Before + After Care

  • Before your appointment:

    • Stop using any products containing vitamins A, E, and C, BHA, AHA (lactic and glycol acids) or retinal acids on your face for at least 7 days prior to your appointment.

    • Discontinue using brow serums for hair growth for at least 7 days.

    • Discontinue using any harsh chemicals or skin brightening products on the face/brows for at least 7 days. 

    • Discontinue taking any blood thinners for at least 3 days.

    • Do not remove any brow hairs for at least 2 week prior to your appointment, as we will shape and clean them symmetrically at the appointment.

    To prevent excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

    • Do not consume alcohol or caffeine at least 24 hours prior to your appointment

    • Do not take (or discontinue taking) Ibuprofen (Advil and all other kinds), aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, or any blood thinners, at least 48 hours prior to your appointment

    • Do not have any deep facials or chemical peels at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment

    • Do not smoke the day of your appointment, or at least 5 hours prior

    • Do not partake in heavy workouts the day of your appointment

    After care:

    The healing process is really important for proper ink retention and best results, so make sure to follow them carefully!

    Your brows are now going to heal similarly to any fresh little cuts on the skin, they will continue to get darker and possibly form a scab-like texture. They will then start to flake off, and can take 10-15 days to fully flake off. 

    Please check email for detailed aftercare instructions.

      Until the peeling is done:

    • Keep brows dry for about 2 weeks until peeling is done - no sweating, heavy workouts, swimming, sunbathing, or directly washing/showering - brow shields provided for showers.

    • Do not apply anything on the brows after the procedure. No oils or vaseline. Ointment provided in your kit only. 

    • Do not scratch or pick at the brows.

    • Do not apply makeup on or near your brows for 2 weeks

    • Sun protection on the brows (SPF or a hat) helps with long-term ink retention!

    • No chemical peels for at least 4-6 weeks after the scabs have completely fallen off

    • Applying any products containing BHA, AHA (glycol and lactic acids), retinol acids, & vitamin C, directly on or near the brows can fade your pigment.

    Refer to email or aftercare kit for detailed instructions!

  • Before your appointment:

    • Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks prior to your appointment

    • Avoid lip fillers for at least 3 weeks prior to your appointment 

    • Discontinue taking any blood thinners for at least 5 days.

    To prevent excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

    • Do not consume alcohol or caffeine - including tea and soda, at least 24 hours prior to your appointment

    • Do not take (or discontinue taking) Ibuprofen (Advil and all other kinds), aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, or any blood thinners, at least 48 hours prior to your appointment

    • Do not smoke the day of your appointment, or at least 5 hours prior

    • Do not partake in heavy workouts the day of your appointment

    *** Use a lip scrub (you can make one using coconut oil and sugar as well) once a day for about a week prior to your appointment to exfoliate and prep your lip texture. Crusty, dry, and peeling lips will have a rough surface, preventing proper pigment saturation and a poor healed result. Use the morning of your appointment as well - do not over scrub to the point that you have raw or compromised skin. Make sure to use a lip conditioner, mask, or balm daily (at least a week) prior to your appointment to ensure lips are in great shape. 

    ***** IMPORTANT: If you have a history of cold sores or are prone to them, you will have to start taking an anti-viral prescription (Valacyclovir, Denavir (Penciclovir), Valtrex or Acyclovir (Zovirax)), at least 4-7 days BEFORE your appointment. You must contact your physician and ask for a prescription. Cold sore outbreaks are often triggered by stress or trauma to the lips and skin. Therefore, lip blush procedure will most likely cause an outbreak if you do not take an anti-viral medication prior. Your appointment WILL be cancelled if you have had a history of cold sores and do not follow these instructions (with cancellation fees). Cold sores will affect the healing process, your results, and can even lead to scarring. Please do not skip this step.

    After care:

    The healing process is really important for proper ink retention and best results, so make sure to follow them carefully!

    ​Lips may look a little swollen post-procedure, and very bright! It can take approximately 5-7 days for your lips to fully peel and heal! Detailed aftercare instructions are in your kit and email.

    • Cleanse and moisturize lips every couple hours as instructed the first week.

    • No working out or sweating until the peeling is complete.

    • Avoid spicy foods, try to eat with fork and drink from a straw for the first 3 days at least

    • Avoid kissing until peeling is complete

    • Do not apply any makeup on or near the lips for about a week (until peeling is done)

    • Do not pick at or peel your lips, this will remove the ink from your lips

    • Avoid sun exposure for about 2 weeks after the appointment. SPF lip balms are recommended post peeling if under the sun!

    • No lip fillers for at least 2 weeks after the procedure.

    Swelling should reside within 24 hours. The lips will look very bright, will peel for almost a week, and then will gradually gain more color as the lips heal. It can take approximately 40 days for the ink to pick back up. Any areas that have remained faint or needs perfecting will be perfected at the touch-up appointment! Lips should heal 30-40% lighter than how they look initially.

  • Before your appointment:

    • Discontinue using lash serums for hair growth like Latisse for at least 5 days.

    • Discontinue taking any blood thinners for at least 2 days.

    • Do not have any lash extensions on and make sure to remove at least the day before your appointment so eye are not sensitive or irritated.

    To prevent excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

    • Do not consume alcohol or caffeine - including tea and soda, at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

    • Do not take (or discontinue taking) Ibuprofen (Advil and all other kinds), aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, or any blood thinners, at least 48 hours prior to your appointment.

    • Do not smoke the day of your appointment, or at least 5 hours prior.

    • Do not partake in heavy workouts the day of your appointment.

    • No botox injections 1 month prior to procedure in eye area only.

    • If you wear contacts, you will be asked to remove them for the time of your appointment.

    After care:

    Aftercare for eyeliner is really simple. 

    Swelling, puffiness, and small light bruising can be expected immediately after the service and can take up to a few days to completely settle down. Regular day-to-day activities can be resumed unless, very rarely, a client who may already have extremely sensitive skin may notice more than usual swelling and redness.

    We recommend on a week long of dry heal. Clearly, our eyes are naturally wet but just refrain from soaking your eyes area in water (shower/ bath/ swimming), avoid saunas, wearing eye makeup, applying moisturizer, etc.

    ​Detailed after care instructions are in your email.

    • No working out or sweating.

    • Do not apply anything on the eyes after the procedure. No oils, creams, serums, ointments, vaseline/petroleum jelly. Dry healing only.

    • Do not scratch or pick at the scabs. This can lift the ink out of the skin with the scab.

    • Do not apply makeup on or near your eyes for at least a week

    • No lash extensions or fake/strip lashes until your eyeliner is fully peeled off and healed (7-14 days).

    • Refrain from applying lash growth solutions, such as Latisse, near and around your eyes area for 2 weeks for best healed results.
