preparation + healing
No laser treatments, chemical peels, or microneedling treatments.
Botox: If you regularly get Botox or Dysport, it must be done at least 14 days prior to your appointment. Botox takes two weeks to fully settle in the skin. Receiving botox within 14 days of your appointment will result in being sent home and rescheduled.
Waxing, Threading, Tinting or Henna: I recommend coming to your appointment with your brows grown out! I will clean up any unneeded hairs at the appointment with a small brow razor. If you need to clean them up beforehand, please do so at least 3 days prior. If you tint your eyebrows, make sure this is done at least 7 days prior.
Retin-A, Retinols, Tretinoin, Adapalene, AHAs: Please refrain from using any chemical exfoliants in the brow area for 2 weeks leading up to your appointment. No Antibiotics
To minimize bleeding during the procedure, please avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine the day before your appointment. Blood thinning medications such as Aspirin, Excedrin, Ibuprofen and Advil should be avoided unless prescribed by a doctor. Please map directions to the clinic — I have a strict 15 minute late policy, so please plan accordingly!
Avoid exercise. Exercising increases blood flow and can cause excessive bleeding, leading to poor healed results. Makeup: If you normally fill your brows in with makeup, feel free to come with them filled in so I can see the shape you’re used to seeing. Feel free to come to your appointment with or without makeup on. We will be taking before & after photos so come how you’re most comfortable!
Reminder: NO PHOTO ID, NO APPOINTMENT
Lastly, it’s OKAY to be nervous…You are human and it would be odd if you weren’t nervous about getting your face tattooed! It’s often the first thing people say when we meet but just relax. This is an exciting day and I’m honored to work together to create your dream brows!
Protect Your Investment
*If having your brows down in the summer months, please be mindful of any vacations or travel plans involving warm climates. It is best to avoid direct sun exposure, sweating, and the area being wet outside of the instructed washing times. The beach, pools, lakes, hiking, boating, and other outdoor activities are best to be avoided for 10-14 days after your appointment. This applies to the Initial, Follow-Up, Additional Touch Up and any Color Refreshers in the future for proper aftercare.
When you invest in a quality service you leave with incredible results.
It is important to protect your investment and our hard work by following the proper care:
Aftercare Info
You will receive an aftercare goodie bag at your first initial appointment! This contains your aftercare balm, fresh applicators, and aftercare card. These products should last for your Initial Session and Follow-Up!
New Paragraph
Avoid for 10-14 Days
- Increased sweating, exercise, strenuous activity
- Getting your brows/forehead wet outside of instructed washing in pools, sauna, jacuzzi, oceans/lakes, baths, etc.
- Tanning bed use at any time after having tattooed can cause discoloration and premature fading.
- Natural tanning. Once healed, use an SPF to avoid premature fading and/or discoloration due to UVA/UVB rays.
- DO NOT PICK at flaking or possible scabbing, this will cause pigment loss. Let all skin naturally exfoliate off.
- Avoid Retin-A, retinol, Vitamin A and oils on the forehead
- No makeup products or other skincare products should be applied to the brows until they are completely done flaking
Washing INstructions
Wash your hands before handling the tattooed area (remember, it’s open skin!) Wash the tattooed area twice a day; morning and night. Using sterile water, wet a clean paper towel and gently wipe each brow from the center out, pat dry with a soft tissue or cotton round, and apply a rice grain amount of provided aftercare product to each brow every time they are washed.
