Pre-Care
In order for fresh micropigmentation to heal properly and look sharp, one must follow the following Pre-Care instructions. Pre-Care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the service. Excessive bleeding during the procedure will dilute the pigment color and lead to poor healed results. Pigment when mixed with blood will change the color result, appearing more ashy/purple.
1. Do not work out 48 hours before the procedure.
– The body can burn for up to 36 hours after a work-out
and body heat expands the pores making it harder to retain the pigment.
2. No alcohol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, or Pepto-Bismol 48 hours before the treatment
- They may thin the blood.
3. No caffeine the day of the treatment - It may make your client jittery.
Although caffeine is not a blood thinner, it will increase blood pressure which can then cause more bleeding.
4. Avoid sun and tanning on the face 2 weeks prior to the procedure
– We cannot work on compromised skin.
5. Avoid fish oil, prenatal vitamins, nutritional shakes, and “Hair-Skin-Nails”
supplements – They can increase bleeding time or thin the blood.
6. Discontinue Retin-A, Chemical & Laser peels, Microdermabrasion,
Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), and any chemical exfoliants or
“brightening” skincare at least 6 weeks prior to procedure.
(Once brows are healed, avoid use of these products near the eyebrows for prevention of premature fading.)
7. Botox and filler on the forehead, temple, and eye area
should be done 3 weeks prior or 2 months after the procedure.
– Symmetry can be hard to balance with too recent of botox.
8. No waxing, tinting, or threading 1 week prior to the procedure.
– The more natural hair you have the better. Also waxing may cause a breakout.
9. PLEASE NOTE: One may be more sensitive during their menstrual cycle!
10. Clients who smoke THC or cigarettes will bleed more,
which will lead to poor retention and slow healing of wounds.

In order for your new brows to heal properly (and look their best) these Pre & Post Care Instructions found below are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE! Pre-Care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the service. Excessing bleeding during the procedure will dilute the pigment color and lead to poor results!
Attention Please: We strongly advise prospective new clients to book their appointments at least 3-4 months in advance of Vacations, Weddings, and Special Occasions. This allows adequate time for healing of both your Initial Appointment as well as a Complimentary Enhancement Session 6-12 weeks after your initial visit. Dream brows cannot be achieved in just one session, this is a multiple-step process! Some clients may require more than two sessions to achieve their desire density and shape.
