Eyebrows

Before Care

• • Do not work out the day of the procedure.
  • Do not tan or have a sunburned face.
  • Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, and Vitamin E, Fish Oil or Ibuprofen 24 hours before the procedure.
  • No alcohol or caffeine 2 days before the procedure.
  • No waxing or tinting 3 days before the procedure.
  • Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
  • No tweezing/waxing at least 48 hours before procedure; electrolysis no less than five days before. Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least two weeks.

After Care

• • • NO water, cleansers, creams, makeup or any other products on the treated area for 3-7 days.
    • DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate off. Picking can cause scarring.
    • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 3-4 weeks after the procedure.
    • Avoid heavy sweating for the first 10 days.
    • NO facials, Botox, chemical treatments and micro derma for 4 weeks.
    • Smoking will affect your result and may cause pigment to fade prematurely.
    • Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
    • Long-Term Care
    • Use a good sunscreen on your eyebrows if you plan to be in the sun for prolonged periods of time. Sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics.
    • If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your permanent cosmetics.
    • The use of Retin­A/Tretinoin or any other rapid skin exfoliation products used regularly on the forehead area will cause the permanent makeup to the eyebrow area to fade prematurely.
    • The use of chemical peels and acid peels regularly on the forehead region can also cause eyebrow tattoos to fade prematurely.

Not Recommended

• • • Have to be over 18 years old for the procedure
    • Pregnant or nursing
    • Diabetic
    • Chemotherapy (consult your doctor)
    • Viral infections and/or diseases
    • Epilepsy
    • Pacemaker or major heart problems
    • Organ transplant
    • Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.)
    • Sick (cold, flu, etc.)
    • Botox in the past 2 weeks
    • Antacids, thyroid and anxiety medications have been reported as interfering with permanent makeup either by affecting retention or shifting the pigment to an undesirable tone.

Remember, everything we eat and drink has its own chemical structure and the electron ends that are unattached or free, may get attached to other compounds inside the body forming a new molecule that may show a different color spectrum.

With that info, an educated client may have better expectations and know that she/he may need more frequent adjustments than others. The better condition your skin is in, the better the final result will be. Mature clients may need an additional one to two weeks healing for the final results to appear. The better you take care of your skin and protect it from UV rays, the better the outcome and lifespan of the permanent cosmetic procedures.

Eyeliners

Before Care

• • • Do not work out the day of the procedure.
    • Do not tan or have a sunburned face.
    • Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, and Vitamin E, Fish Oil or Ibuprofen 24 hours before the procedure.
    • No alcohol or caffeine 2 days before the procedure.
    • No waxing or tinting 3 days before the procedure.
    • Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
    • No tweezing/waxing at least 48 hours before procedure; electrolysis no less than five days before. Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least two weeks.
    • Eyelash or eyebrow tinting or eyelash curling should be done no sooner than 48 hours before, or two weeks after the procedure.
    • Please remove all lashes extensions before the eyeliner procedure.
    • Do not wear contact lenses during or immediately following the eyeliner procedure. Remember to bring your glasses. You may resume wearing your contact lenses as soon as your eyes return to their pre-tattooed condition.

After Care

• • • Eye drops can be used every one to two hours after the procedure for the first day. If needed, a steroid eye drop may be prescribed as well.
    • Ice packs can be used with a clean barrier such as a tissue for ten minutes maximum per hour. It is not recommended to use ice packs after three hours.
    • Avoid touching the eye area except for clean cotton swabs and any clean warm compresses.
    • You should expect a certain amount of mattering around the eyelashes in the morning, and/or swelling of the eyelids, caused by natural nighttime fluid retention. The eye area may be cleaned gently with clean, warm compresses. Be sure to apply your cream to the treatment area afterward.
    • You may experience some itchiness or irritation. Under no circumstance should you pick, scratch, or rub the eyelid margins or make any attempt to remove crusty material along the eyelashes. Removal of the crusts may result in removal of the actual pigment.
    • Baths and showers are permitted as long as the face does not become wet. Avoid swimming pools for at least two weeks. After two weeks or after the pigment scabs over (whichever comes first), you may resume all normal methods of swimming and bathing.
    • Mascara and eyeliner are not permitted for the first two weeks or until the pigment scabs over. After this time, all regular makeup can be resumed without any further complications.
    • For the first 24 to 48 hours, it is not unusual to experience some light sensitivity, and the use of dark sunglasses is permitted and recommended. We recommend wearing sunglasses for the first week following the procedure; sunbathing of the face is permitted only with the use of protective sunglasses.
    • Avoid tanning beds and sun exposure for two weeks or until the treatment area heals.
    • Do not wear contact lenses during the procedure. Contact lenses may be resumed after flaking is complete.
