BROWS
​
Active healing is 7-10 days long
Preprocedural- No alcohol the night before and minimal caffeine the day of. Stop fish oil supplements at least 3 days prior. No Botox at least 2-8 weeks prior depending on results, no peels, IPL lasers, facials treatments, sun tanning, or any other services that might compromise the skin at least two weeks prior.

What to expect
​​
The Don’ts- No dirty fingers touching your new brows. No sweating, no intense exercise, going for a walk or gentle stretching is okay. No sun tanning or bathing for at least 1 month post as the UV rays can change your pigment color. No dirty jobs like gardening or cleaning out your basement. No hot water on your face in the shower, no makeup, skincare or SPF on the brows until healed. You will know it is healed when all of the little flakes (micro scabs are done sloughing off) remember never to pick or scratch them off.
The Do’s- Wash your brows twice a day. At the sink with lukewarm water. Use the gentle soap provided. You can use your clean fingers to apply in a soft circular motion. Minimal soap is best. You can also use a damp cotton round and apply the soap to the center of the round with very gentle pressure making sure not to scrub any scabs off with the round. Rinse the soap off and pat dry with a clean tissue or paper towel (something disposable). Then apply just a grain of rice or two worth of the ointment provided. Always start with brow care then move to skin care and makeup. Avoid the brows with any skincare or makeup, giving the area and buffer zone away from your products. Stay away from cream foundations, reusable makeup sponges and dirty makeup brushes.
LIPS
​
3-5 days of active healing 2 weeks of passive healing
​
Preprocedural-If you are prone to cold sores ask your physician for an antiviral before and after your appointment. This is critical as the trauma to the skin can and most likely will trigger an outbreak. This during the healing process will leach color out and may leave the lips looking uneven. It is essential you exfoliate and moisturize your lips the week leading up to your appointment. Even just using a toothbrush and coconut oil with sugar to remove dead skin would work. You can use a good quality lip balm or Aquaphor to moisturize. If you are chapped and dry, we will have to reschedule your appointment, and you will forfeit your deposit.
​
The Don'ts- No rubbing your lips together, no hot drinks, spicy foods, oily foods or alcohol. Use a straw to drink from if possible. Pat your mouth with napkins no rubbing. No CarMax or other lip balm with salicylic acid in the ingredients. No kissing.
The Do’s- Keep them well hydrated for the next 2 weeks. Use the ointment provided for at least the first 3 days, you may switch to your preferred lip balm afterwards just check the ingredients for an exfoliant.
​
EYELINER
​
Active healing 5-7 days
​​
Preprocedural- If you have any eye conditions you should check with your optometrist to be sure you are able to get the procedure done. Eye surgery should be 1 year healed, eye pressure issues, dry eye and Lasik surgery should be disclosed. Someone with chronic eye infections should not get this procedure done.
​
In person consultations are always recommended for eyeliner procedure
You can carefully ice the area if needed within 24 hours of the procedure. Use a clean bag or ice pack and do not press it directly on to the area that was tattooed. No makeup or skincare on or close to the area tattooed.
​
Healing usually occurs within 5-7 days but can take longer depending on your skin. You will see flaking and tiny scabs that will slough off on its own. Never pick or scratch them. The color will fade as it is healing and look patchy. This is normal and some of the color will return as it finishes its healing cycle.
​
Wash twice a day with gentle soap provided in your aftercare or a baby soap. Wash in the sink not the shower or bath. With clean hands and closed eyes using a gentle circular motion and luke warm water. Wash gently, rinse gentle and blot dry with a paper towel. Apply a small amount of ointment. Do this twice a day until healed.
