HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
The following is recommended:
- No Botox or chemical peels within 4 weeks of the procedure - No waxing 3 weeks prior to the procedure
- One week prior to treatment, and until you’re fully healed (8 weeks) clients should refrain from using Retin A products and any strong skin care products on or near the treatment area so to ensure the color lasts.
- 24 hours before the procedure refrain from alcohol and all blood thinners including but not limited to, Ibuprofen Tylenol, Advil.
- 2-3 hours before procedure refrain from caffeine and have something to eat. Keeping blood sugars steady will help you be more comfortable and less sensitive.
AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS - Please follow carefully
It is recommended:
- on the evening after your appointment use a clean, damp piece of paper towel and apply gentle pressure the treatment area for 1 min to expel any built up lymph
- For 24 hours after treatment refrain from working out, tanning, facial treatments, spas and touching or cleaning the treatment area.
- After the 24 hour period your client can begin gently washing the area once a day with a mild cleanser. Do not scrub or use any products with exfoliants, including no sunscreen (in the area) for at least 8 weeks after. Sunscreen is recommended after the 8 weeks.
- Clients must apply antibiotic cream, ie. Polysporin once a day for up to 7 days for brows. (Vaseline or Coconut oil for lip blush clients)
- Throughout the healing process it is important to note that there could be flaking and loss of color, and color changes. This is normal.
- Throughout healing the colour of the treatment area will go through stages that range from dark to light before settling into their intended shade.
