PRECARE & AFTERCARE
PRECARE - PERMANENT MAKEUP
BROWS
Do not consume caffeine or alcohol for 24 hours prior to your treatment.
Do not take Ibrouphen, Asprin or blood thinners for 72 hours prior to your treatment
Avoid using retinols, AHAs and chemical peels for at least 4 weeks prior to your treatment, to avoid extreme dryness
No waxing, threading or tweezing around the brow area for at least 1 week prior to your treatment.
No botox or injections around the brow area for at least 1 week prior to your treatment.
Avoid sunbeds for at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
The brow skin must be in good condition, we cannot work on red, inflamed and dry skin. This skin will be difficult to work on and will not retain the pigment.
Keep your skin hydrated and drink plenty of water.
LIPS
Do not consume caffeine or alcohol for 24 hours prior to your treatment.
Do not take Ibrouphen, Asprin or blood thinners for 72 hours prior to your treatment
No botox, fillers or injections around the lip area for at least 4 weeks prior to your treatment.
No waxing around the lips for 1 week prior to your treatment.
Keep lips well moisturised and exfoliation for 1 week prior to your treatment and drink plenty of water.
If you are prone to coldsores (herpes simplex) you must take preventative medication for 5 days pre and post treatment. PMU does not cause coldsores, however, the treatment is likely to arouse any virus lying dormant. You should consult with your pharmacist who is likely to recommend a course of Zovirax or Acyclovir.
EYELINER
Do not consume caffeine or alcohol for 24 hours prior to your treatment.
Do not take Ibrouphen, Asprin or blood thinners for 72 hours prior to your treatment
Remove your contact lenses prior to treatment. You can resume contact lense wear 24 hours post treatment.
Do not use lash growth stimulating products for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. These will increase blood flow to the area, resulting in bleeding and poor retention.
Keep eyes hydrated and drink plenty of water.
Lash extensions must be removed at least 1 week prior to treatment. These can be reapplies 2 weeks post treatment.

AFTERCARE - PERMANENT MAKEUP
Normal symptoms you may experience for 4 days following PMU:
Swelling, redness and tenderness
Itching, dry and flaking as the skin heals
DO’S - First 7-10 days
Clean the area once a day with a damp cotton pad and distilled water (or cooled boiled water), water wipes or micellar water
For brow and lip treatments apply a thin light layer of the healing balm I have given you using a clean cotton bud. Remember less is more!
For eyeliner treatments, rinse the eyes with saline solution, do not apply any balm
DONT's in the first 7-10 days or until completely peeled
Don't touch the area, and certainly don't pick off any flakes of colour. You will risk pulling out the pigment, healing unevenly and put yourself at risk of infection.
Don't apply any makeup on the area for 1 week.
Don't apply too much healing balm. Less is more!
Don't get the area wet, with exception of the cleaning protocol. If it does get wet, pat dry immediately.
Don't receive waxing, electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to the area for at least 2 weeks
Don't expose the area to direct sunlight, tanning treatments.
Avoid jacuzzis, saunas, saltwater, chlorinated swimming pools and direct shower spray for 2 weeks post treatment
Don't apply strong skincare over or close to the area, for example retinols for at least 2 weeks.
Do not apply lash extensions or any lash lifts for 2 weeks post eyeliner treatment.
The Healing Process
Your colour will be deeper and more sharply defined immediately after your treatment and will take around a week to settle down.
Day 1-3
The colour will appear darker
Day 3-7
You may feel itchy and flakes of colour will come away from the skin, this will come off in patches and is completely normal. Don't pull off the flakes, let them fall away naturally.
After 1 week
Once all of the flakes have come away, the pigment will appear lighter in colour.
Over the next 3-5weeks the pigment will return. There is likely to be some uneven spots of colour, this is to be expected and these will be adjusted for at your touch up appointment.
Long Term Advice
Use a good sunscreen, SPF 30 or 50, to prevent fading.
If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan please let your practitioner know. The pigments we use contain Iron Oxides, Titanium Dioxide and Carbon in the formulation.
Please inform the National Blood Service if you donate blood, as you may not be eligible to give blood for 4 months post application.
Permanent makeup is designed to fade over time, rebook your top up appointment 12-18 months after your initial appointment, to keep your makeup looking perfect.
