♡ WHAT IS NANOBLADING?

Nanoblading/microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique. Unlike traditional tattoos which use a tattoo gun, nanoblading/microblading uses a handheld tool with tiny, barely visible needles. It creates hair-like strokes while depositing pigment into the upper layer of your skin.

♡ APPOINTMENT INFOMATION.

Medical forms MUST be filled in for the procedure to go ahead.

A deposit is required for all bookings. A minimum of 48 hours notice is required for cancellations or date changes to keep your deposit valid.

Please DO NOT bring along friends, partners, children or pets unless prior permission as they may not be able to stay throughout the treatment and your appointment will be marked as a no show & booking lost due to time wasted.

Please allow extra time for travelling to avoid running late (more than 15 minutes late may be marked as a no show & booking lost).

♡ NANOBLADING PRE & AFTER CARE ♡

Please read before your appointment.

♡ PRE-CARE.

  • ♡  MEDICATION.

    Do NOT take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen for 72 hours prior to your procedure. Paracetamol is fine. Do not discontinue necessary medications without consulting your Doctor first. You must be off ACCUTANE for minimum 3 months.

  • ♡ SUN.

    Do not have a strong tan or sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. If you attend your appointment with sunburn, you
    will be required to reschedule and your deposit will be forfeited. Do not tan or sun bathe 2 weeks before and after the procedure.

  • ♡ FOOD & DRINK.

    No alcohol, caffeine or energising drinks for 24 hours prior to the procedure. Consuming before can cause excessive bleeding and hypersensitivity. This may affect your treatment negatively causing poor retention & potentially ashy healed results.

  • ♡ INJECTABLES.

    If you use BOTOX/FILLER in the forehead or temple area, it should be performed 2 weeks prior to your nanoblading appointment.

  • ♡ MENSTRUAL CYCLE.

    Schedule your treatment so that you are not on your menstrual cycle. Getting a treatment while on your menstrual cycle can make you hyper-sensitive on the treated area potentially resulting in a more painful experience.

  • ♡ SKINCARE.

    Do not have any chemical peels,
    microdermabrasions, laser or any other intense treatments which will cause faster skin cell rejuvenating and cause skin irritation 3-4 weeks before procedure.

  • You MUST cease the use of Retin-A or Retinols for 14 days prior to your treatment avoid using on or around the area for a further 30 days post treatment. If used before 30 days, it can cause the pigments to fade prematurely. If you resume the Retin-A or Retinols after the 30 days, please be aware that the continued use on the area will fade your permanent makeup prematurely.

  • If there are any blemishes, pimples, active cold sores, irritation of the skin of any kind, moles or other skin imperfections in or around the brows, please inform us prior to the appointment.

♡ AFTER CARE.

  • ♡

    Once you return home you will gently wash to remove any lymph or excess pigment, and keep the brows clean during healing.

  • ♡

    On the day of the treatment if your journey home is +1 hour gently blot the area with clean tissue provided to absorb any excess lymph fluid.

  • (Lymph is a clear fluid-like substance that might slightly ooze from eyebrow area.) You may or may not have any during this time. But if you do, we want to avoid letting it dry on the eyebrow area and forming a crust. Blotting this fluid will prevent any crusting on the brows.

♡ Instructions for washing:

  • ♡

    At the sink using DOVE SOAP (plain bar) or
    Sanex use fingertips to lather & cleanse the eyebrows.

    Gently but thoroughly rub the area in a circular motion, then gently rinse with temperate water. Make sure that all soap is rinsed away.

    Very gently, and thoroughly, pat dry with kitchen roll.

    Do this morning, afternoon & evening, everyday for 7 days.

  • ♡

    Keep the brows clean and dry. Avoid excess moisture such as creams, oil, sweat etc. Do not submerge brows in the shower. Please wash your face at the sink.

  • ♡

    DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliants. For best results ONLY use what is recommended.

♡ Important reminders:

  • ♡

    Use a fresh pillow case, and try to not sleep on your face or eyebrows. Refrain from using an eye mask for up to 7 days.



  • ♡

    Let any flaky dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking will cause loss of color. Your flakes will gently fall off by themselves when they are ready to.

  • ♡

    No facials, botox, chemical treatments or microdermabrasion for 3 weeks after treatment.

  • ♡

    Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for 1 week. You can lightly exercise, but nothing that will cause overexertion or extreme sweating.

  • ♡

    Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks after nanoblading. Once fully healed, protect your eyebrow with SPF. Any prolonged sun exposure will cause premature fading.

  • ♡

    Avoid swimming, or any kind of water/steam-based activity until your eyebrows have completely healed.

  • ♡

    Avoid applying any type of makeup to your brows whilst healing.

  • ♡

    DO NOT USE growth enhancement products such as Latisse, Revitabrow, Grande lash, one month prior and after treatment has fully healed as it may shift your colour.

  • ♡

    Keep your hands off of the area. No picking or scratching the treated area.

♡ THE HEALING PROCESS.

Day 1 -
The hairstrokes are much darker, sharper, more precise & defined when fresh. The negative space between the hairstrokes will look very prominent due to the greater contrast (not the case once healed & settled).

The healed finish is typically around 30-60% lighter & softer. Please keep this in mind as realistic expectations are necessary.

The pigment will look much warmer in tone on some skin tones, due to the hairstrokes having some blood sitting underneath the pigment. Lymphatic fluid may be present.

Typically fairer skin have more visible intensity & “wound factor” when fresh, with darker skin tones benefiting from less of a dramatic look when fresh.

Day 2 -
Brows will become a bit darker, this is due to oxidation of pigment & any blood underneath the pigment going from red to darker red as healing begins. Strokes may feel slightly raised & textured when washing the brows.

Days 3-7-
Brows become a little flaky as dry skin & excess pigment shed. No more than slight brow dandruff if aftercare is followed properly. As the excess flakes away, the underneath will look barely noticeable due to the contrast between the darker areas still healing, and the pigment now sitting underneath layers of “milk skin”.

Days 7-14 -
Brows will appear very light, due to “milk skin” common in tattooing, layers of dry skin now healing over the pigment making it seem quite faded or “cloudy” looking. On low contrast skin, it can be barely visible. You don't need to contact us during this time, it is a completely normal part of the healing process.

Days 14 - 21 -
Pigment gradually comes back through, becoming clearer & more noticeable, but not as intense as when fresh. You will begin to see any areas that need to be retouched.

Typically most clients will require a retouch on the first session as retention varies considerably depending on skin type since the body attempts to break down semi permanent ink whilst healing. Retouching is based on how your skin has healed (retained ink) and the desired look that we want to achieve. It can be simply retouching existing healed ink for more prominence, or going darker or fuller.

Brows are not considered complete without a retouch appointment (this must be factored in & is a normal part of cosmetic tattooing). Whilst some clients are lucky enough to have skin that holds ink very well (strong retention) & not require a retouch, most do.
