PRE CARE

LET’S START WITH A CLEAN SLATE.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?

Permanent makeup normally requires multiple sessions.
To achieve the best results, you will need to come back for a touch up between 6-12 weeks after the initial appointment.

Be prepared for the color to be significantly sharper/bolder immediately after the procedure. This will subside & soften as the skin heals. This process can take 2 weeks or more.

1 month before:

• Discontinue Retin-A at least 1 month prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure). 

• Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area 1 month prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure).

• Avoid Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion or facials for 1 month prior to procedure.

2 weeks before:

• Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 weeks prior to procedure. It takes at least 14 days to settle in the skin.

1 MONTH BEFORE:

• Discontinue Retin-A at least 1 month prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure).

• Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area 1 month prior (and avoid on eyebrow area after procedure).

• Avoid Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion or facials for 1 month prior to procedure.

2 WEEKS BEFORE:

• Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 2 weeks prior to procedure. It takes at least 14 days to settle in the skin.

• No brow waxing, tinting, or threading two weeks prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better! It is best for me to see how your brows grow naturally. I will clean them up for you at your appointment.)

1 WEEK BEFORE:

• Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to procedure.

24 HOURS BEFORE:

• NO alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before procedure!

• Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen, or any other blood thinner for 24 hours before procedure. Tylenol is ok.

• Avoid Fish Oil, Prenatal Vitamins, Nutritional Shakes (Shakeology, etc), “Hair, Skin, Nail” supplements 24 hours prior to procedure.

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT:

• Wash your hair! You will need to avoid getting your brows wet (aside from washing them) for the next 7-10 days, so wash your hair the day of your appointment to give you a few extra days before you need to do it again!

• Makeup: Come to your appointment with or without makeup on - whatever you are most comfortable with. We will be taking before/after photos. If you normally wear brow makeup, it is helpful for me to see how you usually fill them in.

• RELAX! It’s normal to be nervous. Together, we are going to create the perfect brows for you! Take a deep breath and get EXCITED!

Reminders: You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle. Anyone with any of the following at the time of the appointment cannot be accepted: Younger than 18 years of age, pregnant/nursing, used Accutane within 1 year, freshly tanned/sunburned face, chemo or radiation within 6 months, viral infections (cold/flu/etc.) or on antibiotics the day of appointment
