Great microblading is not a beautiful result directly after treatment. It is a crisp, natural, long-lasting result once healed. Aleksandra Maniuse-Founder Deluxe Brows Microblading is a manual technique of hyper-realistic eyebrow drawing using a single use, sterile and disposable tool which consists of very fine pins. The tool is dipped into pigment, then a hair shape is scratched/implanted into the skin to the basal layer of the dermis. It is a form of tattooing. The shape of the brow is based on facial morphology and the Golden Proportion (phi 1.618). Before Your Microblading Session These products cause bleeding, making it difficult to implant pigment which will effect pigment retention: NO Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Ibuprofen 24 hours before. Fish oil, krill oil and even garlic can cause bleeding-avoid before your session. NO caffeine, alcohol or energy drinks on the day of the session. Do not tan or have a sunburn. Do not tweeze, wax or tint 3 days before. Do not work out the day of your session. Confirm you have had lidocaine before (like in dental work or skin biopsy). Confirm metal allergy with patch test or waive patch test. No chemical peels, microdermabrasion or other intense treatments before permanent makeup procedure. Causes skin irritation and faster cell rejuvenation, which can cause pigment loss. Botox injection-microblading first, then botox after 1 month. If botox is done already wait 1 month. Please note-you will be more sensitive around your menstrual cycle. Avoid scheduling before or during your cycle-you will be very uncomfortable! Page 1 of 5
The Main Pigment Fading Factors 1. Weak after care the scab will appear and pigment will fall off with the scab 2. Oily skin type / young skin / metabolism / big pores 3. Scars 4. Mechanical or chemical treatment (peels, dermabrasion, mesotherapy, laser) 5. Improper depth 6. Glycol, retinol products or/and treatments 7. Amount of melanin in the skin After Care Instructions There are a range of aftercare options and approaches-permanent makeup artists have many preferences. I have seen the best results from the following method: 1. The day of your treatment: wash your brow 3 to 5 times with a gentle cleanser followed by a thin application of salve (provided to you). This removes lymph which causes scabbing. 2. The day after your treatment: simply apply a thin layer of salve to your brows 3-5 times per day. Oily skin types can do less, dry skin types should do more. Avoid getting them wet! For the first 7 days following your microblading service: NO makeup, creams, lotions, ointments, etc. on your brows. Except for your healing salve! NO sauna, pools, steam, sunbathing, lakes, etc. Do not be alarmed if you see pigment on the gauze, as this is excess pigment and/or body fluid that is naturally exiting your skin. In case of itching, Bactine can be used, which contains lidocaine and benzalkonium chloride. It will also disinfect the area. Do not use any other ointments or creams with vitamins on eyebrows. Do not rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring. Avoid heavy sweating for the first 7 days. Do not apply creams containing glycolic acid or Retin-A to face or neck for 10 days. No facials, botox, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for four weeks. Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 7 days. Eyebrows will appear darker and bolder due to natural scabbing and healing for the first 10 days. Healing of deeper strokes might last between 14-21 days. Drinking alcohol in excess can lead to slower healing time. Wear sunglasses and sunscreen (after 7 days) to protect your permanent makeup and prevent fading from the sun. Page 2 of 5
1. The day after: When your new brows are completed, they will appear too dark. This is temporary. You are seeing pigment in both layers of your skin (epidermis and dermis). The top layer of your skin sheds and renews itself every few days and with this natural process the pigment in the top layer will peel off. This initial dark look will not last. Only the color in the dermis (second layer of skin) will be long lasting. If you are happy with your new permanent cosmetic color and darkness when you leave your first session, then you will be unhappy within one to three weeks. For this reason, it is important for you to be patient and let your skin heal. 2. Permanent makeup is a layering process of carefully implanting microscopic colors into the dermis. In cases of camouflaging scars and corrective makeup the goal can only be achieved through repeated applications and refinements to the previous applications after healing. I would always rather apply LESS than TOO MUCH. Generally eyebrows lose 10-20% of their original color after healing. 3. Touch-up visit: ONLY AFTER 6 WEEKS! Your skin needs time to heal completely before another microblading treatment. The goal of this visit is to fill in any areas that need enhancement or address areas that have healed with a loss of pigment. Every person is unique and I cannot predict how your makeup will heal-variables include: proper after care, age of client, condition of skin, products client uses, sun exposure, permanent facials/peels, etc. If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin, please contact Susan Ruoff immediately to discuss further instructions. (231) 883-5494. Not everyone heals the same way or in the same time frame. This is a general timeline: Day 1: I love my new brows! Days 2-4: I don t like this color, it s too dark. Days 5-7: Oh no! My brows are peeling! Days 8-10:?!?!? My brows are gone!! Days 14-28: Thank goodness my brows are coming back-still looking patchy and uneven. Day 42: After touch up-they are beautiful!

Although Microblading is effective in most cases, no guarantee can be made that a specific client will benefit from the procedure. Generally, the results are excellent, however, a perfect result is not a realistic expectation. It is usual and advised to expect a Touch-up after healing is completed-this is included in the fee. Health Concerns In order to perform the eyebrow tattoo procedure in a safe manner, please read the following health concerns carefully: The contraindications are not only for your well-being and safety, but mine as well.

CLIENT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE FOLLOWING RISKS: CLIENT INITIAL EACH PLEASE Despite the application of the most advanced and top quality pigments, allergic reaction is possible but rare. The client is informed about this and she/he assumes liability Small scabs may occur after the first treatment (depending on the skin structure) which can cause a loss of pigment and/or change in color intensity, thus one or more additional treatments may be necessary In the first 7 days eyebrows are up to 20% darker and 10-15% thicker. How color appears depends on the natural skin pigment The pigment is absorbed differently due to variations in skin quality, thus there is no warranty for treatment success The eyebrow shape is determined according to the face proportions Page 4 of 5
I HAVE had lidocaine before and HAVE NOT had a reaction (tooth repair/skin procedures) The minimum or maximum duration of microblading procedure cannot be determined with certainty, nor can a warranty be given on performed treatment The first touch up is done six weeks after the treatment. For oily skin it may be necessary to perform more corrections. Any touch up fees may apply for future appointments if touch ups are desired Permanent makeup always leads to skin injury. Therefore, it is important to carefully and gently nurture your skin after the treatment to allow healing without complications. Inadequate care in the healing phase of the skin can lead to poor results and Venus Beauty Inc. cannot be liable for it Permanent makeup is an art and not a science. Client s results will vary and using a makeup pencil or brow powder may still be needed after treatment If you have metal allergy you must have a 24 hour patch test!!!! You may waive a patch test, however, your reaction to pigment may be detrimental to your brow treatment and results. NO METAL ALLERGY YES METAL ALLERGY 24 HOUR PATCH TEST 24 HOUR PATCH TEST WAIVED I confirm that I have read and understood the above information All of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction The treatment procedure and post-treatment care were explained to me in detail and I agree with it After care instructions & supplies were given to me to take home VENUS BEAUTY LOUNGE is a licensed body art facility by the State of Michigan.
