​PREPARING THE SKIN:

​

Preparing your skin for permanent makeup involves a few key steps to ensure the best results and minimize complications:

​

1. Consultation: schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and understand the procedure.

 

2. Avoid sun exposure: reduce sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks before your appointment to minimize skin sensitivity. 

​

3. Do not exfoliate: refrain from using exfoliating products or undergoing chemical peels in the area that the service will be done on for at least one week prior. 

​

4. Hydrate and moisturize: keep your skin well-hydrated and moisturized leading up to the procedure to ensure it is in good condition. 

​

5. Avoid blood thinners: steer clear of blood thinners, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements (like fish oil) for a week before the procedure as they can increase bleeding.

​

6. Avoid alcohol and caffeine: avoid these for 24 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding and sensitivity. 

​

7. Consult medical history: Inform your technician of any medical conditions, medications, or allergies. 

​

8. Consent form: be sure to read over and fill out your consent form prior to your appointment.

 

AFTERCARE​:​

​

Aftercare for permanent makeup is essential for ensuring optimal healing and achieving the best results. Here is a detailed guideline to ensure the best results possible:

​

1. Keep them clean.

​

2. Avoid water exposure: for the first week, keep your brows and eyes dry. Avoid swimming, saunas, and excessive sweating. 

​

3. Apply healing ointment (applicable for lip blush only).

​

4. Avoid makeup and skincare products: do not apply any makeup or skincare products on the treated area until fully healed. This includes concealers, eyebrow pencils, and creams. 

​

5. No scratching or picking: avoid touching, scratching or picking at the area. Let any scabs or flakes fall off naturally to avoid disrupting the healing process. 

​

6. Avoid sun exposure: Keep your area out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds. Once healed, use sunscreen to protect area from UV damage. 

​

7. Sleep position: try to sleep on your back to avoid contact with the treated area. Using a clean pillowcase can also help.
