FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR SERVICES
-
How do I know which brow style is right for me?
You don’t have to decide! I’ll assess your facial features, skin type, and preferences to recommend the best style for you. With your input within the consultation and mapping process, together, we will find what suits YOU.
Does cosmetic tattooing hurt?
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but I use high-quality numbing agents to keep you as comfortable as possible. Most clients say it’s more of a discomfort than pain. 90% of clients fall asleep, the other 10% are just chatting!
How long does eyebrow or eyeliner tattooing last?
Brows typically last 1–3 years, and eyeliner can last longer. Lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare all play a role in longevity.
What’s the difference between Nano Feathering and Borderless Ombré brows?
Nano Feathering mimics hair strokes for a natural, fluffy brow, while Borderless Ombré gives a soft, powdery finish with no harsh edges. Almost like a “not quite there brow” and my most favourite technique of all.
What’s the difference between Lash Enhancement and Designer Eyeliner tattooing?
Lash Enhancement is a super fine line in the lash line to add depth without looking like makeup, while Designer Eyeliner includes a bolder line or a wing for a more defined look.
What is the healing process like for cosmetic tattooing?
Expect some mild swelling and flaking. Full healing takes about 4–6 weeks, and a perfecting session is done at 6–8 weeks to refine the results.
-
How does skin needling work?
Tiny micro-channels are created in the skin to trigger your body's natural wound-healing response, encouraging fresh collagen and elastin production. This improves fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and overall skin texture—using your own body's ability to regenerate. Cool, huh?
Does skin needling hurt?
It’s more of a mild discomfort than pain. I don’t use numbing cream because we actually want that controlled inflammation—it’s what signals your skin to rebuild stronger, firmer, and healthier!
How many treatments do I need to see results?
You’ll notice a glow after one session, but for deeper concerns like scarring and ageing, a series of 3–6 treatments is ideal. Your skin continues producing collagen for months after each session.
What’s the downtime for skin needling?
You might have mild redness for 24–48 hours (like a sun-kissed glow), and your skin may feel slightly dry or tight for a few days. The best part? Your skin keeps improving over time as collagen production works its magic.
-
What does LED therapy do for my skin?
It boosts collagen, reduces inflammation, speeds up healing, and helps with acne and redness.
Can I add LED therapy to other treatments?
Yes! It’s the perfect add-on to enhance healing after skin needling, enzyme treatments, or brow tattooing.
-
What’s the difference between regular tint and hybrid dye?
Regular tint lasts 2–4 weeks on hair, while hybrid dye stains the skin for a fuller effect and lasts longer.
Do you map my brows before waxing or tinting?
Absolutely! I use a unique mapping technique to ensure the perfect shape for your face.
How often should I get my brows shaped?
Every 4–6 weeks keeps them looking their best.
-
What is the best facial for sensitive skin?
The Skin Reset or Zen Hen. Both incorporate the enzyme treatment using pineapple and papaya enzymes that are gentle yet effective for even the most delicate skin. But practising Corneotherapy, most to all of my skin treatments are suitable for sensitive AND sensitized skins.
What is Corneotherapy, and why do you follow this approach?
Corneotherapy focuses on strengthening the skin barrier rather than stripping it. This is key for long-term skin health, especially for those transitioning to low-tox skincare.
What’s the best treatment before an event?
The Weekend Glow Up Facial! It includes enzyme exfoliation, LED therapy, and a take-home eye mask for the ultimate glow.

What aftercare do I need to follow for my treatment?
Each treatment has specific aftercare instructions, which I’ll provide before you leave. Following them ensures the best results!
