Brows

Precare:

• Botox should be done no sooner then four weeks before your appointment.

• Waxing should be done no sooner then one week before.

• If you tint your eyebrows please do so no sooner then one week before your appointment.

Aftercare:

Taking care of your new brows properly will greatly effect your final results, not following aftercare instructions could cause poor retention and may result in you needing a second touch up appointment at an additional charge.:

Less is more! The key is keeping your brows clean and dry while they are healing. Excessive moisture will greatly effect your overall outcome.

I will be sending you home with ointment on your brows, in addition to everything you need to care for your new brows. You'll want to gently wipe your brows with a cleansing wipe upon arriving home and then that's about it! A small amount of a thin moisturizer like coconut oil while they are flaky and dry is fine, this is helpful for clients with drier skin, but I would avoid anything heavier and only use this sparingly.  Using oil blotting papers can help control oil, especially if your skin tends to be oily. 

You'll want to avoid all cosmetics of any kind in the brow area until they are fully healed. Limit long showers, getting your brows wet and sweating the entire healing period. This is absolutely imperative for best results. Avoid the urge to scratch and pick off any dry skin and flakiness that may occur while they are healing. For most clients, healing time is about 10-14 days. 

Your new brows will go through a lot of different stages while they are healing.

What to expect:

Day 1: Slight redness, lots of detail. 

Day 2-4: Brows will look a little darker while they are forming scabs and healing.

Day 5-10: Brows make look patchy and light in certain areas while the scabs are flaking off.

Day 10-14: The new skin healing over top of the pigment is fresh and can make pigment look light. Don't panic!

Tattooing is always a multiple appointment process to achieve the absolute best results and isn’t finished until after our touch up appointment. At your follow up appointment we will make any adjustments that need to be made to your shape and color, touch up any light spots and add density to sparse areas.  

Lips

Precare:

• No botox or filler sooner then one month before your appointment.

• Apply aquaphor three times daily for one week ahead of your appointment. Hydrated lips are much easier to work with, dry chapped lips won’t heal as nice.

Swelling is normal and should be expected and can last for a few days for some clients, please schedule your appointment accordingly.

If you suffer from coldsores this will trigger an outbreak and you'll need to take valtrex for three days before and after your appointment.

Aftercare:

Immediately after your appointment I recommended wiping your lips every 30 minutes or so with water in order to remove excess lymph and reduce scabbing, wash your lips well before bed with gentle soap and warm water, pat dry with a paper towel and apply aquaphor.

Healing time is very quick and easy, just a keep a thin layer of Aquaphor on the area. Your lips may feel swollen and slight bruising may occur. Keep moisturizing with Aquaphor as needed, some flaking or peeling may occur, similar to experiencing a chapped lip.

Color is bright for the first few days then settles in and softens.

Keep the tattooed area away from cosmetics for the next 7 days.

Refrain from using saunas and swimming pools, excessively sweating or sunbathing.

Eyeliner and Lashenhancements

Precare:

• No lash lifts or tints any sooner then two weeks prior to your appointment.

Slight bruising and swelling is normal and should be expected and can last for a few days for some clients, please schedule your appointment accordingly. 

If you normally wear contacts they will have to be removed before the procedure and not worn for at least a week after.

All eyelash serums will need to be ceased 6 months before your appointment and aren't recommended for use after. 

All lash extensions will have to be removed until your new tattoo is completely healed.

Aftercare:

Keep the area clean, free from dirt, cosmetics and bacteria for 10 days.

Wash with a mild fragrance free soap daily and follow with a thin layer of unscented moisturizer. Be careful to not use an excess amount of moisturizer and avoid healing agents such as Neosporin and Polysporin. 

Contacts, makeup, lash extensions and all cosmetics of any kind in the eye area should be avoided for the entire healing period. 

Lash serums are not recommended for during or after the healing period. 

Scabbing and peeling may occur, do not pick!

Skin should be healthy and free of any irritation. 

All clients must be off accutane for at least one year and and take a break from all retinoids, acids and vitamin c serums for two weeks.
