• Avoid alcohol and caffeine 1 day before procedure to minimize any oozing, bleeding or swelling.
• Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)
• Retinol/Retin-A must be discontinued 7 days prior to procedure. (causes the skin to bleed)

• Chemical peels and laser treatments may not be done within 60 days before or after procedure.
• The use of Latisse® must be discontinued at least 3 months prior to your eyeliner procedure (it creates an inflammatory response, causes excess bleeding and prohibits the eyeliner from healing well).
• Sunburned or Suntanned skin is damaged skin and therefore will cause excessive bleeding. We CANNOT work on sunburned or suntanned skin.
• You cannot expose the area to the sun for 30 days before or after procedure.
• Do not schedule this procedure within one week prior to a water vacation.
• Stay out of steam rooms, saunas, hot yoga, swimming pool, etc. for one week following procedure.

• Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin, fish oil or vitamin E 3 days prior to procedure unless medically necessary.
• Avoid makeup on pigmented area for five days, including non-allergenic makeup. If you MUST wear makeup apply it around the area with clean fingers. Brushes and Blenders Harbor Bacteria. That is an infection waiting to happen.

If you’ve never had micro-pigmentation before, there are a lot of unknowns. One of the most common questions we’re asked is what to expect during the healing process. While every person is different and some heal more quickly or slowly than others, here’s generally what to expect. Temporary side effects from micro-pigmentation include but are not limited to: redness, swelling, puffiness, bruising, dry patches and tenderness.You should expect to lose approximately 1/3 of the initial color during the healing process. We have selected the optimal pigments for you with this in mind. In approximately six days it may appear too light. After about 10 days, the color will show more. It will appear softer when completely healed.

  you can. Lip Blushing causes trauma to the skin which sometimes can aggravate
  cold sores

  advised to wait to have injections for at least 4 weeks after Lip Blushing, to give
  them time to heal.
