Permanent Makeup

For 2 weeks prior, do not use Retin-A or retinoids close to the procedure area. IPL and Laser Hair Removal should be performed no less than 2 weeks prior. For one week prior to your appointment, do not take oral fish oil supplements or vitamin E to prevent excessive bleeding. Electrolysis treatments should be performed no les than 5 days prior.

Waxing/threading should be performed no less than 3 days prior to your procedure. Do not take NSAIDs 2 days prior to your procedure, and do not drink alcohol 24 hours prior. Avoid scheduling any social plans on the day of or after your procedure.

Please arrive to your appointment wearing your normal makeup. A senstivity test will be performed, unless waived upon request.

Only use freshly washed hands when cleaning the PMU area. For brows, wet a 2x2 or clean paper towel with water and pat off any excess lymph fluid, then pat dry. Apply ointment provided at your appointment for 2 days, then dry heal. For lips, apply ointment when dry until healed. Circadia Lip Renewing Hydrator (naked) may be used the day after your service until lips are healed.

If there is any lymph fluid, you may wipe gently with a piece of wet gauze. Do not scrub, rub, or pick at the scabbing that forms. Allow it to flake off by itself, otherwise you may lose pigment.

Healing times vary person to persons and service to service. Swelling, itching, scabbing, light bruising, dryness, and tightness can all be expected post procedure. Ice packs may be used for swelling or bruising. Aftercare ointment should be applied for scabbing, tightness, and dryness. Do not use any retinols or actives, including serums, during the PMU process (initial appointment to follow up appointment).

Avoid water, sweating, tanning beds, wearing makeup, exposure to steam, etc. for 2 weeks post procedure. Always use a sun block after the procedure area is healed to protect it from sun fading.

Too dark and slightly uneven appearance is normal. Full results can be seen in 4 weeks. A follow up should be scheduled 30-45 days after the first session (no additional cost) to address any color change/loss. A touch up may be needed 1-5 years after the initial procedure depending on your skin, medications, and sun exposure.

Failure to follow aftercare instructions may result in infections, pigment loss, or discoloration.
