BROWS, LIP & EYE LINER
It all starts with a well prepared Canvas
Permanent Eyeliner Pre-Care
Follow these instructions before your Permanent Eyeliner Service
Preparing your skin the right way assures your session will be complication free, that your skin will accept and retain pigment better, and it makes healing a breeze.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS CLOSELY IN THE WEEKS AND DAYS LEADING UP TO YOUR APPOINTMENT
- •Discontinue ALL LASH Growth Serums – they cause bleeding, bruising and increase the risk of serious complications. If you use Lash growth serums within 6 weeks, your appointment will be rescheduled at your expense.
- •NO STEROID USE within 4 weeks of your session-oral, injection or topical
- •Discontinue all retinol products, acne treatments, BHA/AHA serums, Hyaluronic Acid (check all your makeup, skincare and SPF products. Sometimes called “HA” or “sodium Hyaluronate”) and regenerative creams near the eye area. These products interfere with pigment implantation.
- •If your have a history of anemia, please make sure your blood iron is optimal
- •Begin applying a thin layer of aquaphor over your eyelids at night before bed.
- •If you are prone to styes, eye infections, or allergic reactions let us know.
- •Remove all lash extensions: failure to do so will result in cancellation.
- •No botox of filler
- •Do not consume blood thinners such as NSAIDS: ie: Naproxin, ASPRIN, ibuprofen. If you are using these medication by prescription, please consult with your physician first.
- •Avoid vitamins and green juicing
- •Discontinue Saunas and steam rooms
- •Do begin drinking plenty of water with electrolytes
- •Do avoid alcohol.
- •Avoid excessive caffeine and painkillers
- •Stay well hydrated—drink water
- •Avoid SPF, skin care and makeup to the brow area.
- •Get a full nights sleep and avoid stress where possible. The skin heals best when your body is rested.
Morning Of Appointment
- Please avoid caffeine
- Please arrive with a clean makeup free face—especially no eye makeup, mascara, eyeliner or lash glue residue
- Eat a light nourishing meal
- Avoid intense workouts and sauna
- Remove contact lenses before your session begins
Special Notes
- Please do not schedule eyeliner tattooing if you have had cancer treatments in the last 6 months or have an active cancer diagnosis unless cleared by your dr.
- If you have been a HEAVY lash serum user, you may need to discontinue lash serum use for up to 1 year before you can safely receive eyeliner tattooing. I advise people to do research on prolastaglandin, prolastaglandin analogues the active ingredient in popular lash growth serums and consider discontinuing lash growth serums with that ingredient permanently. Instead, Peptide-based serums or simple Castor oil are generally considered a safe alternative.
- Eyelids are the most technical and sensitive skin on the human body to tattoo. Failing to follow pre-care may increase risk and so it will lead to rescheduling at your expense.
- Tattoos are not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing medical treatments that affect the skin or immune system. (including but not limited to Accutane, chemotherapy, steroid use)
