Microblading-
it is a form of cosmetic makeup, it is done manually with a hand tool and microneedles that form a blade to implant pigment into the top layers(epidermis) of the skin creating realistic looking hair like strokes, it can last 6-18 months, touch ups are recommended for upkeep as they will shrink and fade monthly. The goal is to only need a touch up once every 1-3 years, some skin types may require more frequent touch ups around 6-9 months.
Powdered Brows (shading)-
this technique is also done manually, a hand tool is used with microneedles that form hallow circle to create a powdered/shaded look, it is also implanted in the top layers of the skin, this technique allows for a more perfected shape and a makeup look. both microbalding and shading can be done together for a more natural filled in look.
Machine powdered brows give a more filled in makeup look, that up close looks pix-elated, it gives a more perfected shape and typically has the smoothest and better retention, this technique is more permanent and can last 1-5 years, touch ups may be required as microblading pigments are used which are formulated (iron oxide based) to fade out of the skin over time.
Anyone looking to book that has previous tattooing/microblading must send in a photo before booking to ensure they can be microbladed over or if lightening/removal is needed first.
Some skin types may not be best for microblading and will have better retention results with shading/powdered brow, some of those skin types would be oily skin, dry/flaky skin, large pores, someone who does facials or uses anti aging products often.
Oily skin tends to fade out quicker but has the possibility of great results as everyone heals differently and at the end of the day the skin is in charge of what it allows.
For those unsure on which type of brow technique to pick it is recommended to start out with microblading the most natural technique that is easy to tweak and build of off.
Someone who is in the sun or tanning bed often will tend to fade quicker and could have results of pigment turning different colors from ultraviolet rays.
Consult and ask questions to determine what is best for you :)
Eyeliner-
It is done manually with a hand tool to create either a fine lash line through your lashes to make the lashes appear fuller or more of a makeup eyeliner look, it can last up to 18 months and usually doesn't require touch ups right away. We do NOT do bottom eyeliner.
It has a dry heal after care and could have some welling in day one and two, more in depth after care provided at appointment.
Tattoo lightening/removal-
this technique is done manually or with a machine to break open the top layers of the skin and apply a saline-citrus solution that will break up the ink/pigment from under the skin and pull it to the surface, you should see results right away that will fade more over the next 30 days after procedure. Depending on the darkness and depth of the coloring several sessions may be needed to completely remove. Numbing lidocaine solution is always used for all techniques to minimize any discomfort.
Jet Plasma-
The most advanced plasma technology used to brighten and tighten the skin, shrink pores, and promote high levels of collagen regeneration. The device was designed with jet and cold plasma for best results using a strong low temperature atmospheric plasma temperature on the surface of the skin. Jet plasma is used for non surgical facial treatments, acne treatments, anti-inflammation, skin whitening, and hyperpigmentation. This technique has no pain, no numbing, non invasive, no carbon dots, no downtime, can be used on all skin tones. 3-8 sessions recommended. Sessions can be done as soon as 4 days apart which means fast results.
Fibroblast-
Plasma fibroblast therapy uses a pen-like device that discharges a high frequency electric current to small areas of the skin, the plasma tip doesn't directly touch the skin but instead releases a targeted current just above the skin , the hot current creates carbon crust dots or micro injuries in the skin's layer, stimulating collagen on a deep level. It is a revolutionary non-invasive alternative treatment to surgery, the treatment helps eliminate excessive tissue that causes sagging skin, unwanted wrinkle, stretch marks, and even scarring.
Numbing is used to minimize discomfort. Redness and swelling is normal the first couple days as well as brown carbon crust dots, the carbon crust dots can last 3-14 days before falling off. This technique can be used on skin tones up to Fitzpatrick of 4 and below to avoid hyperpigmentation. Sessions can be needed based on individual results wanted. Sessions can be done every 12 weeks if needed/desired.
Jet Plasma & Fibroblast techniques can be combined at same appointment for ultimate results, sessions would need to be spaced 12 weeks apart if needed/desired.
