PRE-PROCEDURE INFORMATION
· Delicate skin or sensitive areas may swell slightly or redden. Consider not making any social plans for a day or two following any procedure.
· On the day of the procedure, come to the studio with no makeup.
· If you have any medical condition(s) or are taking any prescribed medication, you must consult with your physician and obtain a written consent to get permanent makeup.
· Refrain from the use of alcohol, aspirin, aspirin-containing medications, Ibuprofen or Coumadin for seven days before and two days after any procedure. Refrain from judgment-altering drugs for at least 24 hours prior to any procedure. No medication should be discontinued without first consulting your physician.
· If you are taking sedatives or any medication that causes drowsiness have someone available to drive you home.
· If you are having lip procedures, moisturize your lips for at least 1 week before the procedure. If you have any history of cold sores/fever blisters/herpes simplex, you must contact your physician to obtain the proper prescriptive medication to help prevent such outbreaks, before and after the procedure.
· Do not wear contact lenses during or immediately following the eyeliner procedure. Remember to bring your eyeglasses. You may resume wearing your contact lenses as soon as your eyes return to their original condition before the procedure.
· So the skin is not irritated and swollen for the procedure(s): Any tweezing or waxing should be done at least 48 hours prior to the procedure; electrolysis no less than 5 days before. Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least two weeks.
·
· Any eyelash or eyebrow tinting or eyelash curling should be done no sooner than 48 hours before or two weeks after the procedure. Eyelash extensions must be done at least 2 weeks after the procedure, not prior.
· Permanent makeup procedures are multi-session processes. You are required to come back for at least one touch-up visit before it can be determined that the work is complete. Touch-up visits are scheduled at four week to three-month intervals. There may or may not be an extra charge for them. Check at the time of original consultation for additional charges, if any.
· Be prepared for the color intensity of your procedure to be significantly brighter or darker than what is expected for the final outcome. It will take time for the color to become softer and lighter. This transition in intensity is based on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates.
· Initially, the pigment color may simulate the exact color and tone desired but it will not always remain a perfect match. Pigment colors placed in the skin are constant, but your own skin tones will vary depending on exposure to cold, heat, sun and circulatory changes.
TOUCH-UP INFORMATION
After the permanent makeup procedure, you may or may not require touch-ups.
Since your body will automatically and naturally reject 40% to 60% of the pigment, touch ups are highly recommended.
During the healing process, 4 weeks for eyebrows, 6 weeks for eyes and lips, you will see the lessening of the intensity of the color. If at the end of the healing time you are happy with the outcome, then no touch ups will be needed.
If the color intensity is not as you expected and/or the design needs to be re-adjusted, you will need to set up an appointment for a touch-up.
We cannot perform any touch-ups until the end of the healing process.
Please enquire, at the time of your consultation, if your touch-ups will or will not be included in the procedure fee.
