What to do before your appointment

The following tips are critical to your appointment taking place and successful results.

  • PLEASE SHOWER THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT AS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE TREATED AREA WET OR SOAKED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS FOLLOWING YOUR PROCEDURE.

    DO NOT WORK OUT THE DAY OF YOUR PROCEDURE

  • Alcohol, caffeinated food or beverage (yes, there is caffeine in decaf coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.), supplements, vitamin-e, stimulants, anti-inflammatory/steroid meds and/or any other medications that act as blood-thinners MUST be avoided 48 hours prior to your appointment. Tylenol is OK.

    If you are on blood thinning medication for previous or current conditions, please let us know immediately and kindly consult your physician regarding the best course of action prior to re-booking your appointment. The above mentioned can cause excessive bleeding during the tattooing procedure and will reduce the amount of pigment implantation & retention, can potentially alter your pigment colour and risk poor & delayed healing which can also risk scarring.

    Discontinue Retin-A, Retinol, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) at least 6 weeks prior. We strongly recommend consulting a professional (dermatologist) to assess the condition of your skin prior to your appointment.

    Discontinue hair growth serums 6 weeks prior to your appointment. We strongly recommend consulting a professional (dermatologist) to assess the condition of your skin prior to your appointment.

    Do not tweeze, wax, laser, electrolysis or any other hair removal in the bulk of the brow 1 week prior to your appointment.

    Do not tint or henna your brows 6 weeks prior to your appointment.

    Avoid heavy sunlight, tanning and sunburnt skin 2 weeks prior to your appointment as your skin should not be healing from the above prior to your appointment.

    Avoid any type of facials, chemical peels, derma-planing, microdermabrasion, micro needling, etc, 4 weeks prior to your appointment.

    Avoid any Botox anywhere around the treatment area 2-4 weeks prior to your appointment as it can alter the end results of your procedure. It is best to have the face at rest for your initial appointment to get the best results.
