Pre & Post Treatment Care Instructions

How to Prepare for your Procedure

Following these guidelines will ensure that you have the best result from your permanent makeup procedure. 

What Not to Do:

• Don’t drink any caffeine or have sugar the morning of your procedure as this makes your nerve endings more sensitive and prevents you from numbing as well.

• Do not take any ibuprofen, fish oil, or aspirin for 10 days before you come as these products thin out your blood, which will make you bleed.  Permanent makeup is not supposed to bleed. If you bleed, your eyes or lips swell and can cause bruising. Bleeding also pushes the ink out so it doesn’t stay in as well.

What To Do:

• Take allergy medication, like Claritin, the night before and two more times on the day of your appointment. It helps your eyes not to water and your sinuses will feel more normal.

• Take vitamin K, alfalfa pills (Amazon), iron, or prunes for 7 days before you come as this helps you to not bleed or swell and the color will stay in better.  When you do the alfalfa pills, I recommend four in the morning and four at night. I think the vitamin K works the best
