Advanced Facial Treatments Frequently Asked Questions
Microblading, also referred to as Eyebrow Embroidery, Feather Stroke Brows, 3D Brows, or micropigmentation, is the process of manually implanting color pigment beneath the surface of the skin by means of tiny, sterile, disposable needles to produce the appearance of hair strokes, makeup, and to naturally enhance features of the face.
By definition, micropigmentation is simply the placement of pigment into the epidermis of an individual's skin. The microfine needle points, allow experienced technicians to produce microscopic details when performing this semi permanent procedure. I show fine attention to the detail that comes with the art of 3D scalp micropigmentation to create a realistic hairline and hair density. This procedure is meant for anyone who is dealing with some level of balding or hair thinning. Whether you're completely bald, have a scar on your scalp, or you just have thinning hair and you would like to make your scalp less visible, scalp micropigmentation is the quickest and easiest solution for you.
They are long-lasting eyelashes made from synthetic materials. Extensions are applied directly to the natural lash, using medical-grade, semi-permanent adhesive. This gives natural lashes the appearance of being thicker and longer.
PhiRemoval is a well-designed system with a unique formula that enables tattoo removal while preserving healthy skin. PhiRemoval is conducted in a similar way as tattooing or micropigmenting, with the same equipment (manual and/or machine). The tattoo extraction solution begins working almost immediately after tracing the original tattoo ink, causing the ink to move upward through the skin.
The scab containing tattoo ink is formed over the treated area in the next few days. As the skin is healing, even more unwanted tattoo ink gets drawn out. The scab starts to peel off naturally, extracting the unwanted tattoo ink. You are likely to have a secondary scab containing even more tattoo ink (this is a good thing).

For the same reason doctor and dentist check-ups are necessary: for better health! Skin is a living part of your body (your largest organ, in fact), that defends against environmental assaults and extreme temperatures. It helps eliminate toxins from the body, and it is continually renewing and protecting.
To look and feel its best, your skin needs personal attention from a professional. I am a licensed esthetician educated in skin-health. I will provide answers to your most pressing skin-care concerns. I know how to deliver real, visible results. I am trained to deliver the professional skin treatments that will target your specific needs, and prescribe the products that will help maintain your optimum skin health at home in between facials.
High Frequency is a way to re-texturize and rejuvenate the skin.
The purpose of microblading is to enhance the features with what appears to be undetected, natural looking eyebrows. Microblading is more subtle – it is meant to be a natural-looking enhancement. Traditional body tattoos use electric tools and ink while microblading procedures involve pigments and an manual hand tool.
The results only look natural if:
The correct pigments are used
The correct needles are used
The right frequency is set on the micropigmentation tool
A trained technician is conducting the procedure
The aftercare instructions are followed
*All follow-up procedures are conducted according to the instructions given to you after your procedure The above list of requirements are standard with every procedure performed, so you can rest assured that yes, your results will look natural.
If you would like to remove old, uneven, or bad permanent makeup or microblading, or remove a small body tattoo, then yes, you are a prime candidate. PhiRemoval is one of the safest methods of removing poor quality PMU or tattoos. It is a well-designed system with a unique formula that enables tattoo removal while preserving healthy skin.
You need to come to your appointment with your eyelashes SQUEAKY CLEAN (No mascara, makeup, etc). Note that failure to do so will result in poor retention of your extensions.
During ultrasonic treatment, high level sound wave technology is used to penetrate deep below the surface of the skin promoting cellular renewal and repair, toning muscles, increasing blood circulation, encouraging lymphatic drainage, combating puffiness and swelling and improving skin care product penetration.

A regular facial routine is more about skin health and maintenance than it is about luxury or pampering, although many do find it to be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. Facial services help increase circulation and stimulate the skin. They can also help slow down premature aging and drastically improve conditions such as acne, redness and Rosacea.
Facials are a great preventative treatment to help you beat wrinkles before they occur, and can also help you achieve lighter, brighter, younger-looking skin. In addition to healthier skin, many men enjoy regular facials to help minimize irritation, redness, ingrown hairs, and razor burn associated with shaving.

Since my facials are designed to work on your skin from the neck up, please plan on removing your makeup and/or pulling long hair back. Cosmetics can be reapplied after the service; feel free to bring them with you, or ask about my make-up application services. Men should be clean shaven unless bearded. Other than these few easy steps, simply be ready to relax and enjoy yourself.
SleekBrows is a 3-step technique process that includes: brow shaping, sculpting and building. Shaping is performed via threading or tweezing (my preferred method) and custom tailored for your specific brow shape. Once the shape has been defined the brows are sculpted (for those with sparse brows wanting denser brows) with a special gel and colored powered mix to provide a base on which to build the brow extensions. Brow extension made from synthetic-mink hairs are then individually applied to give a 3D appearance to the brows.
Dermaplaning is a quick, noninvasive, painless procedure in which surface dead skin cells are manually scraped away with a surgical blade in a manual form of exfoliation that can be used with or without chemicals. Dermaplaning requires absolutely no recovery time. It increases cellular turnover, smooths, and softens skin and provides immediate results.
The best way to look at the procedure is as one to three hours of pampering and relaxation. The time variance depends on the desired lash look.Touch-ups take about 45 to 90 minutes. Your natural lashes will need to be completely free of all make-up and oil-based products – in fact, it's best to come with no make-up on at all. Your eyes will be closed and protected the whole time. Most people even fall asleep during the procedure.
If you want to effortlessly look your best anytime, then microblading is for you! If you want to look younger healthier, and more vibrant permanent makeup does wonders! If you’re a busy mom, business woman or have an active lifestyle you’ll save hours every week not having to stand in front of the mirror slaving over applying makeup. Not to mention, you won’t have to worry about sweating it off during a workout or melting by the end of an evening out.
My prices will not be beat! Most other facilities charge anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000 depending on the time spent on the procedure. My prices are around half of that of my competitors. The cost of the procedure depends on the severity of baldness the individual is experiencing. A rough estimate can be given via email by sending pictures to info@beautybrowsbeyond.com, but the true assessment of the work that will need to be done will not take place until an in office consultation takes place.
Everyone has a different levels of sensitivity. An anesthetic is applied for numbing before the procedure to alleviate discomfort. Every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the duration of the procedure. Clients are usually pleased to discover that there is little to no pain during this procedure. PLEASE NOTE: Having this service performed during your menstrual cycle may increase discomfort during your procedure. * If you are a frequent smoker, the topical anesthetics used during the treatment will not last as long. * If you have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, be aware that this may affect your sensitivity tolerance to the procedure.
When cared for properly, lash extensions will adhere for the entire cycle of hair growth, which is about six to eight weeks, depending on the individual. Of course, if you pull the synthetic lash, it will come off as well. Natural eyelashes are shed on a regular basis, which may result in multiple extension loss on any given day. This is completely normal, and when the natural lash is shed, the synthetic lash will fall with it. Fill-in applications will be necessary every two to four weeks to maintain a full lash line.

Plan to arrive to your first appointment about 5-10 minutes early. You will need to fill out a form, or download and complete forms online before your arrival, listing contact information, allergies and any medications that you are currently taking. At the start of service, I will evaluate your skin using a magnifying lamp, ask you about your goals for your skin, and make recommendations for skincare products and treatments to help you reach those goals. A facial generally consists of a cleansing, exfoliation, steam (in the form of warm towels and/or a machine), massage, a treatment mask, and moisturizer.
Typically 2-3 weeks but with proper aftercare the brow extensions could last longer.
Most definitely NOT! Please do not tweeze, thread, wax or modify your eyebrows in any way for as long as possible, and no sooner than two weeks. The beginning of your service includes a brief consultation, followed by shaping and finally a discussion about color. Your regular brow maintenance of tweezing, threading, waxing and/or tinting may continue once the brows have healed.
Yes, and no.
Tattoo artists use inks that are meant to last an individual's life time. I use semi-permanent pigments that are meant to hold their color for a semi-permanent length of time, and start to fade after a certain period of time, while never changing color; the color just becomes less strong over time.
With tattoos, the ink is placed deep within the skin, so deep, that is draws blood. Scalp Micropigmentation only penetrates the epidermis layer of the skin ensuring little to no pain, detailed semi-permanent results, and color integrity.
With tattoos lasting as long as they do, they can lose color and blur on the edges. This is a property that you cannot afford to have when one has thousands of follicle replications on one's head. I use needles made to be the width of real human hair, and am trained to use the proper method to ensure that each area of the scalp has the proper number of replicated hair for each replicated follicle. In real hair, you can have follicles with just one hair in them, or as many as 5 hair per follicle. I am trained in the subtle nuances that make the whole scalp appear to be covered in real naturally growing hair.
A unique benefit to Sleek Brows products is the ability to correct brow shape and help regrow brows in the correct shape. As a SleekBrows therapist, I am serious about knowing and assisting you in all aspects of eyebrow restoration.
There are a few simple steps to follow to keep synthetic eyelashes looking beautiful.
First, do not cleanse eyes, shower, swim or use a steam or dry sauna for approximately 24 hours after application.
Always be gentle with the lashes
Refrain from using an eyelash curler.
Avoid all oil-based make-up products and eye make-up remover. Chances are, if you are having problems with their eyelash extensions it's because of your make-up remover – just use non-oil-based products, and to treat your lashes gently. It's best to remove make-up with a soft cotton ball to protect the lashes.
Additionally, you should avoid using mascara after extensions are applied.
The length of the procedure depends upon how many passes are needed to remove the pigment. You will also want to add 30 additional minutes to the start of the removal process to allow time for the anesthetic to take effect.
You should never feel irritation, burning or discomfort during your facial. My products are created to be non-irritating, and I am trained to use the best products for your skin type. If for some reason you should feel discomfort, please tell me and the product will be removed immediately.
Chemical Peels are great facial treatments that can significantly improve and smooth the texture of your face by removing the damaged outer layers of your skin. Chemical peels have been proven to help treat acne, wrinkles, skin spots or uneven skin coloring.
Since scalp micropigmentation only penetrates the epidermal layer of the scalp, pain should be minimal to nonexistent even without numbing cream. But your comfort is a very high priority for me. So for those with a lower pain tolerance, I can apply a high concentrate numbing solution to make your experience as easy and pain free as possible.
For best results, I recommend getting the procedure without numbing cream.
If you have an ideal shape and color in mind, please bring a couple reference photos with you to your appointment. You may fill in your eyebrows as you normally would so we may take into consideration the shape you feel most comfortable with. If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded or tinted, please refrain from doing so within a week of your appointment. If there are any stray hairs that fall outside of our final shape, we can remove them. If you plan to go on a vacation, it is recommended to plan your trip a minimum of 30 days after the procedure. We require our clients to avoid any blood thinning medication for a minimum of 72 hours prior to their appointment. This includes Vitamin E, Aspirin, Niacin, fish oil supplements, and Ibuprofen. Do NOT drink any alcohol or caffeine 24 hours prior to your appointment. (Yes, decaf coffee has caffeine!) If you have been on prescription Accutane in the past, you MUST wait at least one year before considering this procedure. It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or a sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will forfeit your deposit. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.
Everyone has a different level of sensitivity. An anesthetic is applied for numbing during the procedure to alleviate discomfort. Every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the duration of the procedure. Clients are usually pleased to discover that it is no more painful than having your eyebrows tweezed or threaded. PLEASE NOTE: Having this service performed during your menstrual cycle may increase discomfort during your procedure. * If you are a frequent smoker, the topical anesthetics used during the treatment will not last as long. * If you have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, be aware that this may affect your sensitivity tolerance to the procedure.
As a qualified esthetician, I will be happy to discuss your treatment options with you. I will help you find the best course of action based on your specific concerns and needs.
When performed by a well trained professional, chemical peels are very safe.
The answer is yes, but since the extensions are black, your lashes probably won't need to be tinted. Wait 24hrs to apply extensions to tinted lashes.
For the same reasons I list how scalp micropigmentation is different than a tattoo, you would not want to go to a tattoo artist for this procedure. They operate different machinery, rotary frequency, needles sizes, and inks which do not hold their shape as well when placed into the skin in such small points.
You will want to review the extensive SleekBrows Post Care Insructions. There are a few simple steps to follow to keep synthetic brow extensions looking beautiful. First, do not cleanse eyes, shower, swim or use a steam or dry sauna for approximately 24 hours after application to allow time for the adhesive/sculpting base to set (avoid getting them wet). Always be gentle with the brow extension, and do not pick, pull, scratch or rub your eyebrows. Oil-based products will soften the bond and make your eyebrows fall/peel off sooner. So avoid these products near the eyebrow area. Chances are, if you have problems with your brow extensions it's because you are using oil-based products – just use non-oil-based products, and treat your brows gently. It's best to remove make-up with a soft cotton ball to protect the brows. As the brows get messier towards the end of their wear, brow mascaras, pencils and powders can be used to fill in the brows.
If at any time you no longer wish to have the brow extensions please call me to schedule an appointment to have them professionally removed.
The skin is healed after about a month. After 6 weeks, you may receive additional PhiRemoval treatments if they are needed. You may not receive any new microblading or tattooing procedures in the treated area until after 3 months of healing.
Although the vast majority of people will have no reaction whatsoever to the adhesive glue used during the procedure, there are rare cases of itchy, dry eyes accompanied by swelling. If you experience these reactions, you will want to seek medical attention if needed.
Peels should not hurt. Client’s at times and depending upon the strength of the peel, may feel tingling sensation or heat flush. Peel formulas will be adjusted based on skin type and individual needs.
Generally, facials are recommended once a month. However, I can discuss your specific needs and desired outcomes in a scheduled consultation. Also be sure to inquire about and purchase one of my facial packages to save when you book your regular facials in advance at Beauty Brows & Beyond, LLC.
Removal of the tattoo or bad PMU doesn’t end after one treatment. It often takes more than one procedure (scheduled 6 weeks apart) to remove everything you are not satisfied with, but the first results are immediately visible.
It is normal to experience minimal swelling and tenderness following your procedure. It doesn’t take very long for it to disappear. Immediately following your treatment the pigment will appear darker than how it will appear once it has healed. Around week 2, the surface color naturally exfoliates to leave a softer color. During week 3 & 4 as the skin completes healing, you will see the pigment darken a bit. A touch-up/correction visit approximately 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment is necessary in order to achieve that richness of color and density in the shape.
The answer is yes, but you will want to wait 24 hours to apply the brow extensions to tinted or bleached brows.
Some people see results immediately, and your skin should feel different right away. The skin feels, clean, smooth, hydrated, and reflects a new level of health that’s visibly noticeable. If the skin has more advanced long-term needs, such as treatment of skin aging, acne or hyper-pigmentation caused by hormonal fluctuations or sun damage, results may not be immediately visible; however, skin health will continue to improve as you follow my advice and continue your home-care regimen.

Your brows will appear darker and more intense than expected for the first week or so. This will gradually lighten during the complete healing process. Redness and swelling is minimal. Please view the detailed Pre & Post Care Instructions.
I use chemical peels primarily for facial treatments.
The product is completely safe – the primary ingredient in all of my adhesives is the same basic ingredient used by plastic surgeons to close wounds without using stitches.
There are very few circumstances where an individual would not be helped by this service. To know with 100% certainty would require an in-office visit. Please fill out the contact form or give me a call today to setup your initial consultation.
Length of treatment is dependent upon the type and strength of the peel being used. Generally, peels may be done every 2-3 weeks.
This all depends on an individual's body chemistry and how well they take care of their scalp. For some people who spend a lot of time outside (in the sun), they will need a touch-up within a year after the procedure. Others, if they keep their scalp moisturized and protected from the sun, can have their longer lasting results.
I am a certified esthetician and lash extensionist and will conduct the service.
Before application of the lash extensions, a patch test can be conducted 24 hours in advance to ensure that there is no allergic sensitivity. The vast majority of people will have no reaction whatsoever to the products used during the procedure. If you experience any reaction, you may need to seek medical attention.
After the procedure, you will need to keep the treated area dry for 48 hours. You will also want to make sure that you use the aftercare products and follow the aftercare instructions. Failure to follow aftercare may affect healing of the treated area(s) and your results.
In addition:
Do NOT use any cosmetics in the treated area for 10-14 days.
Do NOT peel the scab; allow it to fall off naturally.
Do NOT have direct exposure to the sun or use tanning beds for 2 weeks.
Do NOT use baths, suanas, and pools for 2 weeks.
Do NOT have facial or body treatments in the treated area for 3-6 weeks.
Removal of the tattoo or bad PMU doesn’t end after one treatment. It often takes more than one procedure to remove everything you are not satisfied with, but the first results are immediately visible. If only the epidermis is affected, usually there are no traces or scars because the base layer epidermal cells are able to regenerate completely.
Please review the detailed Pre & Post Care Instructions. It is highly beneficial to follow these instructions to ensure a comfortable healing process and to achieve the best possible results. DO NOT rub or pick the healing area as the color will peel off prematurely, also avoid extreme heat, sweating, and contaminated bodies of water (such as saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, pools, lakes, and places with hot humidity, etc.).
Plain and simple: healthy skin! And healthy skin is better-looking skin. The products I use are designed to help keep your skin at an optimal level of fitness – not just cover up with cosmetic results. In addition, when your skin is at an optimal level of fitness, as a professional, I can more effectively address issues that may arise from time to time, as your skin’s needs are constantly changing.
After your last treatment session, you must wait 3 months before receiving an additional procedures(microblading, tattoo, etc).
Clients looking to looking to improve the texture and appearance of their skin due to damage from aging, the sun, acne, acne scarring, or dark spots from pregnancy.
No, but as part of the consult, I will talk with you about the products you are using. Many products from drug stores or beauty counters contain ingredients that cause or contribute to skin issues such as dryness, oiliness and redness.
Sleek Brows extensions are a temporary service that will provide you with denser defined eyebrows. When the extensions become worn, either replace them, or have them professionally removed when you’re tired of the look. Phibrows microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattooing that can last for 6 months up to 2 years (depending on skin type and conditions). This process is for those who want a long-term solution to fuller brows. For those wanting to ‘road-test’ a filled in look SleekBrows extension is a great way to test how you would feel before committing to the longer-term PhiBrows semi-permanent tattoo.
It is not necessary to have dark hair for this procedure to work for you. All of my pigments are custom blended to match your natural hair color, so there is no hair color that I will turn away. To get a free consultation regarding your concerns, please call or reach me via the contact form.
Appointments may be made by texting: (571) 549-1177 (Please allow 48 Hours for text response time due to high volume of inquiries). Please note that a deposit is required to schedule and secure your appointment and is deducted from the total price of your service. This deposit is to ensure that you are serious about your appointment and is non-refundable.
Microblading is a cosmetic tattoo. The pigment will fade over time and we recommend to get a touch up annually to keep them looking their best. There is no guarantee in how long it lasts as each individuals skin will respond differently. Frequency of touch-ups depends on a number of factors including: skin type, pigment selection, lifestyle (sun exposure), iron deficiency (your body absorbs iron-oxide as a supplement), chemical peels, etc. Please note that final results can not be guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and break down at different rates. I will re-evaluate how your skin has received the pigment at your touch-up appointment and make any changes necessary.

Similar to the seasons, skin goes through its own fluctuations. Combine nature’s weather cycle with air conditioning and forced-air heating, and you have skin that’s constantly under assault. Cold winds and low temperatures can dry out skin, depriving it of balanced levels of oils, contributing to dryness, sensitivity and premature aging. Prolonged exposure to the sun causes water to evaporate from skin, which is why skin that has recently been burned or tanned requires more moisturization than unexposed areas. Forced-air heating also dries out skin: warm, dry air acts like a sponge, soaking up moisture from everything it touches.
To help skin stay healthy with the seasons, we can discuss modifying your skin care regimen accordingly. Chances are that with a few product updates, you can keep skin healthy year-round.
I use peels from Dermalogica, Image, and PCA. The types of peels used are:
Glycolic: A type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that comes from sugar cane. It’s one of the most popular acids and can be used on almost any skin type. When used, glycolic can help remove the top layer of the skin and promote the production of elastin and collagen.
Lactic: A type of Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that derives from milk. It is best for people who have sensitive, dry skin, are treating age related imperfections like wrinkles under the eyes and around the mouth area, as well as pigmented skin types.
Modified Jessners: Is a medium peel derived from a mixture of acids used to treat a variety of skin conditions from melasma, freckles, acne, sun damage to rosacea.
Enzymatic: A type of peel derived from a variety of natural fruit ingredients. This peel provides gentle exfoliation and is suitable for all skin types.
Sun exposure: The sun will extremely soften the look of your tattoo, so a physical sunscreen should be used (once healed) to prolong your enhancement. The regeneration of skin cells: The longer the regeneration takes, the longer the pigment holds. The speed at which the skin absorbs the pigment: The slower the absorption, the longer the pigment will hold. The choice of pigment color: Some colors may fade quicker than others, e.g. a blonde pigment may fade quicker than a dark brunette pigment. Bleeding during the procedure: Any bleeding during the tattooing procedure will reduce the amount of pigment absorption. Caffeine, alcohol, and certain medications act as blood-thinners and should avoided 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Yes! PhiRemoval is used on all areas of permanent makeup (brows, eyes, lips) and even other areas of the body.
This depends on the amount of coverage needed on the scalp, but it can range from 1 to 3 hours during which time, you will be on an esthetic bed for your comfort throughout the procedure.
The high frequency facial is a popular facial treatment with real results in the fight against acne and congestion. While following the same format as a classic facial, the treatment is elevated with the inclusion of both ozone steam and direct high frequency current.
Results can vary by individual and skin type, are gradual, and will not just occur over night. Continued regular treatments will provide more cumulative long-term, lasting results.
If only the epidermis is affected, usually there are no traces or scars because the base layer epidermal cells are able to regenerate completely.
All equipment used during the procedure is 100% sterile and is disposed of immediately after the procedure is complete. Also, following the aftercare instructions will ensure proper healing and yield the best results.
Sun exposure: The sun will extremely soften the look of your tattoo, so a physical sunscreen should be used (once healed) to prolong your enhancement. The regeneration of skin cells: The longer the regeneration takes, the longer the pigment holds.

Bleeding during the procedure: Any bleeding during the tattooing procedure will reduce the amount of pigment absorption. Caffeine, alcohol, and certain medications act as blood-thinners and should avoided 24 hours prior to your appointment.
During your appointment, I will analyze your skin tone to anticipate how pigment colors will heal and fade in the future. We will also mix pigments to ensure the color blends well with your natural hair and skin color. In some cases, however, the color may fade to different tones according to the individual’s response to the pigments (like lifestyle and iron deficiencies). Many factors affect these changes. At your follow up appointment, I will re-analyze how your body has responded to the initial color. If needed, color adjustments may be made at this time.Your eyebrow tattoo will eventually look softer.
To keep your brows looking their best, a refresher appointment is suggested every 12 months. Results and preferences vary with each client.On average, expected time until a new color refreshment is between 10 and 12 months. With oily skin it is up to 6 months.
Yes. Many of my clients have achieved amazing results by combining their chemical peels with many other safe and gentle skin rejuvenating technologies.
Yes, most clients have had hair transplants (HT) but did not recieve the amount of hair density they wanted or they simply just want their HT scar covered up. I provide both services; Scalp Micropigmentaion and Scar Camouflage (depending upon the type of scar).
The tools used for a direct high frequency treatment include the wand to conduct electricity and the gas filled glass electrode. The electrical current passes through the electrode and reacts with the stable gas inside, causing the oxygen particles between the electrode head and the skin to disable and transform into Ozone. Ozone has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties which penetrate into the deeper skin levels to promote healing, kill germs and dry out spots. The mild electrical current warms the tissue and increases blood flow, enables better penetration of products and aids in the repair of collagen and elastin.
You must be 18 years or older to receive PhiRemoval.

Light Peels – Take approximately three to five days to complete the shedding process. No downtime required.
Medium Peels - Persist for five to seven days. The skin may or may not flake and fall away. AHAs can produce some redness with little or no flaking, depending on the individual.
Deep Peels – I do not perform deep peel treatments.
Acne Fighter - People who have oily congested skins, breakouts, inflammation or acne. High frequency is painless and causes very little reaction to the skin surface, making it great for skin that is too inflamed for other treatments. The high frequency will start working instantly as it starts to sooth and heal the skin, with results becoming more visible over the following days.
Anti-aging - High frequency is also effective as an anti-aging tool. The warmth from the electrical reaction warms the tissue, causing increased blood flow to promote collagen and elastin repair.
If you have extremely oily skin, the microblading technique may NOT work well for you. The constant production of oil will cause the hairstrokes to heal with a diffused, softer look. Your end result will look more powdered instead of a crisp hair stroke appearance. If you are a frequent smoker, your pigment will fade sooner. If you are iron deficient or anemic, your pigment will fade sooner and bleeding/bruising may occur during and after the procedure.
If you are planning on having a hair transplant done in the near future, you can still have the procedure done, just be aware that a hair transplant strip scar may prevent you from wanting to shave your head and will require additional work to cover up your new scar once it has healed. For the Scalp Micropigmentation process to give you the best results possible, I highly recommend getting done follicular unit extraction instead of the strip approach. This makes it so that you will not have the linear scar associated with strip removal hair transplants.
Yes, clients with rosacea may receive chemical peels.
You must be 18 years or older to receive Microblading.
Cost of procedure is dependent upon several factors:
Size of the area treated.
Location of the area treated.
Number of treatment sessions needed to remove the pigment.
High frequency treatments are not recommended for people who have the following conditions.
•Pregnancy •Heart disease or have a pacemaker •Metallic implants •High blood pressure •Epilepsy •Rosacea •Spider veins or broken capillaries

The procedure removes layers of dead skin and “peach fuzz” or vellus hair from the face. It removes barriers from the skin so that products can penetrate deeper making them more effective. It also reduces recent acne scars and fine lines. Dermaplaning can be repeated every 30 days or as needed.
All skin types will benefit from this removal of the top layer dead skin cells. Mostly skin types that are: oily, sun damaged, hyperpigmentation, acne prone skin, bothersome facial hair and large pores.
Your dermaplaning treatment will last 30-45 minutes depending if you are combining other services such as a chemical peel. After the treatment, special clinical products are applied and designed to brighten, hydrate and protect your skin from UV damage.
When performed by a well trained professional, dermaplaning is very safe.
No. This is physiologically impossible. There are two types of hair that grow on your body. Vellus hair, which when cut or removed will grow back the same size and shape, therefore, the main structure of vellus hair does not change and is not altered by dermaplaning. Terminal hair however, is physiologically coarse. When this hair type is cut it will always grow back coarse. Dermaplaning is designed to treat the vellus hair which is located on the face. Once vellus hair is cut it will maintain a blunt edge and this blunt edge will not physiologically alter the hair itself.
Dermplaning is usually performed every three to four weeks. Treating the skin in this manner actually removes about two-three weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. The skin needs to complete its normal thirty day rejuvenation cycle before the treatment is done again.
Occasionally the skin will peel after a dermaplane. If the procedure is done in two week intervals, the growth cycle of your hair may not be complete; therefore you are treating skin unnecessarily. This may cause peeling to occur.
When performed by a well trained professional, ultrasonic is very safe.
No. Unlike other invasive treatments such as cosmetic surgery, high frequency skin care treatment is very safe and does not cause any discomfort or pain. If you are new to the application of high frequency, it may take some time to get used to the gentle buzzing sensation experienced during treatment. Because high frequency can sometimes be drying to the skin (especially during the winter months) we suggest following up with a quality moisturizer following treatment to prevent against any discomfort due to redness. Clients with acne prone skin will want to use an oil-free moisturizer following treatment.
Ultrasonic will be used for facial treatments.
A full ultrasonic facial will last 30-45 minutes, add on 10-15 minutes. For exfoliation, clients may receive ultrasonic treatment one to two times a week. If using to penetrate product, it may be used daily.
All skin types will benefit from this treatment.
You may feel a slight tingling during treatment and hear a buzzing sound. Facial sensitivity rates vary from individual to individual. For best results, the key is treatment consistency (please ask about one of our treatment packages).
Results can vary by individual and skin type, are gradual, and will not just occur over night. Although Ultrasonic treatment has been shown to produce an immediate and temporary firming effect, continued regular treatments will provide more cumulative long-term, lasting results..
Yes. Many of my clients have achieved amazing results by combining their ultrasonic treatments with many other safe and gentle skin rejuvenating technologies.
On its own, high frequency promotes exfoliation and/or penetration of product into the skin. At each treatment session, though, I will use high quality hydrating and moisturizing products to enhance this treatment.
I recommend against using receiving ultrasonic on skin that is prone to excessive amounts of broken capillaries or rosacea. Having a few broken capillaries or small areas of redness is fine.
No, you should not use ultrasonic treatment during pregnancy.
No, you should not use ultrasonic treatment if you have a pacemaker or other electrical device.

Because high frequency can sometimes be drying to the skin (especially during the winter months) we suggest following up with a quality moisturizer following treatment to prevent against any discomfort due to redness. Clients with acne prone skin will want to use an oil-free moisturizer following treatment.
High Frequency can be used on almost any part of the body. The primary areas treated are the face and back.
High Frequency can be done daily. Total treatment time should not exceed 5 minutes per day for the facial area. Treatment of general body area including scalp should not exceed 10 minutes per day. The recommended treatment time will vary depending on your skin type and individual concern(s). More frequent application or applying beyond recommended treatment time will not enhance results and may cause redness. High frequency can be drying especially during the winter months. So if you find that your skin gets too dry with treatment, I recommend restricting your treatment to once every 4-5 days and following up with a quality moisturizer.
All skin types will benefit from this treatment. Individual’s with skin types that are: oily, acne prone skin, mature/aging may find that they receive more benefit. It is a safe, natural and gentle alternative to expensive cosmetic treatments, plastic surgery and harsh acne topicals.
High frequency is a low level oscillating current that can be very soothing, relaxing and revitalizing. A slight tingling or zapping will be felt during treatment. Facial sensitivity rates vary from individual to individual. I can lower or raise the intensity during treatment to suit your personal comfort level. The device is effective even at the lowest intensity setting so it is not necessary to use an extremely high power level to achieve the maximum benefits from treatment. For best results, the key is treatment consistency (please ask about one of our treatment packages).
Using a special conductive medium during high frequency treatment to improve glide is not necessary and will not improve the performance or benefits derived from treatment. For best results we advise applying your favorite skin care lotion, cream or serum to your skin prior to high frequency application (for anti-aging treatment). Those with acne-prone skin can apply their acne lotion or cream following high frequency treatment to avoid redness associated with over-drying the skin.
Some will notice a difference after one treatment (improved skin tone, tightening effect, improvement in the appearance of acne) while others will require more treatments to recognize the full benefits. As is true with any holistic, in-home skin rejuvenation system, results are cumulative and can vary by individual skin type and concern. Each treatment builds upon the last. High frequency can also greatly maximize the benefits of your current creams, lotions and serums by helping them to absorb much more deeply below the dermis than if you simply use them on a standalone basis. If you have been disappointed by the performance of your existing skin care product line-up, use the device in conjunction with them and notice the difference.
Yes. Many of my clients have achieved amazing results by combining their high frequency treatments with many other safe and gentle skin rejuvenating technologies. High frequency works on skin toning rather than muscle toning. If you plan on using muscle toning machines such as microcurrent, galvanic and/or ultrasonic I recommend using high frequency FOLLOWING these applications so that your skin will realize the full benefits of combined treatment. Other treatments such as light based red and blue LED therapy may be used prior to or following high frequency, or depending on your personal preference.
On its own, high frequency promotes a natural exfoliation of the skin using enriched oxygen molecules and is a much more gentle rejuvenation process. At each treatment session, though, I will use high quality hydrating and moisturizing products to enhance this treatment.
I recommend against using receiving High Frequency on skin that is prone to excessive amounts of broken capillaries or rosacea. Having a few broken capillaries or small areas of redness is fine.
As a precaution, I recommend avoiding high frequency treatment during pregnancy.
You should not receive high frequency if you have a pacemaker or other electrical device.
Traditionally, violet (argon) electrodes have been used by skin care professionals to treat acne prone skin. It is important to note that the violet electrodes do not in any way, produce harmful UV rays as the light that they emit does not fall within the skin damaging ultraviolet spectrum. The orange (neon) electrodes are generally used to treat aging skin because they are said to direct more warmth to the treatment area which improves product penetration, promotes blood circulation and encourages cellular turnover. For the treatment of thinning hair and to promote healthier scalp conditions, I will use the violet electrodes to cleanse the area and rid of follicle blocking bacteria and the orange electrodes to promote blood circulation.
