MICROSHADING IS INSERTING PIGMENT INTO THE BASAL LAYER OF THE SKIN (EPIDERMIS). IT IS A FORM OF TATTOOING, THOUGH SEMI-PERMANENT, IT IS

CONSIDERED A PERMANENT MARKING. ALL INSTRUMENTS THAT ENTER THE SKIN OR COME IN CONTACT WITH BODY FLUIDS ARE DISPOSABLE, AND DISPOSED OF AFTER USE. CROSS CONTAMINATION GUIDELINES ARE STRICTLY ADHERED TO. MICROSHADING IS NOT MICROBLADING; TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FORMS OF PERMANENT MAKEUP. MOST CLIENTS POTENTIALLY RECEIVE A TOUCH-UP 6-8 WEEKS AFTER INITAL BROW SESSION, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS VIRGIN BROW SESSION. THERE ARE POSSIBLE RISKS AND SOMETIMES EVEN COMPLICATIONS, THEREFORE, IT IS ADVISED TO READ THIS FORM IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT DIRECTLY. 

RISKS/COMPLICATIONS:

PAIN: THERE CAN BE PAIN EVEN AFTER THE TOPICAL ANESTHETIC HAS BEEN

USED ANESTHETICS WORK BETTER ON SOME PEOPLE THAN ON OTHERS.

ANESTHETICS: TOPICAL ANESTHETICS ARE USED TO NUMB THE AREA TO BE

TATTOOED. LIDOCAINE, PRILOCAINE, BENZOCAINE, TETRACAINE, AND/OR

EPINEPHRINE CREAM AND/OR LIQUID ARE USED.

UNEVEN PIGMENTATION: THIS CAN RESULT FROM MANY REASONS LIKE SKIN

TYPE, AFTER CARE, OR MANY OTHER CAUSES. A TOUCH UP WILL LIKELY

CORRECT ANY UNEVEN APPEARANCE.

ASYMMETRY: EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO AVOID ASYMMETRY, BUT OUR

FACES ARE NOT SYMMETRICAL SO ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NEEDED DURING THE

FOLLOW-UP SESSION TO CORRECT ANY UNEVENNESS.

REDNESS AND SWELLING: VERY RARE BUT SOME PEOPLE SWELL, REDNESS IS

MORE COMMON. THIS TYPICALLY DISAPPEARS WITHIN 2 HRS TO 2 DAYS.

DURING PROCEDURE. THE ALTERNATIVE TO THESE POSSIBILITIES IS TO USE

TRADITIONAL COSMETIC AND NOT UNDERGO THE SEMI-PERMANENT EYEBROW

PROCEDURE.

INFECTION: INFECTION IS VERY UNUSUAL. THE AREAS TREATED MUST BE KEPT

CLEAN, AND ONLY FRESHLY CLEANED HANDS SHOULD TOUCH THE AREAS.
