  • Bring eye glasses with you if you wear contacts.

  • Purchase new mascara to use after your eyeliner procedure to avoid any infections.
  • Lubricating eye drops (If dry eye occurs use for 3 days after procedure, if necessary)

LIPS:

  • No lip injections/fillers in the past 6 weeks
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Bring your favorite lipstick and or lip liner with you (for color reference)
  • If you are prone to cold sores/fever blisters you must get an antiviral prescription from your primary care physician. You must start taking this 2 days before the procedure. Please bring proof of your prescription the day of procedure. No exceptions.
  • Please ensure your lips are well-moisturized and not excessively dry (peeling) before your appointment. If you are experiencing these issues, please contact us to reschedule your appointment.

Healing varies based on the individual and the area treated. Following the aftercare instructions provided to you on the day of your appointment is essential for optimal healing.

During the first 10 days of healing after getting permanent makeup, it’s important to avoid the following:

  • Touching the Area: Avoid touching the treated area with your hands to prevent infection.
  • Picking or Scratching: Do not pick, scratch, or rub the scabs or flakes
  • Water Exposure: Keep the area dry; avoid swimming, hot tubs, saunas, and long showers.
  • Sweating: Minimize activities that cause heavy sweating, such as intense workouts, as sweat can interfere with healing.
  • Makeup: Avoid applying makeup on or near the treated area to prevent contamination and irritation.
  • Skincare Products: Refrain from using creams, lotions, exfoliants, or other skincare products on the treated area unless recommended by your artist.
  • Sun Exposure: Protect the area from direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds, as UV rays can cause fading and irritation.
  • Sleeping on the Face: Try not to sleep on your face to prevent rubbing and pressure on the treated area.
  • Alcohol and Caffeine: Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption, as they can thin the blood and delay the healing process.
  • Facial Treatments: Avoid facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, and other cosmetic procedures that could affect the treated area.

The duration varies depending on the area being treated and the complexity of the design. Typically, a session can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.

Permanent makeup is a wonderful way to enhance your natural beauty, and it’s designed to last for a good while. Typically, it can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, and often even longer, depending on factors such as your skin type, aftercare routine, and lifestyle habits.

Individuals with oily skin may find that the pigments fade faster. Similarly, those who engage in activities that cause excessive sweating, such as hot yoga, swimming, or sun exposure, may also notice quicker fading. On the other hand, individuals with normal to dry skin may find that the pigments last longer. Additionally, people who take good care of their skin by avoiding exfoliants and acids around the brow area that may cause fading, may also find that the results last longer.

Yes, touch-ups are often necessary for permanent makeup. The initial application may not achieve the desired color intensity, so a touch-up helps fine-tune the pigment. Some areas may fade more quickly than others, and a touch-up ensures even color distribution. Adjustments may also be needed to perfect the shape and symmetry. Additionally, touch-ups help maintain the appearance over time, as all permanent makeup gradually fades. We recommend a touch-up within 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure, with maintenance touch-ups every 1-2 years depending on the individual’s skin type and lifestyle. We suggest waiting as long as possible between appointments to maintain the integrity and health of the skin.

Client Testimonials
Michelle R.
Update:
It's been a few years and my brows have held up really well! I got them touched up a while back, and also got my lips shaded. Getting my brows and lips shaded in has made a huge difference, and I'm not even a big makeup person. It is so nice to wakeup, throw on clothes and be able to walk out of the house looking polished without any effort. I get compliments on my brows all the time, even from other artist who microblade.

I've also sent probably 5 people to Kashia and everyone has been thrilled with the results. I'll never go anywhere else!

Original: Kashia did an incredible job on my brows! I wear very little makeup, but have thin brows and was tired of having to fill them in for Zoom meetings at work. My brows look totally natural, but fuller and she did a great job of keeping my natural shape (which is pretty arched) while cleaning it up just a bit.

I followed her instructions for after care and had no scabbing, no peeling and they took perfectly. I just had my touch up and I'm thrilled. She also did a great job on my mom, who had almost no eyebrows. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I'll definitely be back soon to get my lips shaded.
Jenna R.
I cannot recommend Kashia enough! She used a combination of techniques to create my perfect brows, and the results are even better than I ever could have imagined. Not only is she incredibly skilled and detail-oriented, but she also made the entire process so comfortable and easy. My brows look so natural and perfectly suited to my face shape. If you’re considering permanent brows, she’s the best!
Shaun H.
Highly recommend for your BROtox and facial needs!! I am prone to milia and their esthetician is always able to get rid of them easily and painlessly.
Melissa R.
Kashia is an amazing and impeccable makeup artist. She used all of her capability and experience to make my sad, thin and merely nonexistent eyebrows, look like I stepped out of magazine. She has boosted my confidence by 1000%. Kashia is extremely detail oriented to her work so that every client leaves feeling more confident them when they arrived.

Great experience, it was quick and the pain level was low. I was nervous but the process was easy and I’m excited to see the final results of my laser eye liner removal
Aryam A.
My favorite MedSpa ever! Kashia is incredibly talented. I have been making two hour drives for two years now just to get service from her. The space is so comfortable and there’s plenty of parking.
Julianna A.
After doing a deep dive in reviews and seeing the stellar reviews posted, I went to Kashia at DermaLuxe Spa for permanent eyebrows. A picture is worth a thousand words, and my pics speak for themselves (before and after).

I have friends that have literally said to me, "My friend got their eyebrows done and they look good - yours look AMAZING!"

If you are considering permanent brows, or any other service that is offered at this spa, don't hesitate - go do it!

Kashia is absolutely amazing and an exceptional expert at what she does. I am sure I'll be going in for other services soon.
Jay
Very happy with my results from the Li-FT removal. She took into account my skin type/sensitivity and recommended a product that was safe and effective.
B “Beeacupcake” M.
Dermaluxe Spa is amazing!! If you want great service and amazing results go to Dermaluxe Spa!!! Kashia is amazing! I just finished my "perfection" appointment today and could not be happier! I am looking forward to trying Botox next!
Keo L
If you're thinking about lip blushing in Houston, Kashia is truly the best! My results were stunning and the experience was smooth and completely painless. I had very minimal swelling and peeling (the aftercare balm worked wonders). The color came out beautifully: vibrant on the first day, then settled into a perfect natural shade. I highly recommend her!
Lelle A.
Dermaluxe has been a remarkable find since I moved here a few years back. Originally from the Northeast where I had my microblading done, I was worried about finding someone with the same level of expertise. Thankfully, I discovered Kashia in 2022, an artist who not only met but exceeded all my expectations. Her talent shines through in her ability to make my eyebrows perfect EVERY TIME , from selecting the ideal color to flawlessly framing them to complement my face shape.

Kashia is truly a gem—honest, kind, patient, and exceptionally professional. Her establishment is impeccably clean, adding to the overall pleasant experience. If you need any kind of permanent makeup done or spa services, I wholeheartedly recommend Dermaluxe. It's the best place for it!
M- R.
I came to Kashia at Dermaluxe Spa after a stressful experience with my brows, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I reached out, Kashia was incredibly responsive and understanding, fitting me in right away for an emergency removal. She walked me through the entire process, made me feel comfortable, and reassured me that I’d see a significant improvement. Her kindness, expertise, and warm personality truly put me at ease. She has a magnetic aura for sure and it’s a GREAT one. The one I definitely needed after crying for 2 days. I’ll definitely be back to see her and her team for future services—she’s a gem.
Lizet T.
Kashia is such a professional, and is truly dedicated at what she does. Her work is not to disappoint. & Thanks to her incredible talent my mornings are cut down to half, and I'm so grateful of her expertise.
So look no further because this is your to go to for your permanent cosmetic and skin care!
Thank you Kashia once again for getting my eyebrows just right.
Gabby T.
Kashia did an amazing job at removing my old and faded 5-year old microblading with 2 laser treatments! She was super knowledgeable about the process and made me feel comfortable and informed about what to expect after treatment. Her facility is super clean and she is always kind and gentle. I’m very pleased with my results and can’t believe that I was able to get my natural brows back. I look much younger and feel much more confident. Highly recommend her!
Danielle H.
Love Dermaluxe and Kashia! Always feel so great after a facial and microderm. And her eyebrow skills are amazing! My skin is SO smooth today after a micro derm and facial with Stacy, the newest esthetician. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to go back next week for my Botox and another facial!
Lauren F.
Kashia is the sweetest! Love her spa!! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stacy the last couple of times and SHE IS INCREDIBLE!! 10/10 recommend. Her facials are so relaxing
Nancy P.
Kashia is brilliant! The spa quiet and serene, and the techniques her & Melissa use make spending my money and time on make-up that’s not good for your skin anyway an archaic thing of the past!
Laura B.
Today I enjoyed a wonderful DermaGlow Microdermabrasion Facial with esthetician, Melissa. I couldn't be happier with the experience and the improvement to the texture and appearance of my face! From the comfortable table to the professionalism and kindness exhibited by Melissa - everything was lovely. She took the time to explain every step she was taking and talked with me about my specific skin situation. I ended up adding a lash dye to my service, but it definitely was not a "hard sell" by Melissa - just an organic conversation. Totally happy with all of today's service and looking forward to my next visit, because I will definitely be back for more!!
Sheila R.
I have been a client at Dermaluxe for 3 years. Kashia is a professional and always honest about expectations and results. She is super thorough and makes sure she gets input on any retouching that needs to happen to make sure I'm completely satisfied with my brow shape and color. Would absolutely recommend!
Cachi's C.
I went in for microblading removal, my eyebrows were 4 years old and very dark. The procedure was really quick to my surprise. She was able to remove the pigment very well!! Yes it does sting but nothing I couldn’t handle. She was very nice and polite 🤗 very happy with my experience. This is my after picture 😁
Angeles C.
I love my combo brows and lips! Kashia is the best! The lips hurt, but are so worth it. I love that I spend far less time on makeup application. I also love how I look even first thing in the morning. The brows look super natural and Kashia helped me pick the perfect color for my lips.
Brewill
Kashia is such a beautiful person. She’s very friendly and professional. She has a wonderful personality! Her work is simply beautiful, hands down!!! I love my brows!!

Thank you Kashia!!
Cyndi L.
Made an appointment with Kashia to get my eyebrows retouched & perfected… after I had microblading done at a different spa 2 yrs ago. So many of my friends recommended Kashia for the various professional services she and her team offer. SO glad I finally did it. I will never go anywhere else! ❤️
Ryan H.
Booked my gf a consult as a gift for Micro blading with Kashia. Upon arrival we were impressed with her office. It was ultra clean and everything felt very comfortable. Kashia explained that micro blading was not best option due to my gf skin type. She recommended another service and explained the difference and pros and cons of each. We were impressed by her knowledge and expertise and booked. Looking forward to the next appt and final product when finished.
Chelsea T.
Came in to remove “microbladed” brows that didn’t fade after 4 years and Kashia made it a comfortable and positive experience. She was able to move my appointment up by nearly an hour so we didn’t have to sit in rush hour. Also, I was her last client and despite revealing it had been a very busy day, Kashia did not rush through any steps of the initial evaluation or procedure.

She has great attention to detail and doesn’t assume clients’ preferences. For example, she asked me what look I wanted to achieve & paused after treating each brow with the laser to ask if I wanted them lighter before she went up on the laser intensity. This alludes to her attentiveness and care. Highly recommend her!
Marissa B.
Kashia was so kind and knowledgeable! I was in need of a fresh start for my brows. She was able to completely remove old Microblading in two sessions. The entire process was quick and easy- definitely recommend her!
Susy T.
I have been going to Kashia for my eyebrows for the past few years and yesterday I went to see her for my annual brow touch up. As usual she took the time to listen to me and made my eyebrows beautiful again! I highly recommend her!
Salina S.
Kashia is absolutely wonderful, she squeezed me in on my first visit while I happen to be next door with my son for tutoring. She has a casual manner, which makes the visit less stressful, especially when going in for tattoo laser removal of the eyebrows.
K W
I am so happy with my microblading! My eyebrows turned out exactly as I wanted. Kashia takes her time and is a perfectionist to ensure you’re comfortable and it’s what you’re looking to achieve. I already had my touch up and love I don’t have to fill my eyebrows in every morning now.
