PREPARE & AFTERCARE

• DO NOT pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis, 1 week before the procedure
• DO NOT tan 2 weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face
• DO NOT have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure
• DO NOT work out the day of the procedure
• DO NOT have botox 3 weeks prior to the procedure
• DO NOT take Omega 3/ Fish Oil for 2 weeks prior to the procedure
• DO NOT take Vitamin E, 1 week prior to the procedure 
• DO NOT wax or tint your eyebrows 1 week prior to the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

• DO NOT drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo
• DO NOT consume coffee or any type of caffeine before your procedure
• DO NOT take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief (these also thin the blood)

• Area will appear thicker and darker the first 1-2 weeks and may scab or flake day 3-10.
• Monitor treated area for 6 hours & gently dab excess lymph fluid off with clean hands & tissue.
• Keep treated area dry, avoid touching and anything that may cause infection for 24 hours.
• Avoid sleeping on treated area, steam in shower and/ or bath while healing.
• DO NOT let shower head hit brows directly while healing.
• 24 hours after your procedure:   Wash hands for 20 seconds then gently wash the old ointment off using the Cetaphil wash provided in your aftercare package. Use a clean paper towel to lightly blot dry your brows before reapplying a thin, rice grain size (that is enough for both brows) amount of A&D ointment with a q-tip. Do this once a day for oily skin and twice a day for dry skin. Wash and apply fresh ointment on treated area once a day, for 10 days. Less is more with the ointment. You want the skin to be able to breath in order to heal properly.
• No strenuous exercise for 7 days. Sweat can lead to infection. Salt from the sweat can lead to premature fading & will require more touch ups.
• No water activities, steam room or sauna for 14 days to avoid infection.
• No makeup on treated area for 14 days. Makeup homes a lot of bacteria.
• Be mindful to clean hands after petting animals or gardening while healing to avoid infection.
• DO NOT scrub, pick, rub or scratch treated area. Picking scab will result in pigment loss, scarring and delayed healing.
• Several sessions may be needed to achieve goals. Building on pigment makes the treated area look better with each session. An 80% improvement is a realistic goal. Trust the process.
• We recommend annual touchups around 12-18 months. This is a low maintenance procedure, not NO maintenance.
• If you have excessive redness, swelling, tenderness, elevated temperature or purulent drainage from the procedure site please contact your physician as the area may be infected.

IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS AVOID: Sun tanning, sunbeds, light (laser) therapy, chemical peels, fruit acids, microdermabrasion, creams that contain regeneration factors. You should avoid laser treatments during the healing period (Fraxellaser, IPL) because they can destroy the pigment and cause inflammation. Faster fading out of pigment can happen if client is using antibiotics or hormonal therapy. 

Avoid the sun not only during the first 30 days. 

Always protect your eyebrows by wearing a hat and by using grape seed oil. It is the best sun protectant that is all natural and will not strip your pigment over time. 

Failure to follow aftercare instructions may cause loss of pigment, discoloration and infection.

Lip Blush post-care is very important to the appearance and longevity of your new lips. Please read the following aftercare instructions:

Day 1

Immediately following the procedure, lips will feel dry, chapped, tight and tender to the touch. They may appear swollen & bright in color.

For 4 hours after treatment, apply light pressure on lips with a clean paper towel, to remove any lymph. 

After 4 hours, start applying ointment (A&D ointment provided) as needed to keep lips constantly moist.

No kissing, rubbing or friction on treatment area 

Day 1-3

Apply ointment on lips several times a day. Keep lips moist at all times. Avoid oily, spicy and heavily seasoned food and drink with a straw. After every meal gently rinse and clean lips with water & Cetaphil soap provided. Then pat dry and re-apply ointment.

DAY 4-7

Between these days, lips will begin and end the process of peeling, and color will lighten by 30%-50%.
Do not pick or rub your lips and let the peeling happen naturally. Continue keeping your lips moist!

WEEK 2

Lips are done peeling, color is light. You may return to normal routines. Lips will continue to heal, up to 6 weeks. Every week more color will surface, it is important to continue keeping lips moist to get the best color at the end of the healing phase.

WEEK 6-8

Your lips are healed and you're feeling unstoppable!!! Just add some lip gloss and go! In most cases it requires two treatments to complete the lip transformation.

• Practicing sports
• Swimming
• Hot sauna, hot bath, or Jacuzzi
• Sun tanning or salon tanning
• Exposure to UV/UVA Rays or chemicals as they have been known to cause a shift in color and premature fading
• Any laser or chemical treatments or peelings, and/or any creams containing Retin-A or Glycolic acid on the treatment area
• Touching of the treatment area except for when applying the post-care ointment with a cotton swab
• Picking, peeling, or scratching of the treatment area in order to avoid scarring of the area or removal of the pigment
• Performing tasks related to heavy household cleaning such as garage or basement cleaning where there is a lot of airborne debris
