Pre-Procedure Instructions

​

Eyebrows:

​

• Avoid tweezing, waxing, electrolysis, and coloring your brows for two weeks prior to the procedure. This will allow me to be the most flexibility to achieve optimal results. 

• If you wear makeup, please do wear your everyday makeup to your appointment to determine your personal style and look. 

• Some or all makeup will be removed to clean and prep the area for the procedure. 

​

​

Eyeliner:

​

• Do not wear contact lenses during or immediately following your eyeliner procedure. Remember to bring your glasses. You may resume wearing your contact lenses as soon as your eyes return to their pre-treated condition.

• The use of Latisse® must be discontinued at least 3 months prior to your eyeliner procedure. Latisse® produces an inflammatory reaction in the skin, which causes excessive pain and bleeding. If you use Latisse®, your eyeliner will not take properly.

• Do not use other growth stimulants such as RapidLash®, or RevitaLash® for at least one week prior to or one week after your eyeliner procedure.

​

Lips:

• If you have a history of any cold sores/ herpes virus, you must obtain an anti-viral medication script from your physician such as Valtrex, Zovirax, or Famvir. The lip procedure causes trauma to the area and will 100% trigger an outbreak. Therefore a script will need to be obtained before having the lip procedure to prevent the outbreak from happening. Some people may have the herpes simplex virus but may not know or may have only had one cold sore in their life. If you are not sure, it is important to get the script prophylactically. If you would like the added insurance, please take the amino acid supplement L-lysine 1000mcg- double dose: 2 pills - twice a day for 7 - 10 days before the procedure. This will help enhance the immune system. 

• Begin your Anti-Viral medication 2 days prior or if taking L-lysine supplement, begin 7-10 days prior to the procedure. 

• 3 days before the lip procedure begin exfoliating the lips morning and night with a homemade coconut oil and sugar scrub.

• For best results, please take Arnica Montana for 3 days before and 3 days after lip procedure to aid in reduced swelling and bruising. Arnica Montana pellets can be found at any health food store (Wegmans, Amazon, or IY Foods).

• Micropigmentation on the lips is a process. Two or three sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. It is not uncommon to lose up to 70% of the color after the first session.
