FAQ Laser Questions

Does this Laser treatment hurt? 

As with any laser, you will experience a heated micro needle sensation. This is very tolerable. We do use numbing cream if you feel uncomfortable, but it is not necessary.

Will  there be any down time?

There is minimal down time with this treatment. Immediately following your treatment you will feel and look like you have a sunburn.  The heated & flushing feeling goes away in a few hours or less. The sunburn may linger a day or so. You can cover with makeup if needed. Between days 2-3 days post treatment you will start to feel a light "sand-paper" like texture to your skin as your cells are sloughing off naturally. Your pigmentation and freckling may appear a little more pronounced as well. At 7-10 days post treatment you will have beautiful glow. 

How often do you recommend this treatment?

This treatment will give you a smoother and more luminous complexion after a single treatment. If you have sunspots, excess pigment, scarring, or fine lines & wrinkles we recommend starting with the package of 3 or 5  sessions. We would recommend doing these sessions 3-4 weeks apart. We highly recommend  a series once a year to maintain your results. This Laser will not only improve your texture and appearance but will also improve your overall skins health.

Does Microblading hurt? 

Microblading is not pain-less but it is also very tolerable. On a scale of 1-10, we would say it is a 2-3. We perform the first pass of microbladed strokes without numbing cream to ensure proper placement & symmetry. This is about 1-2 minutes. We then use a topical lidocaine for the rest of the treatment. Once this is on the rest of the treatment is very comfortable. 

How long does it take?

On average this service takes about 1.5-2 hours total. Measuring and mapping out the brows takes up about 30-45 minutes while the rest of the treatment is the actual microblading.

How long does microblading take to heal? 

It will take approximately 7-14 days to fully heal. We recommend you avoid heat, steam, sweat & humidity for the first week after you get your brows done. Your brows will get darker over the first few days and then start to lightly flake. They will then get significantly lighter between weeks 2-3 weeks post treatment. The hair stokes will then re-appear between 3-4 weeks post treatment. We will then see you 4-6 weeks post to touch up any gaps and reinforce any loss.
