Before care instructions
Before
- Do NOT DRINK ALCOHOL at least 24hrs for alcohol before the procedure.
- Do NOT DRINK CAFFEINE (coffee/tea/soda etc.) before the procedure.
- Do NOT TAKE Advil or other blood thinners such as Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary (consult with your doctor) 48-72 hours prior to your procedure. Extra strength Tylenol can be taken if you have low pain tolerance.
- Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior (natural blood thinners).
- Do not tan 3 weeks before or 3 weeks after the procedure.
- If you’ve had laser removal of previous work done by someone else, the treated area has now more scar tissue and can affect the outcome of the result. More treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
- Botox should be done 3 weeks before or 3 weeks after the procedure.
- Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products 1 month prior.
- Do not have any type of facial peel or microdermabrasion 1 month prior or after procedure.
- Avoid exercising the day of procedure as this will open up the pores.
- Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
- No waxing or tinting 3 days before.
- No bleaching brows 1 month prior (it is also recommended to not bleach brows after procedure).
- It usually takes at least 2 appointments for desired results. The first appointment is about structure, design, and building hair strokes. the touchup is about seeing how the skin heals and retains pigment, as well as making any necessary adjustments to achieve better symmetry and volume. Some people might require more than 1 touch up. All results vary.
- Immediately following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined. Over the next 2 days it will appear even darker and thicker as scabs begin to form. Let the scabs naturally flake off bit by bit. It will take up to 14 days for scabbing to be over.
- You may NOT get the area wet or apply any kind of products (except what is provided on the aftercare instructions) for at least 7-10 days after. No makeup on the area for at least 2 weeks.
