WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Microblading is a form of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing achieved with a manual (not a machine) disposable handheld tool, composed with very fine needles resembling the shape of a blade (we call it a microblade), to hand draw each individual hair and simultaneously implant the pigment into the skin.

WHAT ARE OMBRE'|POWDER BROWS?

Ombre' | Powder brows are a type of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing procedure achieved by depositing pigments is into your brows using small needles with a machine. While also sometimes called eyebrow tattooing, this is more of a cosmetic enhancement rather than a traditional tattoo art. Ombre'|Powder brows focuses on altering both color and shape to create a powdery appearance that looks soft and natural while appearing defined. Your eyebrows will look like you have applied a brow pencil or pomade over them.

WHAT IS LIP BLUSHING?

Lip blushing is a type of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing procedure achieved by depositing pigments in your lips using small needles. While also sometimes called lip tattooing, this is more of a cosmetic enhancement rather than traditional tattoo art. Lip blushing focuses on altering both color and shape to create younger-looking lips.

WHAT IS SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION?

Scalp Micropigmentation is a non-invasive treatment that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The result creates the appearance of tiny hair follicles or short hair stubble. If you are starting to thin, recede, or if you are completely bald, we can give you the look of a short buzz cut.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST | HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Typically, the price will range depending on the level of work required to reach the desired end result. Most procedures requiring a minimum of 2 sessions. PMU typically requiring 2hr sessions + SMP typically requiring 4hr sessions. PMU starts at $200|HR. SMP starts at $250|HR

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

All procedures are considered to be semi-permanent as they do not penetrate the dermis as far as a traditional tattoo and will naturally fade | lighten over time. Each individual’s color retention will vary based on skin type, products used, sun exposure, health and overall lifestyle. Brow + Lip procedures can generally expect 1-3 years of longevity before a touch-up session is needed. If you'd like to maintain a fresh look, touch-ups can be had as early as 6months. Scalps can generally expect 3-5 years of longevity before a touch-up may be desired.

WILL PMU|SMP WORK WITH GRAY|LIGHT HAIR?

With all procedures we will color match you before the service begins. We use pigment that can be adjusted in shade to blend with lighter | gray hair tones.

DO I NEED TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK?

All procedures are non-invasive and require no down time. In most cases, you will not need to take any extended time away from work, school, or other functions. After treatment it is common to notice slight redness on the area for 2-3 days post session. PMU Clients will experience scabbing throughout the healing process. SPM Clients are allowed to wear hats or headwear should they feel the need.

*In Depth aftercare instructions will be provided.

WILL THE COLOR CHANGE LIKE A TATTOO?

Sun exposure is the number one cause of tattoo fading, so don't skip the sunblock!

While we can not guarantee it, we can confidently say, your color should not change over time. The pigments we use are food-grade, Organic, plant based + 100% metal free.

HOW LONG UNTIL I CAN SWEAT, GO IN THE POOL, SAUNA, STEAM ROOM or TANNING BED AFTER TREATMENT?

We recommend no heavy sweating or intense exercise for 4-7 days after your treatment and to avoid chlorinated pools, saunas, steam rooms, and tanning beds for 28 days post final session.

DOES IT HURT?

The pain level is considered mild to none. A numbing topical anesthetic is applied to the area during the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible. However, each person’s experience will vary depending on their pain tolerance and receptiveness to numbing agents. Topical anesthetics used may contain lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine, and epinephrine. After the procedure, redness and slight swelling in the area can be normal. Clients compare the feeling to a light sunburn. You may take pain relievers AFTER the procedure, but not 24 hours before.

SPM| IF I HAVE HAIR LEFT, CAN I LEAVE IT LONG?

Depending upon the pattern and extent of the thinning hair, some clients are able to maintain a longer length of hair. Scalp pigmentation can help thicken areas so that less of the scalp is seen showing through. However, if there is a strong pattern of hair loss or just not a lot of hair density left, the client is recommended to crop it shorter.

SMP| CAN SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION CAMOUFLAGE SCARS?

Yes! By replicating tiny hair follicles inside the scarring and blending the color around the scarring area, transplant and surgical scars can see massive improvement in concealment.

SMP| CAN I STILL USE PROPECIA + or ROGAINE AFTER MY TREATMENT?

Clients can continue using Propecia during and after their scalp pigmentation procedure. Rogaine (topical minoxidil) should be suspended during the course of treatment and for 30 days post your final session. This is to ensure the proper healing and settling of pigment without interference of the chemicals found in Rogaine foam.

SMP| HOW LONG UNTIL I CAN SCRUB, SHAMPOO, or SHAVE THE ARE?

We recommend no scrubbing, shampooing, or shaving over the treated area for 4-5 days after your scalp micropigmentation treatment.

SMP| WILL SMP GROW MY HAIR BACK?

No, the scalp micropigmentation treatment will not grow your hair back. However, the SMP treatment will give you the look of short hair or a tight buzz-cut. We recommend keeping your hair at a shorter length to create the most natural outcome.
