AVOID
24 hours prior to procedure please avoid caffeine and alcohol.
48-72 hours before refrain from Advil, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, vitamin E, and fish oil to avoid thinning of the blood. You make take Tylenol if needed, this will not thin your blood.
4 weeks before the scheduled service avoid Botox, fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, retinol, and exposure to strong sunlight.
PREPARE
It is best to come in with freshly washed hair and your makeup as you would normally wear it. If you normally do not fill in your brows, that’s great, too, because I map them out regardless. For eyeliner and lash enhancement, please come with no eye makeup or contacts.
DURATION
Your permanent makeup will last from 10 months to 5+ years, depending on your lifestyle and skin type. Sun exposure, exfoliants, retinol, exposure to salt water, and oily skin will make your permanent makeup fade faster. Always wear sunscreen over your permanent makeup!
PAINLESS
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. For lips and eyeliner, I will use a topical numbing before and during the procedure, so the pain very minimal to none. For brows, after the first pass when the topical numbing is applied, most will feel nothing.
TOUCH UP
Yes, it is a two step process. 6 to 8 weeks after in the perfecting appointment, I will touchup any area that didn’t retain pigment and make any necessary changes.
COLOR MATCHING
I match the pigment to your eyebrow hair. This way it blends and looks natural. For lips, bring your favorite lipstick color and I can match it! In the consultation we will discuss any challenges or special requestS you have.
NO HAIR REMOVAL
No, I will keep all the hair that is within your natural shape that I map out, my goal being to keep them as natural as possible!
DRY BROWS
For 7 days after, you will not get your brows wet (besides the first night washing them to remove any lymph). Avoid long hot showers and sweating during the first week, because this can push the pigment out of your skin. Keep showers under 5 minutes and avoid putting your face directly into water. No swimming, hot tubs, saunas, or tanning. Please review full aftercare in aftercare tab.
CONSULTATIONS INCLUDED
No! Each appointment includes an in depth consultation to go over the process from start to finish. I make sure you feel completely confident and comfortable before we begin. Shape and pigment matching is customized to each client. If you have any questions before booking, please feel free to send an email through the contact page.
DETAILS ABOUT EYELINER/LASH ENHANCEMENT APPOINTMENT?
>>
EYELINER/LASH ENHANCEMENT:
Discontinue use of any Lash growth serums 2-4 weeks before your appointment. These can cause sensitivity to your lash line.
Must remove lash extensions before appointment. You can reapply them 2-3 weeks after your touch up.
If you wear contacts do not wear them the day of your appointment.
Come to your appointment with no eye makeup on.
Touchup will be completed 6-8 weeks after initial procedure.
Shape and color will be agreed upon before starting the procedure.
LIP BLUSHING:
Your Lip Blush tattoo will last anywhere from 1-3+ years. Your tattoo will be much lighter and not as bright once healed. The true color will blossom around 4-6 weeks.
The perfecting appointment will be done 8 weeks after initial procedure to make any additions or changes.
If you have a history of cold sores, it is suggested to get prescribed an antiviral medication from your doctor 5 days before and take again 5 days after. (i.e. Valtrex) Please note, if you do not do this and get a cold sore it will affect the healed results.
Must wait 4 weeks before and after to get lip injections.
Dark Lip Neutralization (cool tone lips) is a multiple step process. The first treatment pigment must be warm. Once that heals, 4-6 weeks after you will have a more even nude-pink result. May take 2-3 sessions to get desired results. If you would like to know if you are a candidate for this procedure, please email a picture of your lips in natural light.
