Preparation (Pre-Care)

Permanent Eyebrow Procedure

In order for any permanent makeup procedure to heal properly (and look their best) these Pre & Post Care Instructions found below are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!   Pre-Care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the service. Excessing bleeding during the procedure will dilute the pigment color and lead to poor results! 

​

FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE POLICIES & PREPARATION INFORMATION WITHIN WILL RESULT IN A CANCELLATION OF YOUR APPOINTMENT AND FORFEITURE OF YOUR DEPOSIT.

If you are receiving the COVID vaccine, you must book either 4 weeks BEFORE your first shot (if getting 2) or 4 weeks AFTER your second shot. This 4 week window before or after your vaccine is important, as we've seen reports that taking the vaccine close to a permanent cosmetic procedure may lead to excess swelling in the area.

PRE-CARE FOR LIP BLUSH

As a necessary precaution, we require ALL of our Lip clients to take an anti-viral medication for one week (5 days) prior to your appointment and two days post procedure.  Examples of antiviral medications: Zovirax, Famvir or Valtrex. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule. 

​

• Begin your Anti-Viral medication 5 days prior to procedure.

• Exfoliate your lips everyday with a lip scrub prior to treatment date, and apply a lip moisturizer nightly. (We recommend to apply organic honey) If lips are too dry the needle will not penetrate correctly - which may result in multiple sessions.

• NO alcohol, caffeine or stimulants 48 hours before procedure (Yes, there is caffeine in decaf coffee and tea!).

• Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to procedure.
