Before getting permanent makeup for your brows, it’s essential to follow pre-care instructions to ensure the best results and minimize any potential discomfort or complications. Here are some pre-care instructions:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun and tanning beds for at least one weeks before your appointment. Sunburned or overly tanned skin can be more sensitive and may not hold pigment as well.

2. Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil for at least a week before the procedure. These can increase bleeding and affect pigment retention.

3. No Alcohol or Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment. These substances can contribute to increased bleeding and may affect the procedure’s outcome.

4.     Discontinue Retinol: If you use products containing retinol or vitamin A, stop using them around a week before the appointment, as they can make the skin more sensitive.

5.     Stay Hydrated: Keep your skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to the procedure. Hydrated skin can heal better.

6.     Avoid Facial Treatments: Don’t undergo any facial treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapies for at least two weeks before your appointment.

7.     Remove Makeup: Come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free brows. Your artist needs a clear canvas to work on.

8.     Plan Your Outfit: Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment, as you may be lying down for an extended period. Avoid tight-fitting tops that might rub against your brows.

        9.     Please turn the ringer on your phone to silent, it’s important your artist can focus without interruptions. 

Remember, these pre-care instructions are crucial to ensure a successful and comfortable permanent makeup brow procedure. Always follow your artist’s specific guidelines to achieve the best results and minimize any potential complications.

Aftercare is crucial for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your permanent makeup brows. Here’s a guide for aftercare:

Day of the Procedure:

1.    Blot your brows gently with a tissue every 1-3 hours 

Starting the next morning (and continuing morning and night) :

Wash them gently with a little soap and water on your  fingertips. Use just enough water to get the soap off (you don’t want to over saturate) then blot them dry. Once dry use a grain sized amount of provided ointment which will be enough for both brows.

First 7-10 days:

     1. Do not touch or pick at your brows 

     2. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your brows from direct sunlight and tanning beds. UV rays can fade the pigment.

3. No Makeup or Skincare Products: Steer clear of makeup, skincare products, and serums on or around the treated area for about a week.

4. Avoid Sweating: Refrain from strenuous workouts or activities that cause excessive sweating for the first week.

Long-Term Care:

5. Gentle Cleansing: When you start cleaning your face again, use a gentle, non-alcoholic cleanser. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing your brows.

6. Use Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen to your brows when going out in the sun to protect them from fading.

7. Avoid Chemical Peels: Avoid chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or harsh exfoliants on the treated area, as they can cause pigment fading.

8. Avoid Swimming Pools: Chlorine in swimming pools and hot tubs can affect the pigment, so it’s best to keep your brows out of chlorinated water.

9. Avoid Saunas and Steam Rooms: High heat and steam can also cause fading, so it’s advisable to avoid saunas and steam rooms.

10. Touch-up Appointments: Follow up with any recommended touch-up appointments to maintain the color and shape of your permanent makeup brows.

Remember that the healing process varies from person to person. Your technician will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your situation. Always follow their guidance for the best results and consult with them if you have any concerns during the healing process.
