CHINA DOLL FACIAL

When you arrive, you will have a “before photo” taken and begin the topical numbing process.

Once you’re numb, a brow shape will be designed for you based on your unique bone structure and measurements. We are all different, and your brows should reflect your personal style and natural contours.

We will discuss colour and brow design together to ensure you are comfortable with the look.

Once we begin, we will continue to numb you during the procedure to keep you comfortable.

When your brows are completed, an “after photo” will be taken.

At the end, we will go over aftercare and questions, and schedule your 6-8 week follow up appointment.

Gently rinse your brows with room temperature water and a few suds of mild, unscented soap for a few seconds on each brow, 2-3 hours after the treatment. You are looking to remove any hardened lymph or excess pigment stuck to your hairs.

Pat the brows completely dry before spreading a THIN layer of the provided aftercare ointment to protect from outside bacteria and promote healing.

Repeat this wash-dry-moisturize routine twice daily until brows are healed, which is usually after 7-10 days. Avoid sweating (no working out for 1 week) and keep the brows dry other than the healing wash routine. We will provide you a plastic visor to protect your brows in the shower, and we suggest to use makeup wipes or minimal skincare for the week.

Day 1: Brows will look finely detailed and crisp. Colour may appear too light or too dark, but should develop into a more fitting colour when healed.

Days 2-3: Brows will appear bold and dense, as scabs begin to form.

Days 4-5: Scabs will begin to flake off. DO NOT PICK. This may create patchiness or scarring.

Days 5-7: Skin under scabs will appear lighter in colour. Pigment may even seem to have disappeared, but be patient. The colour should return day by day. This is normal!

Days 7-10: Your body will develop a new layer of skin over the tattoo.

Days 10-45: If your brow colour doesn’t return as bold as you hoped, don’t worry. This is the purpose of a touch up session. Patchiness and imperfections will be corrected then.

Do not exercise the day of your appointment or during the 7-10 day healing period.

Don’t drink coffee, alcohol, energy drinks or take any pain relievers 24 hours prior.

Chemical peels, electrolysis, Botox or filler should not be done 2 weeks before or after treatment.

Don’t wax, tweeze, or dye your brows for 3 days prior.

We recommend discontinuing retinoids on your forehead or anywhere near the brows for 3 weeks prior and permanently after any brow tattoo. Exfoliating and hydroxy acids (AHA/BHA) in the brow area must be avoided for one week prior, but you may use near the brows again after 2 weeks of healing.

If you have excessive oil or enlarged pores in your T-Zone, consider powder/ombré technique for more durable healed results.
