Pre/Post Care Information

There are important steps to take prior to your appointment as well as after. Pre-care is just as important as the after-care to ensure that you get the best healed results possible. Please see below for detailed information regarding pre and post care.

PRE-APPOINTMENT CARE REQUIREMENTS

  • NO alcohol 48 HOURS prior to your procedure.​

​

  • NO caffeine the morning of your procedure.​

​

  • NO Botox TWO WEEKS prior to your procedure.​

​

  • NO fillers FOUR WEEKS prior to your procedure.

​​

  • Avoid sun and tanning ONE WEEK prior to your procedure.

​​

  • Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen 24 HOURS prior to your procedure.

​​

  • Discontinue Glycolics, Chemical Peels and Retin-A FOUR WEEKS prior to your procedure. 

​​

  • Refrain from use of any Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) products close to the eyebrow area TWO WEEKS PRIOR to and TWO WEEKS AFTER your procedure. Check your moisturizer, facewash, BB or CC creams and makeup primers for anything that says acid.

​​

  • Discontinue use of Retinol products OR strong skin care products ONE MONTH prior to your procedure.

​​

  • No brow waxing or tinting ONE WEEK prior to your procedure.

​​

  • You must discontinue the use of any type of Accutane ONE YEAR prior to your procedure.

​​

  • No LATISSE (lash hair growing serum). Discontinue use at least THREE WEEKS prior to your appointment.

​​

*Please note, you are more sensitive to PMU procedures during your menstrual cycle.

AFTER-CARE REQUIREMENTS

  • Gently blot treated area with a clean and dry cotton round for the first 24 HOURS.​​

​

  • For the first FIVE DAYS following your appointment wipe the treated area with a damp cotton round. Discontinue this process after the fifth day or you will risk removing scabs prematurely which may affect color retention.​

​

  • If necessary, apply a rice size amount of ointment in the evening.​

​

  • Do not pick scabs; the scabbing process is to be expected and is a common part of the healing process.​

​

  • Avoid excessive sweating, long hot showers, swimming, or anything that may add moisture to the area for the first 14 days. ​

​

  • Do not apply makeup or additional products in the treated area until the scabs have healed.
