Permanent makeup is a perfect solution for saving time and feeling gorgeous when you wake up! Please review all prep and medical info VERY CAREFULLY to make sure you are a good candidate! Getting the best retention from your permanent makeup session depends on your attention to prep and after care.
01
Two weeks prior- Avoid intense sun exposure (we cannot work on sunburn), chemical peels, laser facial treatments, and fillers. If you are getting eyeliner or brows, discontinue lash serums and brow serums one month prior to avoid bruising or bleeding. Avoid scheduling PMU before beach vacations.
02
One week prior- Discontinue retinol products around the area to be treated. Schedule any Botox appointments before this point. Avoid waxing, electrolysis, or otherwise irritating the skin in the area to be treated.
Eyeliner- Have lash extensions removed a few days prior to liner procedures. We can not tattoo on eyes with extensions.
Lips- If you have ever had a cold sore, ask your doctor to prescribe Valtrex to avoid a breakout. The irritation to the lips make breakouts common during healing. Hydrate your lips and exfoliate lightly 2-3 times the week prior. Dry or chapped lips do not take pigment well.
If you take prescription blood thinners, please speak with your doctor for permission to take a break from them a couple days prior to your treatment. Permanent makeup can still be performed with blood thinner use, but we cannot guarantee results, and there may be additional swelling or bruising.
03
24 hours prior- Limit alcohol, fish oil, vitamin E, or ibuprofen. Please avoid excess caffeine the day of your appointment. For lips, discontinue lip plumper gloss use. For eyeliner, wear glasses.
