Pre-Treatment Advice for Permanent Makeup

To ensure the best results from your permanent makeup treatment, please follow the pre-treatment advice below:

1. General Pre-Treatment Guidelines

• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bleeding and swelling.

• Do not take fish oil, vitamin E, or any other natural blood thinners for at least one week prior to treatment.

• If you have a cold, flu, or any skin condition near the treatment area, please reschedule your appointment.

• Ensure you are hydrated and have eaten a light meal before your appointment to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

2. Skin Preparation

• Do not apply skincare products containing Retinol, Retin-A, AHA, BHA, or any exfoliating acids one week before treatment.

• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanning products on the treatment area for at least two weeks before your appointment.

• Ensure the treatment area is free from makeup, creams, or oils on the day of your appointment.

• If you are prone to cold sores and are having lip blush treatment, take an anti-viral medication (such as Aciclovir) a few days prior to minimize the risk of an outbreak.

3. Eyebrow Treatment Specifics

• Avoid any brow waxing, threading, or tinting for at least one week prior to treatment.

• Do not use any hair removal creams or bleach on the treatment area before your appointment.

4. Eyeliner Treatment Specifics

• Contact lens wearers should remove lenses before the appointment and avoid wearing them for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

• Discontinue the use of lash serums (such as RevitaLash) at least four weeks prior to prevent increased skin sensitivity.

• Do not wear mascara or eye makeup on the day of your appointment.

5. Lip Blush Treatment Specifics

• Exfoliate lips gently with a lip scrub and keep them moisturized with lip balm for a few days before treatment.

• Drink plenty of water to keep lips hydrated and prevent dryness.

• If prone to cold sores, take preventative anti-viral medication as advised by your doctor.

6. Medical Considerations

• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any underlying medical conditions, consult with your doctor before booking a treatment.

• Notify your technician of any allergies, previous reactions to pigments, or other medical concerns before your appointment.
