For optimal results,  every permanent makeup procedure requires proper preparation and In order to have any procedures done, you must NOT : 

  • Be pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Have any active dermatological disorder such as rosacea, eczema, Acne, psoriasis or active herpes anywhere on the face.

  • Do not work out the day of your procedure ( body heat will enlarge your pores)

  • Have your skin visibly tanned, burned or flaking skin around your eyebrows.

  • Consume anything with caffeine (coffee, sodas, energy drinks, migraine pills) or have any blood thinners like alcohol or aspirin  24 hours before your appointment.

  • Do not take fish oil or vitamin E 1 week prior (natural blood thinners) (Tylenol or acetaminophen is ok )

  • Shouldn’t you have received botox three weeks prior.

  • Waxing around the area is also not recommended three days before the appointment.

  • I also recommend that you wash your hair the day of your appointment or the night before, due to the fact that you have to avoid water on the area to be tattooed (except for areola restoration tattoo) for the following 5-7 days as part of your healing process.

  • Please make sure you follow this instructions, it is extremely important to achieve desired results

WHAT TO AVOID AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE ?

  • Avoid makeup near the area, RETIN-A & GLYCOLIC acids on pigmented areas while healing.

  • Avoid touching with fingers, sunscreens, direct sun, tanning beds (this can cause discoloration and premature fading) & self-tanners on pigmented areas. Once healed, use a good sunscreen daily. 

  • Avoid swimming pools, oceans, hot tubs, saunas and hot steamy showers. Shower with back  to shower head to avoid water, shampoo /conditioner getting into pigmented area.

  • Avoid dirt (as in gardening), extreme perspiration (the gym) for the first week to prevent  possible infection. 

  • Don’t be alarmed if pigment looks like is coming off with scabs while healing.

  • Don’t be alarmed by fading after first application. Final color can’t be judged until 3 weeks  post procedure.  

  • Never use topical antibiotics unless given to you at time of your procedure, with specific  instructions. 

  • If planning a chemical peel, MRI or other medical procedure, please notify technician you  have iron-oxide cosmetic tattoo. 

  • If planning to have laser hair removal or a Photo Facial using IPL, notify laser  specialist of cosmetic tattoo so this area may be avoided by the laser. Both ablative and non ablative lasers may cause pigment to turn black. 

  • Additionally, 24 - 48 hours prior to your tattoo do not consume alcohol or caffeine as they thin the blood and reduce color saturation post-procedure.

  • To donate blood, it’s a Red Cross policy to wait one year.
