• Previous cosmetic tattooing 

•  Stop using retinoids, Retin-A/Tretinoin, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and other exfoliating (AHA) products at least 14 days before your appointment. These products thin the skin and can affect pigment retention.
• Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Niacin) for 48 hours before your appointment, unless prescribed by your physician.
• Discontinue fish oil and turmeric supplements at least 14 days prior, if approved by your healthcare provider.

• Avoid tanning or arriving with sunburned skin. Sunburned or damaged skin cannot be tattooed.
• Schedule Botox or filler treatments at least 2 weeks before or after your permanent makeup appointment.
• Avoid facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, electrolysis, exfoliating treatments, and facial procedures for 14 days before your appointment.
• If you have scars or moles in the treatment area, please let us know. Pigment retention over scar tissue cannot be guaranteed, and moles will not be tattooed.
• On the day of your appointment, avoid caffeine and strenuous exercise, as both can increase bleeding and affect pigment retention.
• If you have an iron deficiency, continue taking your prescribed iron supplements to support optimal healed color.

Following these guidelines helps minimize bleeding, promotes proper healing, and improves your final result.

 Healing is a two-step process, and your final results will not be visible until after your perfecting touch-up appointment.

• Mild redness and tenderness are normal for the first few hours. 
• Your brows will appear darker and more defined immediately after your appointment. This is temporary and will soften as they heal. 
• Light flaking typically begins within a few days. Do not pick or peel the flaking skin, as this can affect your results. 
• During healing, your brows may appear lighter or as though the pigment has disappeared. This is a normal part of the healing process, and the color will gradually return as your skin heals. 
• Mild itching is also a normal part of healing.

 Proper aftercare is essential for the best healed results. Follow these instructions for 7–14 days, or until all flaking has stopped.

• Wash your brows gently morning and evening with a mild, fragrance-free antimicrobial soap using clean hands. 
• Pat dry with a clean towel—do not rub. 
• Apply a very thin layer of the provided aftercare ointment after cleansing (a rice grain-sized amount is sufficient for both brows). 
• You may wash the rest of your face as usual, avoiding the brow area except when cleansing as directed.

• Touching or scratching the treated area. 
• Picking or peeling flaking skin. 
• Makeup, skincare products, SPF, retinoids, exfoliants, or acids on the brows. 
• Excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, or steam. 
• Direct sun or UV exposure. 
• Direct water pressure on the brows (other than gentle cleansing). 
• Petroleum-based products unless specifically recommended. 
• Facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, massages, or other skin treatments until fully healed.
