PRECARE & AFTERCARE
THE INITIAL
Come in and meet with Lexi to discuss your needs. Shape, color, style, & technique will be custom to each client. We will then map the brows to outline the shape. Before We begin a topical cream anesthetic is applied so that you are comfy throughout the service. Approximately 2 hours. Micropigmentaion is a two appointment procedure. Follow up appointments are not included in initial appointment pricing
FOLLOW UP
Micropigmentation is more surface level than traditional tattoos. The expectation is that parts of the brow will fade. At your 8+ week touch up Lexi will go over any areas that need more pigment and adjustments can be made to the shape and saturation. Approximately 1 hour.
Follow up appointments are not included in initial appointment pricing.
REFRESHERS
Micropigmentation when done properly is designed to fade over time. Lexi will typically see clients every 2 to 3 years for a brow refresher. These should not be booked at the first signs of fading as We do not want to oversaturate your brows. Approximately 1.5 hours
MEDICAL CONTRAINDICATIONS
You may not be a candidate for micropigmentation if you have any of the following health concerns. Skin conditions apply to the face. Please note that we are not able to microblade over scars, moles, or piercings.
