Appointment Prep
Prior to your scheduled services, be sure to do the following for all services:
Be sure to stop using anti-aging (including tretinoid, Retin-A, or other topical ointment) creams 14 days prior to your procedure. This also includes AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and other chemical peels, facials, and microdermabrasion.
Do not wax, pluck, thread, or shave for at least one week prior to your enhancement.
Stop taking aspirin, niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, CoQ10, and ibuprofen 48 hours prior to coming in for your appointment. This can cause excess bleeding.
Avoid sun tanning and getting sun burnt one week ahead of your procedure.
If you get injections, such as Botox, they MUST be done at least 30 days prior.
DO NOT drink alcohol for 48 hours prior to coming in.
MUST be a minimum age of 18. No exceptions. Bring identification with you for your appointment.
PLEASE READ!
If you are any of the following or suffer from any of the following, you might not be a good candidate for permanent makeup:
- Pregnancy-wait till that precious baby is born, then schedule an appointment.
- Diabetes Type 1-you may get permanent makeup if your blood sugar is under control for the duration of the procedure. No pigment will be applied to the following areas: feet, ankles, shins, or buttocks due to poor circulation. Injection sites will also be avoided.
- Lupus-AVOID procedures when cutaneous lupus is active or if there is an active lesion. Any pigment placed in the skin can cause an immune response, lupus flare up, or other reactions.

- Rosacea-any irritation of the pigment may cause irritation until removed.
