To achieve the best results, it is essential that you read, understand and follow these pre-care and aftercare instructions:
​
4 weeks before your appointment
-
4 weeks before your appointment or 4 weeks after your appointment.
-
Discontinue use of products with Retinol in brow area (until your brows are healed)
2 weeks before your appointment

​
48 hours before your appointment

​
24 hours before your appointment
-
Avoid taking blood thinners such as ibuprofen, aspirin, Aleve, NSAIDS, vitamin E or fish oil
-
Avoid consuming alcohol or caffeine. This will prevent excess bleeding as well as minimize the swelling during your appointment.
-
Avoid smoking as nicotine increases your blood pressure and can cause excessive bleeding which causes the pigment to be pushed out and can impact your results.
-
Avoid waxing, threading, tinting or performing electrolysis before your procedure.
-
If you are feeling sick or unwell, please notify me immediately.
On the day of your appointment
-
Please arrive on time for your appointment. Plan ahead and allow extra time for potential traffic delays, being late will result in a loss of deposit, and will require a new deposit to reschedule a new appointment.
-
Please be mindful of our "No Guest(s)" Policy, as the environment is not ideal for children, pets, or waiting guests due to the lengthy procedure time, which can be uncomfortable and distracting for your guest(s) and for your artist.
-
Clients will be required to fill out Consent form and liability waiver prior to their procedure.
-
Clients are required to wear a brand-new mask upon entering the residence. A new disposable mask will be provided upon your arrival.
Aftercare
-
Avoid sweating: Refrain from any activities that cause excessive sweating (e.g., workouts, saunas). Sweat can break down pigment, leading to poor color retention and increasing the risk of infection.
-
Keep brows dry: Do not expose your brows to water, direct shower streams, steam, saunas, swimming pools, saltwater, or baths until fully healed.
-
Protect from environmental exposure: Keep healing skin away from direct sunlight, tanning beds, pets, dust, smoke, and harsh environments. Avoid all skincare and cosmetic products on the brow area—including makeup, toners, moisturizers, serums, and sunscreen—until the area is fully healed.
-
Postpone treatments: Avoid Botox, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or any chemical treatments for at least 5 weeks following your appointment.
​​
Prolonging your brow life​
-
Avoid facial treatments near the brow area while your skin is healing, and even after, to preserve the integrity of the pigment.
-
Once fully healed, apply sunscreen to your brows regularly when exposed to sunlight or UV/UVA rays. This will help protect the pigment and prolong color retention, preventing premature fading.
