Restrictions
To ensure optimal healing and the best results, please follow these guidelines before and after your procedure:
Before Your Procedure
Avoid: Tweezing, waxing, electrolysis, and coloring your brows for two weeks prior to the procedure. This will allow your technician the most flexibility to achieve optimal results.
Skincare Products: Discontinue all skincare products, including lotions, moisturizers, and medicated treatments (e.g., Retinol/Retin-A), at least two weeks prior to your procedure. These products affect the healing process.
Injections: Any cosmetic injections (e.g., Botox, Radiesse, Juvederm, Voluma) must be done at least three weeks before or after your procedure.
Chemical Peels & Laser Treatments: Avoid chemical peels and laser treatments for 60 days before and after your procedure.
Latisse: Stop using Latisse one month before your procedure. It can cause inflammation, excessive bleeding, and poor healing.
Sun Exposure: Do not expose the treated area to the sun for 30 days before and after the procedure. Sunburned or suntanned skin is damaged and will cause excessive bleeding. We cannot perform the procedure on sunburned or suntanned skin.
Water Activities: Do not schedule this procedure within one week of a water vacation.
Alcohol & Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before the procedure to minimize oozing, bleeding, and swelling.
Medications: Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, or niacin 24 hours before the procedure unless medically necessary.
*Please be aware that we will remove your foundation around your brows to determine your true undertones. This is vital for us to choose the right color.
After Your Procedure
Sweating & Exercise: Avoid working out, sweating, or engaging in hot yoga for one week post-procedure. Sweat can interfere with pigment retention.
Steam & Water Exposure: Stay out of steam rooms, saunas, swimming pools, and hot tubs for one week after your procedure.
Touch-up: Be sure to book your touch-up appointment in 6-8 weeks.
Following these guidelines will help ensure the best healing process and long-lasting results. If you have any questions, please contact me.
