Contraindications:

You are not a candidate for micropigmentation if any of the following apply to you:

  • Pregnancy

  • Nursing

  • Diabetes Type 1

  • Lupus

  • Hepatitis B/C

  • AIDS

  • Active Skin Disorders: Cold Sores, Shingles, Impetigo, Psoriasis, Pink Eye, Sun Burn,

  • Severe Rosacea

  • Blood Disorders: Sickle Cell, Hemophilia

  • Keloid Formation

  • Mental Disorder

  • Accutane (must be off for 12 months)

  • Steroids (must be off for 6 months)

Restrictions:

  • Retinol/Retin-A must be discontinued 7 days prior to procedure. (It will cause the skin to bleed).

  • Injections (Botox, Radiesse, JuvaDerm, Voluma, etc.) must be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after the procedure.

  • Chemical peels and laser treatments may not be done within 60 days before or after the 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 the 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.

  • Avoid sweating for 1 week post procedure (sweat will prevent pigment from healing into the skin).

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine 1 day before the procedure to minimize any oozing, bleeding or swelling.

  • Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin, fish oil or vitamin E 3 days prior to procedure unless medically necessary.

Healing Expectations:

ALL SEMI-PERMANENT COSMETIC PROCEDURES ARE MULTI-SESSION PROCESSES. An initial application is incomplete until after a follow-up appointment, which must be scheduled approximately 6-10 weeks after your initial appointment. There is no additional charge for the follow-up appointment after your initial application as long as it is performed within three months of the initial application. (This excludes Scar Correction/Camouflage, Areola work, Tattoo Removal and Corrective work which are priced per hour.)

WHILE YOUR SKIN HEALS, BE PREPARED FOR THE COLOR INTENSITY OF YOUR PROCEDURE TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER, SHARPER, BRIGHTER, OR DARKER than what is expected for the final outcome. This is a normal and expected result of the application and healing process. The healing process will take a number of days to complete, depending on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates and new skin regrows to take its place. Since delicate skin or sensitive areas may swell slightly or redden, some clients feel it best not to make social plans for a day or two following any procedure.

Pre-Procedure Instructions:

Eyebrows:

  • Avoid tweezing, waxing, electrolysis, and coloring your brows for two weeks prior to the procedure. This will allow your technician the most flexibility to achieve optimal results.

  • Please be aware that we will remove your foundation and concealer to determine your true undertones. This is vital for us to choose the right color.

  • We offer several different options of eyebrow pigmentation lasting from several months to several years. (Microblading vs. traditional micropigmentation). We offer hair strokes, hair strokes with shading and fully shaded brows. Your specialist will discuss the best options for you depending on your skin type, lifestyle, desired results and desired maintenance.

  • Rest assured, we use the best tools and the best pigments in the industry.

Eyeliner

  • Do not wear contact lenses during or immediately following your eyeliner procedure. Remember to bring your glasses. You may resume wearing your contact lenses as soon as your eyes return to their pre-treated condition.

  • The use of Latisse® must be discontinued at least 3 months prior to your eyeliner procedure. Latisse® produces an inflammatory reaction in the skin, which causes excessive pain and bleeding. If you use Latisse®, your eyeliner will not take properly.

  • Do not use other growth stimulants such as RapidLash®, or RevitaLash® for at least one week prior to or one week after your eyeliner procedure.

  • Lash extensions must be removed completely before your eyeliner procedure. If you have lash extensions, we will not be able to do your eyeliner. Lash extensions pose a danger to your eyes during the micropigmentation procedure.

Lips:

  • If you have any history of cold sores, fever blisters, or herpes simplex, you must contact your physician to obtain and take the proper prescription medication to prevent such outbreaks for at least 4 days before and after the procedure.

  • Many physicians prescribe 12 capsules of 500mg Valtrex. Follow your physician's instructions.

***Micropigmentation is a process. Two or three sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. It is not uncommon to lose up to 70% of the color after the first session. Please be aware that having a procedure done while on your menstrual cycle can make you hypersensitive at the procedure site. You will be given detailed after-care instructions at the time of your procedure.***
