YOUR 4 WEEK HEALING GUIDE
- The process you are about to go through is known as the HEAL. PEEL. FADE. RESULT process.
- Of course, it’s important to remember that everyone’s skin is different and therefore each individual person will have a slightly different experience when following microblading, medical tattooing and permanent makeup aftercare advice.
- In some cases, the process may be slightly quicker and in others may take a little longer.
WEEK 1 (HEAL)
The area begins to dry out, forming a light crust.
WEEK 2 (PEEL)
The crust begins to flake away.
WEEK 3 (FADE)
The new skin underneath looks light and the colour looks faded.
WEEK 4 (RESULT)
The new skin heals and you begin to see the healed result.

THINGS TO REMEMBER:
- Healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised, if you are generally stressed and by poor diet. Please let me know if you are ill for more than a few days during the healing period so I can allow more time between your initial procedure and your follow up.
- Keep in mind that in many cases, during the two week microblading, medical tattooing and permanent makeup aftercare period, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. Your enhancement may not be finished and will likely take a further application to complete the full treatment.
- Loss of some eyelashes during the healing process is a possibility. Lost eyelashes will normally grow back within a 4 month period. (Eyeliner Only)
- If you suffer with cold sores at present or anytime in the past use an anti herpes medication for example Zovirax, 5 times daily for a period of 1 week. If an outbreak does occur it will generally begin on day 3 of the healing process. (Lips Only)
LONG TERM CARE:
- Use a moisturiser/body cream with built in SPF to protect your enhancement daily.
- Use a good sunscreen in hot weather, ideally factor 50 wear sunglasses in hot weather to avoid premature fading of your results. Sun exposure will fade your results prematurely.
- Avoid applying anti ageing skin care directly on the area, these have been known to prematurely fade results.
- If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please tell the technician that you have a cosmetic tattoo.
- Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you will not be eligible to give blood for 4 months.

Sara is amazing at what she does, from the start to finish she really listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. I’m so thrilled with my eyebrows, no more drawing them on in the mornings! She made me feel very comfortable and ensured that I was 💯 happy with what she was going to do and the shape of my brows before starting. I’d thoroughly recommend Sara to anyone who asks (and to those that don’t!) Thank you Sara x
Sara was highly recommended to me and I am so pleased that I went ahead with my powder brow procedure. All steps were explained to me thoroughly and I knew exactly what to expect from start to finish. Sara was so friendly and I was made to feel at ease throughout. We spoke in detail about the shape and colour and she gave me her professional advice on altering my natural shape ever so slightly to get the best results for my face shape. Sara took her time to measure accurately and precisely draw on the shape of the eyebrows whilst talking me through what she was doing and checking that I was happy with everything at all times. The actual procedure was pretty painless and Sara took her time to perfect the shape. After care was explained well and Im over the moon with them! I cannot wait to see my final results in a few weeks time. I would recommend Sara in a heartbeat!
Sara was highly recommended to me and I cannot praise her enough. Sara is so kind, talented, professional and the results are beyond all my expectations. I am thrilled with my new eyebrows. The whole process was explained thoroughly, step by step and the after care has been superb. What I was told would happen, happened. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you Sara.

WOW, WOW, WOW! Sara has done an amazing job giving me back my eyebrows!!
After spending years carrying out loads of research with time spent pouring over random reviews, all of a sudden a friend recommended Sara Duane.
Quickly I looked her up, scanned through her work and decided to book an appointment. I’m so glad I did, she is really professional and knows her trade incredibly well and for anyone who’s unsure, like I was to begin with, you really won’t regret it. The only thing I regret Is not knowing about her sooner!!
Thank you Sara 😘

Sara is a perfectionist in her work, I couldn’t be happier with my semi permanent lip procedure it’s been absolutely amazing. Highly recommend.
I had been considering having a powder brows procedure for a long time since my own eyebrows are pale and hardly visible. Eventually, I plucked up the courage and booked an appointment with Sarah and I am really pleased that I did.
At my first appointment, Sarah carefully explained to me the procedure and what I should expect. Together, we decided the shape and the colour of the powder brows. I appreciated that, while offering suggestions based on her experience, Sarah took into account what I thought and wanted.
On the day of the procedure itself, Sarah took precise measurements before positioning and shaping the powder brows as we had discussed. The procedure itself was quite painless and required little after care. The only discomfort I experienced was a little itching. I was delighted with the result!
I should like also to give credit to Sarah not only for her professional approach, but the great pride that she clearly takes in her work.

If anyone is thinking about having their eyebrows tattooed and feeling nervous about having this done, yet all the time hating your thinning eyebrows, (like I was) then don’t be worried at all and go for it, Sara is lovely and spends the time to get the perfect shape and I honestly love my eyebrows now and am complemented on them all the time. I only wish I had done this sooner. I cannot wait to go back for my second appointment in a few weeks. ❤️😊
Finally got my eyebrows done by Sara after months of looking around and googling recommendations, I literally had about 2 hairs on each brow, so was quite apprehensive and didn’t want the slug look! I knew what I had in mind and Sara gave me her thoughts of what would look best, I’m absolutely delighted with the results and can’t wait for my 2nd appointment in a few weeks, Honestly if you’re thinking of having your eyebrows done I would recommend Sara 100% fusion brows ❤️
Such a talented lady, in just a few hours she has transformed my life. I have always thought I was ugly without makeup, yet the eyebrows Sara has given me has boosted my confidence and I no longer feel that I want to hide from the world. I can’t thank her enough.
Sorted out my lockdown eyebrows with HD brows treatment. Informative, realistic and amazing ‘your brow but better’ results. Highly recommend Sara 👍
Sara completed an amazing transformation of my very flat uninspiring eyebrows. She lifted them and colour matched them perfectly. I am so pleased with them and have such a confidence boost. She was thorough and really clear throughout, offering professional and honest advice.
Had HD brows done by the lovely Sara, it was more of a treatment than just a shape and tint so that was really nice. Sara is so lovely ❤️❤️
I’ve recently had my eyebrows microbladed by Sara and love them. Very professional, explains procedure throughout including after care.
She’s many years of experience.Recommend her to all!

Thanks so much Sara xx
Where do I start. I held out for a while getting my eyebrows microbladed and really did my research because I wanted someone I could trust, and someone I knew who would do an amazing job and Sara didn’t disappoint. In fact, she exceeded my expectations. Sara made me feel so safe and welcome. To start with, all the safety provisions put in place post Covid are very professional and very thorough and at no point did I feel at risk. But the eyebrows.. I cannot thank Sara enough for the absolutely beautiful brows she has given me. She was so careful and really listened to what I wanted but also offered her professional advice and the results. She’s a lovely lady and the whole experience was such a positive one, i highly recommend her to get your permanent make up done!!
If you want a perfectionist for any treatment it would be tattooing your face…. I have just had my brow re-touch with Sara and I am thrilled with the result. Totally professional and extremely thorough. Sara takes her time to explain everything and makes sure that you are 100% happy with what she is doing. The colour and shape of my brows are perfect (No exaggeration). I Could nt go anywhere else. She is super talented and clearly loves what she does.. Thanks Sara
Saw Sara today for a 12mnth top up on my brows, all I can say is they are as amazing as they were before, lasted so well just needed bit of definition back. Sarah is so professional and has such a lovely warm personality, she is extremely talented in what she does and I would highly recommend her! I had been wanting eyebrows for so long and was very apprehensive, at the end of the day your entrusting someone with your face, from start to finish Sara puts you at ease and due to her experience and talent can guide and recommend the best for you, after all we are all individuals ! Anyone thinking about getting their eyebrows improved, go to Sara, you won’t regret it! Xx

Sara does a really good job of reassuring you when you are nervous. My eyebrows look amazing and it didn’t hurt at all using the nano needle. Thanks again Sara! Wedding ready now!
I was nervous about getting my eyebrows done, but Sara made the whole experience very calming and reassuring. She explained the whole process to me before we began and ensured that I was happy with the eyebrows at each stage. I would completely recommend Sara for this, as I am so pleased with the results! Thank you very much Sara�
Wow. Sara is amazing at what she does.
I have been thinking of having my eyebrows microbladed for well over a year. But with something so permanent and on the face I wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing. A friend had recently had the same procedure who then recommended Sara to me. And after seeing my friends results I immediately booked an appointment. Upon arrival of the clinic I was welcomed to a huge reception room that was very clean airy and comfortable. Upon meeting Sara I immediately warmed to her. She was so welcoming and friendly. Sara talked me through the procedure and any anxiety I may have had disappeared. Sara spent a while perfecting the desired shape and once happy got to work. Its apparent Sara is a perfectionist and aims to deliver only her best work, she ensured I was ok throughout the procedure. Sara is a true professional and its clear she loves what she does as she was as excited as I was when I looked into the mirror to see my AMAZING NATURAL eyebrows. After a thank you hug Sara ensured I understood the aftercare. I’m extremely excited to attend my follow up appointment and see my final results. Thank you Sara. Xx

She is amazing. I recently went for my first microblading appointment. She makes you feel very welcomed and everything is explained and professionally handled. She also makes sure you’re reassured and satisfied with the end results. I cannot wait for it to heal and go to my second appointment ultimate eyebrows. Thank you so much Sara.
Wow love my new brows! Confidence is growing by the minute after this!! Sarah is so lovely and a true professional-couldn’t recommend enough! Thank-you Sarah, amazing result! Xx
To say I was nervous, would be a huge understatement. I remember driving to the salon, thinking I am going to turn around and go home, stuff the upfront monies. Well, I walked in and the salon reception was a large bright airy room, very inviting with large black sofas. This lady, who I later realised was Sara looked up, with a bright smile (instantly putting me at ease). Sara was professional, acknowledged my apprehension and reassured me. Spent ages ensuring I was happy with the shape. Explained what she was doing. She washed her hands and used a sterile dressing pack. This lady knows her stuff. The only thing left to say; I LOVE MY BROWS! They are super natural looking. Sorry for the long review; which BTW I NEVER leave reviews, ever! But, credit where credit is due. I would recommend this professional to anyone. Thank you so much, Sara. ��
What fabulous results – I actually have amazing eyebrow now !!! LOVE them! Thanks Sara – such a professional and artist – made me feel completely comfortable and confident with the whole process – totally stress free!
I am so please with my eyebrows and Sara was so gentle with the procedure that it didn’t hurt at all. Sara certainly puts you at ease and I will recommend Sara to my friends and family.
I had micro blading on my eyebrows today and I am so so pleased with them. Sara is an amazing technician, so kind and explains the procedure from the start with clear advice and tailored to you. She is so professional in a clean and bright environment. Easy to find with car parking opposite the salon. I will be looking forward to seeing her in 4 weeks for my review and top up. Well worth the price. �xx
Felt at total ease with Sara after having a consultation & her knowing what and how I wanted my eyebrows! Am so so pleased with them and should have gone to have them done sooner! Will be recommending Sara to friends and family wanting them done �
Absolutely love my new brows! Thank you Sara! I can’t believe how great they look. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone thinking of having semi permanent brows done. Was a little scared before, but Sara totally reassured me and made sure I was happy all throughout the process. Thanks Sara! X
Sara is a true professional and utterly amazing at what she does. I was amazed to win Sara’s Facebook competition and now totally in love with my new brows � Sara is very calming and takes her time which shows in her work. I can’t thank you enough Sara you have made me one happy lady, I feel privileged to wear your work on my face.xx
Sara is a true professional, but also is friendly and caring and only wants the best possible outcome for her clients. She takes her time to get what is right for you personally. I cannot thank her enough for giving me back my eyebrows……no more pencilling in for me!! Amazing eyebrows from an amazing lady X
I have been looking for years for someone as skilled as Sara Duane to do my semi perm. eyeliner. She is professional, supportive, highly knowledgable, and the best person you can imagine to deal with such a sensitive and important area. Highly recommended.
Sara is so lovely and professional. She listened to what I wanted and worked with me to achieve the look i wanted. Her work is first class and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Had my brows done yesterday, was scared stiff of the pain I expected to go through. Sara took her time to go through the process & preparation, the carried out the microblading. The numbing cream did its job it felt like being drawn on with a biro. Not painful, only a bit uncomfortable towards the end. The result however are fantastic, my brows look ‘on fleek’…so very very pleased & am telling everyone I meet who is checking out my brows.. X
So happy with my end result true professional – had my eyebrows done by 3 people over the last 10years and Sarah s my best by far even keep my OCD at bay and that’s not easy she took her time for perfection
thank u hunni c u next year xx
thank u hunni c u next year xx
Sara is a lovely lady and totally puts you at ease. She talked through colours and shapes with me to ensure we got the right look for my face. I love my new brows and now can’t imagine what it would be like without them! Thank you so much Sara! X
Sara is a really lovely lady that puts you at ease telling you step by step what is happening I’m so happy with my new eyebrows they look fab Thankyou Sara
I had my eyebrows done today by the lovely Sara! I can’t believe how they have come out, I would 100% recommend to anyone considering getting them done. The service was fantastic!
Sara is absolutely amazing! She is a true professional and works utter magic. My eyebrows were so fair and sparse that it looked as though I didn’t have any. I was fed up with pencilling them on daily, and so decided to have them tattooed on but I was incredibly nervous about having them done in case they went wrong or the result didn’t suit me. Sara, however, put me at ease instantly, and I knew I was in good hands. The results were amazing and 2 years on, I’m still thrilled with how they look. I highly recommend her, her work is amazing!
I had my eyebrows redone today for the first time by Sara and I can honestly say this lady is absolutely AMAZING! There was no pain in fact I felt so relaxed I could have gone to sleep/heaven because I was shocked my brows were done and looking stunning. Thank you so much Sara you are a star at what you do and so lovely too. I think by the dance I did afterwards you can tell I’m over the moon happy ���
Im not on Facebook, however I really felt I needed to review this lady coz she’s so good at what she does…..so I’ve borrowed my mums page to rate her! I was concerned about getting my eyebrows tattooed for so long as I just felt it’s on your face & if I didn’t like it then it’s too l8! However after meeting with Sarah initially she instantly put me at ease & the reason for that is her confidence & knowledge. Sarah drew them in first & measured them out precisely, just from that I knew I’d like them once completed. I’m also a bit of a wimp when it comes to needles, however I can honestly say when Sarah first started it just felt like she was drawing them on! I couldn’t believe how painfree it was (due to the anaesthetic), the anaesthetic obviously wears off during the process & when it starts to get a little uncomfortable Sarah reapplied the anaesthetic & started again. On completion I felt as though my face was transformed (for the better!), they look brilliant. The reason I wanted them done is I needed a little reconstructive work due to uneven eyebrows, I opted for combination brow. Great value, great end result, Sarah is lovely & I couldn’t recommend her more!!!! I’ve had so many compliments. Thanks Sarah I’m so happy
After been treated for my birthday to have my eyebrows done, just had them done! Truly amazing! Now look 5 star! Lovely lady and top quality service! Look forward to coming back in a month for my touch up� Thankyou!
A great stylist. Always remembers just how you like it done X
Sara is an amazing stylist! She’s professional and wants the best results for you. She works quickly but never compromises on the quality. I thoroughly recommend her and I will never use anyone else!
