Brow Lamination

Reactions can occur during ANY beauty treatment, hence the purpose of performing the patch test, plus it helps myself as technicians to gauge if a client experiences sensitivity to the products we will be applying to the skin.

A positive reaction to a patch test might be a warming sensation, tingling, heated skin, redness, irritation, swelling, blistering or burning.

Reactions may not be present immediately and therefore we are required to perform a patch test 48hrs prior to the treatment.

If during the Secret Runway Brow application, you experience any sensations that are uncomfortable, immediately let your technician know so that products may be removed.

If, after the application, a reaction begins to present; you should apply cold compress to the area. All reactions should be handled and managed by a medical professional but ensure you make your technician aware so that they may record the details of your reactions and update your records accordingly

NO TREATMENT WILL BE CARRIED OUT WITHOUT A PATCH TEST

The Secret Runway Brow treatment cannot be performed on clients who:

• Have a positive reaction to a patch test for any of the steps for brow lamination
• Inflammation of the eyelid or around the brow/eye area
• Chemotherapy (current cancer treatments)
• Skin disease, skin trauma, cuts, abrasions, burns, or swelling to immediate area
• Sunburn
• Skin disorders in the general eye brow area such as dermatitis
• Eye infections such as conjunctivitis

• Botox and dermal fillers (minimum 2 weeks)

• Dermaplanig & peels (minimum 1-2 weeks)

The following list of contraindications will require a GP referral before treatment can be carried out

• Post chemotherapy
• Previous brow or skin conditions
• Any other medical conditions you are aware of which could be a contraindication

Potential concerns for longevity of the result:

• Very dry skin

• Very oily skin

• Not performing aftercare

• Skin treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels or use of cosmetics that contain ingredients that exfoliate the skin

For the first 48 hours, you should treat your brows with care and avoid steam baths, too much steam in shower or steam rooms and saunas.  After this time period you can treat your brows as normal.

You will need to brush your brows into position each morning and the best part about this is they will stay put this way for the rest of the day.

I would advise applying a little castor oil each evening before bed very lightly to condition your brows and avoid them drying out – lightly brush through.

When in the shower a small amount of hair conditioner applied to your brows will also help to condition the hair and keep them fluffy.

• DO NOT WET your brows for at least 48 hours
• DO NOT use strong make up removers on the brows during of the lift, also avoid any oil based products on the brow area
• Brush your brows into place each morning using a brow spoolie, either brush up or to side
• Avoid heat treatments/facials that involve steam and water for 48 hours
• Avoid sunbathing or sun exposure fro 24 hours
• Avoid swimming/saunas/steam rooms for at least 48 hours
• If any irritation occurs, apply clean cold wet pad to the eyebrow area and contact a doctor immediately
