Frequently Asked Questions
What is microblading?
Microblading is a manual form of cosmetic tattooing. It has become very popular in the permanent make up world! Super fine hair strokes are strategically placed into the eyebrow area to create the look of fuller, more symmetrical brows. Pigment/ink is implanted into the skin with a small tool called a microblade. The results are natural and beautiful, taking years off of your appearance and giving your face a gorgeous frame. Results last 1-2 years with proper care. TWO SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED to achieve desired results. Possibly three sessions for certain skin types that may be more resistant.
What’s the difference in microblading, shading and combo brow?
There are different types of semi-permanent eyebrows you can have done:
Microblading: super fine hair strokes implanted into the skin; natural look).
Shading: more of a makeup look, done with tattoo pen. Flat color look rather than hair like strokes.
Combo brow: a combination or hair stokes and shading. You can either have hair strokes in the front on the brow then taper off with shading towards the tail (outsides) or have hair strokes and shading throughout the whole brow..
What is plasma skin rejuvination and does it hurt?
Plasma fibroblast also known as “soft surgery” is a treatment that uses ionized gas to shrink and tighten loose skin, smooth out wrinkles, shrink pores, lift hanging eyelids, contour noses, plump lips, diminish stretch marks, remove skin tags, and more. The probe itself doesn't go into the skin or even touch the skin. The arc causes superficial damage to the upper dermal layer of skin and transmits heat to the lower levels of the skin. This causes the new skin to generate collagen and elastin fibers that can fade as we age. The skin then heals creating new tighter, firmer, younger looking skin. Tiny dots are strategically placed on the treatment area. Those dots (carbon crusts), will stay on the skin for about 5-7 days. After the dots fall off, you will need to wear an SPF 55 or higher daily to protect the fresh new skin underneath. If you do not follow proper aftercare, it is possible to get hyperpigmentation. No sun for 1 month after! Wear sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, etc. There can be minimal discomfort during the treatment, but each client is numbed beforehand, so it is very tolerable. Again, some clients feel nothing, while others say the pain level can be a 2-3 on a scale from 1- 10. Some swelling afterwards is normal.
How long does it take to see results, and how long do the results last?
You will see immediate results, but the skin will continue to tighten and improve over the next 12 weeks. It takes the skin three months to complete a healing cycle and for all the cells to turn over. Treatments can be done 8 weeks apart. Some people may get amazing results and achieve their desired results after only one session, while others may need multiple sessions. It all depends on how your body heals and your lifestyle. The results are basically permanent until the aging process takes over again.
Who is not a candidate for plasma skin rejuvination?
Anyone with an autoimmune disorder, anyone who scars extremely easy, or anyone with skin darker than a level 4 on the Fitzpatrick scale.
What is ISR (Inkless Stretchmark Revision)? Who is a candidate?
A cosmetic procedure that works by creating small wounds in the skin that result in a channel for the customized serums to be absorbed into the skin allowing an improved absorption rate above topical application alone. As with needling this method stimulates natural healing response AND a serum is introduced to further enhance the body’s production response.
This works for anyone with stretch marks that are “healed”. Meaning not red and new. Should be healed at least 4 months before doing ISR treatments. Can take up to 3 treatments to fully resolve.
What is Emergency Removal?
Removal is a saline removal solution that pulls pigment out of the skin by the process of osmosis. So gentle on the skin, it removes ink without scarring.
