  • Any waxing, tinting or eyelash perming should be done 48 hours prior to your treatment.
  • The week prior to your appointment please apply your Lip Balm or a moisturiser to the area on a daily basis.
  • For brows: Please wax/thread/ pluck any stray hairs 48 hrs before your appointment.
  • For eyeliner: Eyelash extensions must be removed at least 4 weeks before. If you wear contact lenses please just wear your glasses to your appointment. Do not use any growth serums for a minimum of 12 weeks prior to your appointment.
  • For lips: If you have are prone to cold sores it is likely you will have an outbreak. We strongly recommend taking Aciclovir or L-Lysine tablets 5 days before and 5 days after your treatment. Please exfoliate and moisturise your lips for 5 days leading up to your appointment. You can use a gentle salt/sugar scrub and lip balm.

  • Ensure you allow plenty of time for your appointment.

post treatment

  • Aftercare is key to the healing of your permanent makeup and must be strictly followed. If you pick at them you will loose colour and will be liable to pay for additional retouches (yes we can tell!)
  • You may notice whiteness or blanching around the area, this is normal and will subside within a few hours.
  • You may get some swelling, this is normal and should subside within 2 days.
  • In some cases there may be slight bruising. This should last no longer than 1 week.
  • Remember your colour will be darker and more prominent for 5-7 days on average.
  • Avoid any sauna/swimming/heavy exercise until the area has completely healed.
  • For this first 6 hours post treatment, keep the area completely clean and dry and blot the area frequently. Do not apply anything. * this does not apply to lips
  •  
  • EYEBROWS: Blot brows frequently with clean kitchen roll following the prcedure. After the first 6 hours, gently wipe the area clean with a damp tissue. Pat dry and apply a small layer of your aftercare with a clean cotton bud. Repeat 2-3 times a day until the area has healed.
  • EYELINER: After the first 6 hours, gently clean the area. (If the eye feels a little puffy you can apply a cold compress) Follow with aftercare using a clean cotton bud. Repeat twice a day until the area has healed. Avoid eye makeup until the area has completely healed. Use an unopened mascara following any eyeliner treatment. Lash extensions should not be worn for a minimum of 4 weeks.
  • LIPS: You can apply your aftercare immediately post procedure & throughout the day as needed. Gently clean the area prior to applying the balm. Apply before eating and drinking. Avoid any makeup until the area has fully healed.
  • DO NOT PICK OR PULL AT THE AREA – IT CAN RESULT IN INFECTION OR PIGMENT LOSS.
  • As soon as your procedure is finished your body will start to heal. The skin will close and you may see a thin crust which will protect the area whilst the skin heals. After a few days the crust if visible will start to come away revealing the pigment. You will initially see a lighter hue of implanted colour. This will change and settle over the next 4-6 weeks. In some cases a true healed colour can not be seen for up to 3 months.

Please note in most cases, THIS IS A TWO STAGE PROCEDURE. Your procedure is not deemed complete until you have had both treatments or we have assessed the results. Your second visit should follow within 6-12 weeks. Any treatments after this time will be charged as a colour boost.
