PRE/POST INSTRUCTIONS

bb (3)_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited

You may not have eyelash extensions on for your appointment, they must be removed prior to your appointment. Please discontinue use of Latisse 12 weeks before your appointment and all other eyelash serums discontinue 8 weeks prior. Eyelash serum before your appointment will cause excess swelling, discomfort, little retention, and undesirable results. Contacts must be removed before eyeliner procedures.

DO

Please obtain a doctor’s release before scheduling if you have a heart condition, diabetes, lupus or are currently undergoing chemotherapy.

DONT

  • Do not drink alcohol 24 hours or caffeine 8 hours before your appointment. If you choose to drink alcohol within 24 hours of your appointment, your results may be affected by your choice. Alcohol thins the blood which causes excess bleeding that will wash the pigment out of the skin

  • Do not wax, thread, or tweeze within 3 days of your appointment.

  • Do not use products containing acids 7 days before your appointment.​​

AVOID

  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure on the treatment area 14 days before your appointment. If you have new sun exposure before or after your appointment you may heal with an undesirable result.

  • Avoid exercise before your appointment. Avoid any type of cardio exercise the day of your appointment this could increase bleeding or scabbing.

  • ​Please avoid blood-thinning medications 72 hours prior to your appointment, these medications include Vitamin E, Aspirin, Advil, Niacin, and fish oil supplements. If you are directed by your doctor to take one of these medications do not stop taking it without consulting with your doctor first. If you have taken these medications, please text me prior to your appointment. Some may have a shorter window. You must wait at least one year before you may have permanent makeup after Accutane. If you are currently under a doctor’s care or have any major medical conditions, you may not be a candidate for permanent makeup.

PRE CARE

POST CARE

DAY 1-2

You may use artificial tears if your eyes feel dry. If your eyes feel they need to be cleaned, use the wipes provided to gently press clean. Wash PM with a gentle cleanser. Ice as needed.
 

DAYS 3-10

  • AM gently press your eyes clean with a wipe provided.

  • You may use artificial tears if your eyes feel dry.

  • Apply a very thin layer of ointment to your eyelids.

  • PM wash with a gentle cleanser or gently press clean with a wipe.

  • Always allow the eyelids to dry for 5-10 minutes after washing before applying a thin layer of ointment.

DURING HEALING

  • Limit showers to 5 minutes.

  • Do not touch your eyes with unwashed hands.

  • Do not wear any eye makeup.

  • Avoid swimming and sweating, these activities could cause poor retention and lead to an infection.

  • Use a clean pillowcase.

  • Do not use eyelash serum.

  • Do not use a washcloth on your eyes.

  • Do not pick, peel, or lift any scabs/flakes even if you think they are no longer attached.

  • Avoid sun exposure, please wear a hat and sunglasses

when outdoors.

ONCE HEALED

  • Your flakes will have finished peeling at this point. Your eyes should no longer feel tender.

  • The color will appear softer and will take up to 8 weeks to bloom,

  • You may begin wearing eye makeup.

  • Please open a new tube of mascara.

  • You may get eyelash extensions 2 weeks after your procedure.

  • Do not get a eyelash lift or tint until 5 weeks post procedure.

  • Do not use eyelash serum until 2 months after your touchup appointment.

PLEASE NOTE

  • Please note the final result cannot be judged until a minimum of 4 weeks. Even though most people appear to be healed on day 10, the pigment is covered by new skin and will not fully show up until the thick layer of new skin is not covering the pigment. This process usually takes 4+ weeks. Do not panic, they are not gone it is just part of the healing process. It is normal to have some patchiness after your first appointment which is why the touch up appointment is necessary. All skin heals different and following proper aftercare is needed.

  • Results are not guaranteed. Some people will need more than two sessions to get the results they desire. *These additional sessions are not included and will be charged the regular touch up price.

  • After healing it is necessary to maintain your results with a daily sunscreen. Fading will depend on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, acids used, peels, etc.

  • Most people will return for annual touch ups after 1-3 years. After 36 months, it is considered a new procedure.

  • All services are nonrefundable

  • If you had previous permanent makeup in the area I am treating, please be advised that you will not have the same results as someone who did not have previous permanent makeup. These pigments that have been previously applied by someone else can be hard to correct as we do not know what brand/type were used and there is usually some trauma to the skin.

  • Your results will be based on the canvas I have to work on.
