Previous permanent makeup - If you have previous permanent makeup on your brows, eyes, or lips, PLEASE EMAIL info@winkingnursetattoo.com  a clear photo of your brows, eyes or lips to discuss your options BEFORE booking an appointment.

We need to assess to make sure previous work can be covered and/or corrected.


Expectations – Results will vary with each individual client.  It depends on several factors such as how one heals and follows before and aftercare instructions.  Successful results are not guaranteed (especially on those with problematic skin) and additional sessions, at an additional charge, may be required to obtain desired results.  All services provided are non-refundable.  Healed results will vary and using a makeup may still be needed.

Before
After

After your treatment

Eyebrow post-care is very important to the appearance and longevity of your new eyebrows. Please read the following eyebrow aftercare carefully as it applies to all our eyebrow treatments, Microblading, Powder/Ombre Brows, Combo Brows, and Nano Brows.


When performing after care, make sure you have clean hands to avoid infecting your procedure site.


Immediately after the procedure, gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid.  This must be done every 5 minutes until the oozing stops. This will help to prevent lymph fluid buildup on the freshly worked area. (If not done per instructions, scabs will form, and your color may be lost


Wash (days 1-7) 
Gently wash the area each morning and night with water and gentle soap or an unscented cleanser like dial Soap, Cetaphil, or baby shampoo.  With a very light touch, use your clean fingertips to gently cleanse the area.
Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed off.
To dry, gently pat with a clean cotton round.  DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic or AHA) or exfoliants.


Moisturize and hydrate (Days 1-7)
Apply a tiny, rice grain size amount of Aftercare product (provided) 3 times a day with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area.
Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The product should be barely noticeable on the skin.
Never put the product on a wet or damp tattoo.
 

  • Use a fresh pillowcase while you sleep

  • Do not scrub, pick, wipe or scratch the procedure area.   This can cause pigment loss, scarring and delayed healing.  Allow scabs to flake off naturally, do not pull them off

  • No facials, Botox, chemical treatments, or microdermabrasion for at least 4 weeks

  • Avoid strenuous exercise and/or sweating for 7-10 days.  Avoid any activity that may cause sweating through or on the brows, this will cause pigment loss, reflecting poor results

  • Avoid swimming, hot sauna, hot bath, hot shower, jacuzzi, sun tanning or salon tanning for 10 days

  • Avoid sleeping on your face and/or sides for the first 10 days.

  • DO not use any cosmetics over the area while healing for approximately 7-10 days

  • Avoid drinking alcohol in excess.  This can cause slow healing.

  • Use of sunblock after healing will help premature fading (after 10 days)

​

If you have excessive redness, swelling or tenderness, elevated temperature, red streaks going from procedure site towards the heart and/or any green/yellow drainage with foul odor, contact your physician immediately as the area may be infected.
