What should I do to prepare for my appointment?

4-6 Weeks Prior:

• Discontinue use of anti-aging or acne skincare products that contain any Vitamin-A (retinol, retin-a, tretinoin). Even if you don't use these products directly on your brows, these products do migrate and can affect your heal.

• Wait at least 4 weeks between botox/filler and cosmetic tattooing appointments.

• Avoid any sort of resurfacing services such as laser treatments, microdermabrasion, micro-needling and chemical peels.

1-2 Weeks Prior:

• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for two weeks.

• Discontinue waxing, threading, tweezing, laminations and tinting.

• Discontinue exfoliating skincare like salicylic, glycolic and hyaluronic acids.

• If you are getting lip blush and tend to have dry or chapped lips, please exfoliate and moisturize your lips. Chapped or dry lips cannot be tattooed.

24-48 hours prior:

• No caffeine, ibuprofen, aspirin and alcohol.

• Discontinue blood thinning supplements such as fish oil, Vitamin-E and ginger. If you are on a blood thinner, please consult your doctor before discontinuing use.

• If you are getting lip-blush and have had cold sores at any point, please begin taking an anti-viral a few days before your appointment and continue use for one week after.
