Check Client Disqualifications List before booking any service.

1 MONTH PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT

Avoid beauty services such as; facials, chemical peels, Botox, lasers, injections, micro-needling, microdermabrasion etc. These treatments accelerate the skin's exfoliation and the generation of new skin cells, potentially thinning the skin and making it more challenging to tattoo. Additionally, they may cause adverse skin reactions.
Discontinue skincare products that contain retinol ingredients. When it comes to permanent makeup procedures like ombre brows, discontinuing the use of retinol prior to the appointment is advised for several reasons such as: Skin sensitivity, peeling, inconsistency with color and negatively impacting the healing process.

1 WEEK BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Do not stop, start, or change any medicine, vitamin, or supplement for a PMU appointment unless a healthcare professional tells you to do so. Tell Focus during intake about anything that may affect bleeding, bruising, skin, immunity, or healing. Your appointment may require postponement or written clearance.

• Avoid starting new acids, retinoids, peels, exfoliants, or irritating products before your appointment.

• Do not exfoliate the treatment area to improve pigment absorption. Contact the studio if the area is irritated, peeling, sunburned, broken, infected, or healing.

• Follow the service-specific preparation instructions provided by Focus.

24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Avoid caffeine (coffee, tea) and alcohol 48-24 hours minimum prior to your session to minimize bleeding, oozing, swelling and ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Wash your hair a few days before as you’ll want to avoid getting your brows wet for the first 1-2 weeks of surface healing.
No waxing or threading brows 5-3 days prior to your session.

GENERAL HEALING FOR PMU / TATTOOS

Wash your hands before applying aftercare products. Apply only as directed and avoid excessive use.

• Do not touch, scratch, or pick at the tattoo. This can introduce bacteria, cause scarring, and lead to premature pigment loss or infection.

• Avoid exfoliants, chemical peels, retinol, vitamin C, and acids on the tattoo for four weeks after treatment.

• Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, heavy sweating, swimming, hot showers, tubs, and saunas during early healing.

• Contact Focus Microblading and a healthcare professional if healing is worsening or you develop a rash, bumps, increasing redness, swelling, warmth, drainage, or pain. Seek prompt medical care for fever, chills, difficulty breathing or swallowing, facial or throat swelling, eye or vision symptoms, or bleeding that will not stop.

OMBRE POWDER BROWS

Avoid direct sunlight, hot showers and excessive sweating.
Prevent brows from getting wet in the shower, avoid excess moisture on brows.
Use a lightly dampened cotton round and gently press on your brows every hour (10 seconds at a time) until bedtime after initial procedure (day 1) only.
Gently cleanse the area AM/PM without scrubbing, then pat dry with a paper towel or let air dry.
Avoid using ointment, unless your skin is very dry. Too much moisture can affect your healing.

LIP BLUSH & NEUTRALIZATION

Day 1 - Your lips may swell during and after the procedure and should subside within 72 hours. If you need pain relief, ask a pharmacist or healthcare professional which nonprescription option is safe for you based on your health conditions and current medicines. Do not take, skip, or change medicine solely to affect bleeding or discomfort without professional medical advice.

• Day 2 and after - Apply a pea-size amount of Aquaphor up to four times a day. Avoid excessive use.

• Scabbing may occur 3-5 days after treatment. Do not touch or pick at the scabs; let them fall off naturally.

• Avoid kissing, sharing drinks or food, smoking, and spicy foods. Drink through a straw during early healing.

• Lips may take 8-12 weeks to fully heal. A follow-up session may be recommended based on the healed result.

EYELINER LASH LINE

Please treat your eyeliner as an open wound for the first 10-12 days post treatment. Slight redness and irritation are expected depending on your skin sensitivity. Apply a clean ice pack for 10 min intervals, as needed.
Wash eyelid with water, Dial Anti-bacterial soap and pat dry with paper towel. Do not rinse off soap with water. Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment after. Repeat 1-3x a day if necessary.
Do not use or apply any other products or makeup, such as eyeliner or mascara, on your eyelids for the next 10-12 days. Avoid using harsh chemicals, products near eye area to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS?

Consultation is done the day of your appointment. You will fill out our consent and medical history form. Brow designs are drawn with a pencil so you get an idea of the shape and form of the tattoo. Once we have agreed on a final shape, we’ll begin!

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TOUCH UPS?

Touch up may be required after inital procedure for desired results. We recommend touching up once a year to maintain color.

Pricing varies based on how long it's been since your initial procedure / last touch up. Anything after 3 years is considered a new set.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

It’s important to remember that results will vary per individual. How the skin will react to the procedure is different for everyone and there are many factors to take into consideration.

Pre-care, aftercare, skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products, medication, lifestyle habits, old tattoos, tattoo removals, etc, they all play a key role in how the pigment will hold.

Please note that more than one touch up session may be required.

PREVIOUS WORK DONE BY ANOTHER ARTIST?

If your brows have previously been done by a different artist, you will have to book a new set, which is considered a correction. Touch ups are only for existing clients.

Please send us pictures (full face front view & profile) via text 408-202-5369 or email prior to booking.

Booking an appointment without disclosing previous cosmetic tattoo work will result in a forfeiture of your deposit and your appointment will be cancelled.
