DOES THE PMU BROW PROCESS HURT? WILL MY SKIN BE RED OR SWOLLEN?
You may experience minimal discomfort during the first pass but we numb your brow area once again when the skin is open. You will not feel much afterwards. Swelling and redness is minimal with most clients, and will subside within 24-48 hours.
-
HOW LONG IS THE APPOINTMENT?
Please allow at least three hours for your initial appointment to ensure set up and critiquing symmetry.
-
HOW LONG WILL MY BROWS TAKE TO HEAL?
The initial healing period is 7 days. The complete healing process takes between 4-6 weeks.
-
WHY DID MY BROWS DISAPPEAR AFTER MY INITIAL APPOINTMENT?
During the initial healing process, your skin will begin to flake. Once the flakes have fallen off, a shiny layer of healing skin will completely cover the hair strokes. It may appear as though the tattooed area has completely disappeared. Within 1-2 weeks, the hair strokes will slowly reappear at a lighter shade as your skin regenerates.
Immediately following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined. This can last up to a week after treatment while the initial healing process takes place.
-
WHY DO I NEED A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT?
The complete healing process takes 4-8 weeks, at which time the true color of the tattoo is evident. During this process, your tattoo will soften and lighten. Be patient, even if you think too much color has been lost, as your skin is still regenerating and it is only after 4 weeks that your touch-up/adjustments can be done.
