‼️ABOUT THE PROCEDURE ‼️
This is not a tattoo! Tattoo you make a session and never need to retouch because it will last for the rest of your life, micropigmentation is a more natural technique, made in a more superficial layer on the skin, so they have difficulty setting the color, it is used more natural products, then to keep the color beautiful
This technique is based on the design of the hair lines on the eyebrows, respecting its line and natural form.
The procedure consists of filling dispersed areas, improving your image and when possible, stretching the size of the eyebrows, accentuating the arc and minimizing the appearance of scars.
Be sure you want to do the procedure, because once done, even being done with more natural products, if you do not like it, it will last on your skin between 1 to 5 years, or choose to remove it to remove faster(laser removal)
📌to perform the procedure, a very powerful anesthetic cream is used and some discomfort or pain can be felt. This usually depends on the sensitivity of each person, most customers do not feel absolutely no discomfort, some a little, many much.
📌 micropigmentation is performed in 2 sessions in people who have a good skin fixing. Or 2 to 3 sessions in people with poor fixation. The initial price for the first session does not include the retouch procedure.
The customer must choose any date after 30 days and before 90 days to perform the retouching and pay less by your session, if you do not return before 3 months you will pay more for your retouch!
It is possible that, during the first session, the client may not have a good fixation, such as pigment failure or the body rejecting the coloring agents.
📌we do not promise to any customer to fix the color on your first APPT!
📌o Touch Up Appt is very important to correct any difference in asymmetry and color, and to finalize your procedure, parts of your eyebrows where you do not have natural hair is normal to get lighter or even do not fix any color.
These reactions are more likely to happen to people with oily skin. Bad feeding, low immune system or poor skin fixation. External agents, such as the sun, nicotine, acid-based creams tend to clear the pigment.
There are several unexpected reactions that can happen. Your procedure is done with great quality and knowledge, good pigments we work, products of great quality, disposable, but the skin of each person is our enemy.
If the color on your skin did not set well, the additional retouching sessions will be much needed.
📌skins that fix very little, may be necessary to return by 2 (two) or more additional retouching sessions. Please note that each retouching session is an additional cost. And after your retouch probably between 6 to 10 months, you will need to keep your retouch.
📌skins that set medium, a lot, after your first retouching, your color maintenance we recommend annual!
📌Eyebrows with large differences in symmetry, which require correction out of the natural line, can disappear faster in this specific area as a result of direct exposure to the sun and water.
This is due to lack of protection against natural hair. It is important to remember that the original color will only last for a few months, every month that passes the color will natinate, especially where you do not have natural hair.
Unlike a tattoo, micropigmentation is temporary and tends to disappear within a few months, in 1 year you will not have a perfect eyebrows if you do not keep your retouch.

Long Term Care
We always recommend keeping your eyebrows clean. You have to remove all the hair that grows out of your design, so that you always have a nice and clean shape.
If you don't know anyone who does, we have this service in our studio at a cost of $ 15 by Aline Martins.
We do not recommend doing a cosmetic procedure above the eyebrows. Always talk to the professional so that he does not touch your eyebrows since aesthetic products help to lighten the pigment and also to change the color.
Acid-containing night and day creams cannot touch the eyebrows. This speeds up the lightening of the color.
Whenever you go out in the sun. Exposing your face to the sun, on beaches and swimming pools Protect your eyebrows with sunscreen with the highest factor you can find.
Overuse of makeup on the eyebrows also lightens the color.
And if you do not keep doing the retouching at the correct time, you will not have a beautiful eyebrow for a long time, if the return time is followed correctly, you will always have an eyebrow with the most intense color.
