HOW TO PREPARE FOR MY PERMANENT MAKEUP APPOINTMENT
​
​​
It all starts with a good canvas! The potential treatment area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated.
Here’s how to get your skin ready for your brow procedure:
-
Do not thread/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure
-
Do not drink alcohol 48 hours prior to your appointment
-
Do not drink coffee 24 hours prior to your appointment
-
Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face
-
Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure
-
Do not work out the day of the procedure
-
Wash your hair the morning of your appointment, healing tattoos cannot get wet for the first 72 hours, so you will need to avoid washing your hair too soon
-
Do not have botox or filler 3 weeks prior to the procedure. Please inform us of any current injections.
-
Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)
-
Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.
Here’s how to get ready for your lip blushing procedure:
-
Lips must not be dry for the procedure! Keep them fully moisturized with a lip ointment like Aquaphor or Vaseline starting from a week prior to the procedure.
-
Exfoliate the lips 1-2 days before the procedure using a soft toothbrush or DIY sugar/honey scrub
-
Cold sore sufferers - see important note below
-
If you have a history of cold sores:
-
Ideally, you are advised to see your doctor for anti-viral medication which you should start 2-3 days prior to the procedure
-
If available, topical Zovirax can be applied preventatively during the first week of healing
-
Otherwise, it is recommended to take L-lysine 1-2 weeks before and after the appointment to reduce the risk
-
However, cold sores are a risk of lip blush treatment regardless of whether you have had them in the past. It is therefore recommended for ALL clients to take L-lysine, and if you experience an unusual tingly sensation in the lips or notice any bumps appear - see your doctor immediately as you may be experiencing an episode of cold sores. Prompt treatment is crucial in minimizing the extent of a cold sore outbreak.
