PRE APPOINTMENT CARE
MICROBLADING:
In order for your new brows to heal properly (and look their best) these Pre Care Instructions found below are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE!
Pre-Care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the service. Excessing bleeding during the procedure can dilute the pigment color and lead to poor results.
- Do not work out for 24 hours prior to your procedure.
- Alcohol/caffeine avoid for 48 hours before procedure.
- Sun and tanning avoid for 1 week prior to procedure.
- Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen, Fish Oil, Prenatal Vitamins, Nutritional Shakes (Shakeology, etc), “Hair, Skin, Nail” supplements 48 hours prior to procedure.
- Retin-A discontinue at least 4 weeks prior go appointment.
- Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area 2 weeks prior to service.
- Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area should be avoided 1 month prior to procedure.
- Brow waxing, tinting, or threading should be avoided 1 week prior (the more natural hair growth you have, the better!)
- Avoid Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion or facials for 4 weeks prior procedure.
PERMANENT MAKEUP IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANY CLIENTS WHO ARE OR HAVE:
- Pregnant or Nursing
- Diabetic
- Viral infections and/or diseases
- Epilepsy
- A Pacemaker or major heart problems
- Had an Organ transplant
- Tendency towards keloids
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.)
- Sick (cold, flu, etc.)
- Had Botox in the past 2 months
- Have upcoming vacations or special occasions planned within 2 weeks from procedure appointment.
- Used Accutane in the past year
- Allergic to anesthetic (Lidocaine)
TATTOOS:
- Stay hydrated: Drink lots of water or fluids 24 hours before your appointment so your skin is hydrated and absorbs ink better.
- EAT FOOD!!!!!! This will reduce the chances of lightheadedness or passing out during your tattoo - even if you think it wont happen to you, it could if your body isn't prepared.
- Moisturize: Regularly moisturize your skin to keep it hydrated. Dry skin is more likely to crack and bleed during your tattoo.
- Avoid blood thinners: Don't consume drugs or alcohol, aspirin, or other blood thinners 24 hours before your appointment. These can increase bleeding, interfere with healing, and potentially affect the outcome of your tattoo.
- Avoid sunburn: Don't get sunburned or peel before your appointment, as artists won't be able to tattoo you if you do.
- Get enough sleep: Try to get a good night's rest the night before your appointment.
- Wear comfortable convenient clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment that makes sense for the area being worked on. I do not supply pasties, must bring your own!
- Avoid strenuous exercise: Avoid activities that will make you sore, as this can make the tattooing process more painful.
See you soon!
