Permanent Makeup (Brows · Lips · Eyeliner)
Careful preparation and gentle aftercare are the difference between good results and beautiful, long-lasting ones. Please read these before your appointment.
Before your appointment
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment, and — with your doctor's approval — aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil too, as they thin the blood and affect pigment retention.
- Avoid retinol, AHAs, and exfoliating treatments on the area for at least 7 days prior.
- No Botox or filler in the treatment area within 2 weeks before your appointment.
- No sunburn, active blemishes, or irritated skin in the treatment area on the day of your procedure.
- For lip blush: if you have any history of cold sores, begin an antiviral (prescribed by your doctor) 2 days before your appointment.
- Arrive with the treatment area clean and makeup-free if possible.
- Eat a normal meal before you arrive — it helps comfort and steadiness.
After your appointment
- Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours; gently blot with sterile gauze if lymph appears.
- Apply the provided aftercare balm sparingly as instructed — a little is enough.
- No makeup, sweat-heavy workouts, saunas, pools, or hot yoga for 10–14 days.
- Do not pick, scratch, or rub flaking skin — let it shed naturally to protect the pigment.
- Avoid direct sun exposure during healing; once healed, SPF is your pigment's best friend.
- Sleep slightly elevated and on your back for the first few nights if possible.
- Expect the colour to look darker for the first week, then soften — final healed colour settles by 4–6 weeks.
- Questions during healing? Message the studio anytime — you're never on your own.
