Pre-Care
Before your appointment make sure:
On the day of procedure:
-
You’re not feeling sick.
-
Don’t wear contact lenses
1-2 days
prior don’t:
-
Drink caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, energy drinks, soda, or other stimulant. Caffeine interferes with numbing process and excessive bleeding and a poor color deposit are likely to occur.
-
Drink alcohol. Alcohol produces excessive bleeding and poor color deposit.
-
Take anti-inflammatory blood thinners: ibuprofen, aspirin, aleve, NSAID. Excessive bleeding and a poor color deposit are side effects of these medications.

Two weeks prior Don’t:
-
Pick, tweeze, wax, perform electrolysis one week before procedure.
-
Take vitamin E, Fish oil, supplements (unless medically necessary)
-
Expose your face to direct sunlight. Tans and sun burns affect the skin color and what pigment we choose to match it. If you come to your appointment freshly tanned or burnt your deposit will be forfeited and you will have to reschedule with a new deposit.
Don’t do/use the following 3 weeks – one month prior:
-
Brow lamination
-
Detox (herbal/teas)

Facials, chemicals peels, laser or microdermabrasion
