FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DOES IT HURT?

Most clients report little discomfort or no pain! We use a topical anesthetic before in some cases & throughout the entire procedure.



WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE ?

It usually takes 30 days to completely heal. Post-procedure your brows will form a lite scab between day 2 and 3. Your brows will then begin to peel anywhere between day 3 and 5. By day 14 your brows should have completely peeled. In the first 10 days, you’ll need to avoid getting them wet, working out or wearing brow makeup. Following our after care instructions will help you achieve the most satisfactory results. Please see full list of aftercare instructions.
