyebrows that creates the look of extra natural volume, fills in sparse patches, and modifies the shape of the arches into your dream brows

The treatment is performed with an electric device similar to a tattooing machine, which is used to draw strokes that imitate the natural brow hairs

Daily care to follow for 7 days

Dry healing for the first 48 hours. Start from day 3, apply a healing balm a minimum of 3 times a day, using a cotton bud.

Wash your hands before applying the product and prevent cross-contamination of the product by using a clean cotton
bud for each eyebrow
We recommend that you use a gentle facial cleanser to freshen your skin during the first week. Do not splash wash your face. Do however clean your enhancement twice daily with damp cotton pads.
If your enhancement gets wet, gently pat the area dry using a clean tissue.
Keep your hair away from your enhancement to prevent the possibility of infection.
Some itching is normal. DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR RUB your enhancement as the color may heal unevenly and you could risk infection, which in turn could lead to scarring. Allow the color to flake away by itself. Do not receive skincar beauty treatments for 5 days after the application of your enhancement. No make-up should be applied close to you enhancement for 3 days.

Avoid for 2 weeks

Do not expose your enhancement to direct sun, tanning treatments, Jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools and direct shower spray.

Do not receive eyebrow tinting, waxing, electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to the brow region.

Important notes

Remember, your selected color will be stronger and more sharply defined for 10 to 14 days after

application but as the
healing process occurs the color will soften and lighten.

The approximate healing period is 14 days, however healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if
you are generally stressed and by poor diet.
Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of color is to be expected. This is the purpose of the re-touch visit allowing us to fine tune your enhancement. This is included in the initial cost, however if you do not attend your scheduled re-touch appointment you will be charged for any further treatment. Cancellation notice is always 48 hours.

Long term care

Use a good sunscreen. Sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics.

If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your
permanent cosmetics.
Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you may not be eligible to give blood for a year post application.
