Feel free to come with your own makeup and pencils so I can understand your preferences. We will discuss the options together, and I will provide professional advice.

The level of discomfort varies from person to person. Some experience slight tingling during the procedure. I use an efficient and lawful anaesthetic to enhance your comfort.

Risks and Aftercare

How does the healing process work?

After the procedure, you may experience local sensitivity, tingling, and redness. It's important to apply a healing ointment daily and avoid scratching the scabs for optimal results. Healing usually progresses smoothly.

The colour will be intense. Fine scabs usually disappear within 3-7 days, depending on your healing process. You can drive safely. Avoid water, shampoo, soap, or any other products on your eyebrows during this period. I provide detailed instructions. A touch-up session is included in the price and is scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment.
