Pre-Procedure Instructions
For Permanent Eyeliner:
Do not wear mascara the day of your appointment.
Please remove contact lenses and wear glasses the day of and one day after your procedure.
Stop use of lash growth serums one month before your appointment.
It is advised to not schedule eyeliner procedures during pms/ period weeks. You can be more sensitive during these weeks.

Have your doctor prescribe you Valtrex or similar antiviral (14 days worth) to take 3 days before, the day of and 3 days after your procedure. It will be enough to last for two procedures. This will keep lips from getting cold sores which can push the pigment out.

Post-Procedure Instructions
For All Treatments:
Rinse your eyebrows (lips/eyeliner) with cool water and gentle cleanser (Cetaphil) when you get home.
Pat dry gently with soft cloth, then apply a thin coat of skin protectant only if needed (provided at your appointment) no more than half a grain of rice per brow.
DO NOT SCRUB!
Within 24-48 hours after the procedure, continue to gently wash brows morning and night with Cetaphil cleanser, apply a thin coat of skin protectant only if needed.
Within 3-7 days of the procedure, continue to gently cleanse and use after care cream if needed.
During this time eyebrows will peel and/or itch. It is important to avoid scratching and continue to apply skin protectant as you feel needed. DO NOT PICK THE SKIN!
Within 7-14 days, continue to apply skin protectant as needed.
For brows do not wear a hat on top of the brows to hide the peeling. This could rub the flakes off and result in loss of pigment.
For eyeliner a clean cold ice pack can be used to reduce swelling.
For lips no kissing or any activities where lips will come into contact with another person until peeling is finished.
For lips you can drink through a straw. Avoid very hot and super spicey foods.
Important Reminders:
NO sweating. NO exercise for 10 days.
Sweating of any type will release sodium, which can prematurely fade the color of your eyebrows.
NO sauna or prolonged hot showers/ baths.
NO soaking or swimming in a pool or hot tub. NO swimming in the ocean or salt water pools. NO swimming in lakes or natural water bodies.
Remember you have small wounds.
NO sun tanning or salon tanning.
NO laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic Acid on the face near your brows for 30 days.
NO picking, peeling or scratching of the area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment.
NO performing tasks related to heavy household/work related cleaning, which will expose you to a lot of airborne debris or dust.
NO makeup applied directly to area treated area. Our makeup and makeup brushes can contain bacteria.
***Please remember that this procedure is to enhance your natural brows. It does not take the place of makeup. Small touch up with an eyebrow pencil may still be necessary.***
