Risks
-
Pain
There can be pain even after topical anesthetic is applied. Anesthetics work better on some people than others.
-
Infection
Infection is very unusual. Your brows must be kept clean, and only freshly washed hands should touch them. You’ll learn more about this in the aftercare guide.
-
Uneven Pigmentation
This can result from poor healing, infection, bleeding, and many other causes. Hypo- and hyperpigmentation are also risks. You may need to book additional appointments to correct any uneven appearance.
-
Asymmetry
Every effort will be made to avoid stark asymmetry, but the majority of faces are not perfectly symmetrical. Additional sessions may be needed to make adjustments.
-
Excessive swelling or bruising
Some people bruise or swell more than others. Sterile ice packs may help reduce the swelling, and it typically disappears in 1-5 days. Some people don’t bruise or swell at all.
-
Anesthetics
Topical anesthetics are used to numb your brows, such as lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine, or epinephrine gel. If you are allergic to any of these, please let me know immediately.
-
MRI
Because pigments used in permanent cosmetic procedures contain inert oxides, a low-level magnet may be required if you need to be scanned by an MRI machine. You must inform your MRI technician of any tattoos or permanent cosmetics.
-
Allergic reaction
Allergic reactions to pigments are extremely rare, but there is still a chance. I can offer you a patch test a week before your appointment if you’ve ever had a reaction to pigment.
