Pre-Appointment/Aftercare

Permanent Makeup Pre-Appointment,  Healing Process, & Aftercare

Your healed results vary depending on how you prep prior to your appointment and how you care for them after the appointment.

​

Who IS NOT a candidate for permanent makeup tattooing?​

I am unable to proceed forward with an appointment if you are/have any of the following:

​

 

  • Pregnant or breast feeding/nursing. (Please wait at least 2 months or until after done breast feeding before booking an appointment.)

  • HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis/Jaundice or Epilepsy.

  • Under 18 years old.

  • Had botox done recently. (Please wait at least a month before booking an appointment.)

  • Had fillers done recently. (Please wait at least a month before booking an appointment.)

  • Drank alcohol/taken blood thinners before your appointment. (Please wait a 48 hours to a week before booking an appointment.)

  • Taking Accutane. (Please wait one year before booking an appointment.)

  • Going through chemotheraphy. (Please talk to your doctor before seeing me. A proof of a doctor's note will be required to move forward with an appointment.)

  • Eczema on the area of procedure.

  • Severe allergic reactions. Please disclose prior to booking your appointment as you may be allergic to some ingredients that can be in the ink pigments or numbing agents used.

  • Diabetic (Please talk to your doctor before booking an appointment.)

  • Went suntanning/tanning bed recently. (Please do it a month before and after your appointment.)

​

Prior to your appointment, the following is recommended for best results:

  • Avoid alcohol 2-7 days before your appointment.

​

  • Do not take any blood thinners 2-7 days before your appointment. (Read more in FAQs.)

​

  • Avoid botox/fillers a month before your appointment.

​

  • Avoid suntanning/tanning beds a month before your appointment. (Read more in FAQs.)

​

  • Avoid using retinol, chemical peels, exfoliation products 3-4 weeks before your appointment.

​

  • Avoid laser treatments 3-4 weeks before your appointment.

​

  • If you wax your eyebrows, do it 2 days before your appointment.

​

  • If you tint your eyebrows, do it a week before your appointment.

​

What to expect after your appointment:

  • After your appointment you may experience some redness, itchiness, flaking, and scabbing.

​

  • Let the scabs and flakes fall off on their own to avoid the loss of pigmentation.

​

  • Any redness or swelling will subside within 24-72 hours.

​

  • Your eyebrows will oxide and appear darker. Do not worry, after the pigment/scabbing falls off, you will see the true color come through.

​

Avoid the following after your appointment:

  • Avoid getting the tattooed area wet up to 72 hours. (3 Days.)

​

  • Avoid any activity that will cause you to sweat for 2 weeks. (Working out, tanning, sauna, hot tub, swimming, etc.) - Read more in FAQs.

​

  • Avoid wearing makeup on and around the tattooed area until they are fully healed. 

​

  • Avoid picking at the scabs. (Pigment will be lost and you may get patchy results.)

​

  • Avoid the sun as it can cause quicker fading of your semi-permanent tattoo.

​

  • Avoid massages or any activity that you have to lay face down until all the scabbing and flaking are gone.

​

  • Avoid laser treatments as they might distort the ink color.

​

  • Avoid using any exfoliation and retinol around the eyebrow area. (Even after healed, it can cause your eyebrows to fade quicker.)

​

Taking care of your eyebrows after your procedure:

  • Keep eyebrow area dry for 3 days and clean for 2 weeks. (Use the solution in the send home package that I provide to you after your appointment to clean the area, then add a thin layer of the hydration cream provided. Re-apply if needed but try not to over hydrate.)

​

  • Gently clean eyebrows with solution provided until it's all gone and be gentle as possible until the scabbing is gone. (Twice a day.) Then re-apply the cream provided. (Use the size of a rice grain on a q-tip or with clean fingers.) Do this until the scabbing is all gone.

​

  • After 2 weeks you may resume your normal activities.

​

  • Wear sunscreen on eyebrows after all of scabbing is gone to help protect your new eyebrows.

​

  • I recommend coming back in once a year to maintain your eyebrows. Everyone's eyebrow tattoo fades differently depending on your skin type and aftercare. If you are unsure, you can always reach out to ask and or send me photos.
