Ink Cosmetics by Lyndsey

Hello! My name is Lyndsey! I am originally from Redlands, Ca. I decided to move to College Station to start my own business! I’ve been doing Microblading for over 7 years now! Ive always loved the beauty industry! I always get asked how I started Microblading, I had gotten my eyebrows done and I was so impressed and knew I had to get trained! So I took a leap of faith and here I am! I love making people feel better about themselves! This is my passion! ♡ My work can see on my instagram @ink_cosmetics_bylyndsey • certified ombre brows & microblading ♡ • brow laminations ♡ • freckles, lip blush ♡ tooth gems ♡ located in b/cs, tx ♡ MUST READ POLICY BEFORE BOOKING. For weekend appointments you must message me! HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT? • The day of your appointment, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or CAFFEINE. • 72 hours prior to your appointment, DO NOT TAKE ADVIL or other blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Niacin or Vitamin E unless medically necessary. • Must not be taking any antibiotics the day of your appointment • Botox should be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the procedure. • Avoid booking during your menstrual cycle as it can increase your pain. • No waxing, tanning or tinting 3 days before. • Arrive with no makeup for your appointment. A lot of wiping of pigment takes place and makeup can get ruined, so save yourself the hassle! • Be prepared for your brows to look a little red and really dark! – don’t worry, they will fade in color 30-50%. You are NOT a suitable candidate for this procedure if you are: • Pregnant • History of Keloids or Hypertrophic scarring • Diabetic (require doctor’s clearance) • Chemotherapy (consult your doctor) • Viral infections and/or diseases • Epilepsy • Pacemaker or major heart problems • Organ transplant • Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.) • Sick (cold, flu, etc.) • Actuate in the past year • Heart conditions, Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure, Poor general health. • Any treatment, medication, or illness that compromises the immune system / healing would make you NOT a good candidate for micro- pigmentation procedures. How long does a microblading treatment take? Microblading is a 2 step process, usually 6-8 weeks apart. It is important to complete both the initial procedure and touch up. STEP 1: The initial procedure takes approximately 2 hours, sometimes little longer. During this time, a consultation is done where we discuss your desired brow look, choose a color tone and draw the initial outline of the procedure area for your approval. Though our faces are NOT perfectly symmetrical (one side is usually flatter than the other), I do my very best to create as much symmetry as possible! As I like to say BROWS ARE SISTERS, NOT TWINS. Once you are satisfied with the basic shape and symmetry, the area is then traced over and semi-permanent pigment is applied with a disposable microblading hand tool. This procedure uses a manual hand tool and not a machine. STEP 2: The second stage of the treatment is a TOUCH-UP appointment. The touch up that takes approximately 1 in half. Touch ups are done no earlier than 5 weeks of your initial procedure and no later than 8 weeks. If you do not schedule your touchup within 8 weeks, you will be required to pay a touch up fee outlined in our touchup schedule. It is IMPERATIVE you complete the touch up treatment. Without it, the results will not be optimal. Color will fade significantly within 4 weeks as the skin heals, peels and fades. The touch up corrects any irregularities in the microbladed hair strokes, color tones and finishes the process. **Occasionally a third touch up (6 weeks later) is necessary for certain clients where the pigment does not take as well to the skin.** How long can I expect it to last? The pigment used in microblading is semi-permanent and can last between 1-3 years. The pigment will begin to fade within 12 months. In order to keep your brows looking fresh, a touch up is recommended every 12 months to 24 months maximum. After 3years, full price for microblading will apply. For clients that choose a softer look and lighter color shade initially or those who did not follow the after care instructions properly may require more frequent touch ups. Factors that will cause your microbladed brow tattoo fade faster: • Iron deficiency • Sun exposure • Exfoliants • low immune systems • Exposure to salt water • Smoking Are Semi-Permanent Eyebrows deemed permanent? Technically, semi-permanent micro-pigmentation is considered permanent because the color is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, the pigment is implanted more superficially than a traditional tattoo, so it naturally fades over time. Does the application hurt? We take every precaution necessary to ensure the microblading procedure is as pain free as possible. A strong topical on anesthetic cream Is used prior to and during the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible. Some clients find the procedure a little uncomfortable while others report no discomfort at all. How long is the recovery or healing time? Immediately after your microblading procedure and in the first 10 days, your brows will appear significantly darker and defined than perhaps your desired look. It may continue to get darker over the next few days as scabs begin to form, however this is not an accurate indication of the finished and healed result. 30-50% of your brow color will fade as the scabs fall off within 7-10 days. In some cases, the scabs may take longer to heal and fall off. DO NOT PICK YOUR SCABS. The pigment is within the scab and you do not want to pull any pigment out of your skin prematurely. We all heal differently and what works on one client may not be effective on another so please do not compare your results. The complete healing process takes approximately 6 weeks. How do you choose a color? We choose a color together by applying small amounts of different colored pigments to the skin near to your brows and selecting the best match for your skin tone, features and personal preference. As a rule of thumb, we closely match the color of your brow hair rather than your current hair color for the most natural results. Can I have my brows microbladed if I’m pregnant? No you cannot have this treatment done if you are pregnant in case of infection. Does it hurt afterwards? The area can be a little sore for the first few hours and tender to touch for a couple days. Can you microblade over an existing brow tattoo? Microblading can be done over an existing brow tattoo, however the old tattoo must be significantly faded for the hair strokes to show through and look natural. Please advise if you have an existing tattoo and submit a picture to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure. Will my microbladed brows look fake? NO! Semi-Permanent makeup is done using a cosmetic tattooing process and our eyebrow pigmentation unique artistry guarantees soft, natural looking eyebrows. When i implant semi-permanent makeup pigment in the skin, it appears more natural looking than topically applied cosmetics. Are there any side effects during or after the procedure? During the procedure there may be some minor bleeding. This depends on the client. If you take blood thinners on a daily basis, then some slight bleeding may occur. Bruising is rare but can occur. There is usually some tenderness for a few days. PLEASE NOTE: THE RESULTS ARE VERY NATURAL AND FULLER LOOKING BROW. INITIALLY, THE BROWS APPEAR DARKER, BUT FADE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO HAVE A TOUCH UP DONE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PREDICT HOW WELL YOUR SKIN WILL RETAIN THE PIGMENT. DUE TO THIS AND MANY OTHER VARYING FACTORS, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR RESULTS
