​
WHY IS SEMI-PERMANENT BROW AFTERCARE IMPORTANT?
​
Good post-treatment care makes up 70% of what ensures your treatment is a success. Please follow to the given aftercare advice, because if you don’t do that, you can lose up to 80% of drawn strokes.
How successful the treatment will be depends on skin quality, post-treatment care and exposure to various external influences.
Healing is usually completed within or up to 28 days, after that it is necessary to add the pigment that was lost during the healing process. If the skin is problematic and oily, several corrections can be made.
​
DO I NEED A PATCH TEST AND WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT?
​
If you are a NEW CLIENT (never had this particular treatment done by Alesja) you MUST book in for your PATCH TEST ASAP. If you don’t arrange your patch test you risk losing your appointment, your deposit and you will also be charged a cancellations fee. Your patch test has to be done 24-48 hours before your treatment.
Please note even if your patch test has been performed and the result was negative, there is still a risk of reacting to the treatment as patch test results might not be accurate.
We advise you to book your appointment a couple days before any important event in case of an allergic reaction.
​
DOES IT HURT?
​
The treatment can be slightly uncomfortable but bearable. It doesn't hurt as such, it is more a sensation. Some clients may experience more swelling and redness than others. Prior to the procedure, a topical anaesthetic will be applied to the brow area to numb the skin (if required). Numbing cream will be provided during the procedure for clients comfort.
