Pre-Care

​

  • Fillers should be done 6 weeks prior to your scheduled procedure or done 6 weeks after the procedure.

  • Any Botox services should be done at least 2 weeks prior to your scheduled procedure or 2 weeks after your procedure.

  • Permanent makeup cannot be performed if you are pregnant, nursing, or on blood thinners.

  • Absolutely no sun, sweating, or tanning prior to the procedure or after the procedure for 10 days. Do not have a tan/sunburn on your face prior to your procedure. The tan will exfoliate taking color with it as it fades.

  • You must be off Retin-A or Retinols for 7 days prior to your appointment.

  • Do not work out the day of the procedure.  It is recommended not to sweat (heavily) for the first 10 days after the procedure. Sweat is salt and can prematurely fade the treated area.

  • Avoid alcohol or caffeine 48 hours prior to the procedure. This will help minimize any swelling after the procedure.

  • Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary, 10 days prior to your procedure. Tylenol is acceptable.

  • Avoid power shakes and power greens, Fish Oil, and “Hair, Skin, Nail” supplements 24 hours prior to procedure.

  • Discontinue Glycolics, Chemical Peels and Retin-A 4 weeks prior to procedure.

  • Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after your procedure. Check your moisturizer, facewash BB or CC creams and makeup primers for anything that says acid.

  • No brow waxing or tinting one week before procedure

  • You have to be off any kind of Accutane for 1 year. No Exceptions!

  • For Eyeliner - No eyelash extensions (Must be removed min of 3-5 days prior to procedure)

  • No Latisse-Lash growing serum (Discontinue for min of 3 weeks)

  • Due to the nature of the service no children are allowed.

​

Post Care

​

  • Avoid direct shower water on the treated area after the procedure. Apply Aquaphor prior to showering to prevent soaps and shampoos from getting on the treated area. Absolutely nothing on the treated area...no water, no makeup, lotions, pencil… for 10 days.  After 10 days, use a gentle cleanser to clean them. Avoid scrubbing the treated area for 1 month.

  • Avoid sleeping on your face during the 10 days after the procedure.

  • Do not use Retin-A on or around the area for 30 days after the procedure. If used before 30 days, it can cause the pigments to prematurely fade. If  you resume Retin-A or Retinols after 30 days, please know that continued use will prematurely fade your permanent makeup.

  • No swimming until the area is completely healed. Salt water/chlorine can cause the pigments to fade or change in color. It is recommended to apply Vaseline to the treated area(s) prior to swimming, even after healed, to prevent the chlorine water/salt water from penetrating  the area.

  • Apply Aquaphor with a Q-tip. This is a must; we do not want an infection.

  • Do not touch, rub, scratch, or pick at the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring.
