PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT AND CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR PERMANENT MAKEUP
*Arrive for your appointment as you usually wear your makeup on a daily basis. We like to see your style and what you are used to seeing in the mirror everyday.
*You cannot get permanent makeup done if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
* If you are under doctor’s care for any medical conditions or have uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders, you must discuss with your physician prior and obtain written consent to have the procedure done.
*Clients must be off Accutane or any prescribed acne medications for a minimum for 1 year. No exceptions to this rule!
*Clients must not use any brow hair growth serums or products for a minimum of 45 days prior and at least one month after the procedure is done.
*Clients must not take Aspirin, Fish Oil, Niacin, Vitamin E, Ibuprofen or any blood thinners for 48 hours prior to appointment. Tylenol is fine.
*No alcohol or energizing drinks 24 hours prior to procedure in order to minimize bleeding during the procedure.
*No caffeine the day of the procedure.
*Any brow tinting should be done 2 weeks prior and 1 month after procedure
*Skin should not be in a compromised state before the procedure. No tanning or over exposure to the sun at least 2-3 weeks prior to procedure.
*Eyebrow waxing or threading should be done at least 2 weeks prior to the procedure and then wait for a minimum of two weeks after.
* Clients must not have had any chemical peels, micro dermabrasion, mesotherapy, or any other intense treatments 3-4 weeks prior to procedure.
* It is a good idea for the client to wash their hair on the day of the procedure in order to limit time in shower and to help keep the brows dry during the healing period.
* Botox should be done 2 weeks prior (or better yet 2 weeks after) so that the botox has time to settle
*Allergies to Lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine or epinephrine. Procedure can still be performed but would obviously experience more discomfort.
*Must discontinue using retinoids or retinol a minimum of 12 weeks before getting brows done
