        It's all in the prep! An amazing painting starts with a quality canvas. Microblading & Permanent Make-up are beautiful techniques but sensitive to many factors and not just to how Aftercare is followed. You will get much better results when you prepare your skin properly. The eyebrows, eyes and lips area must be healthy, intact, non-sensitive and non-irritated.

​

         Here’s what you can do to get ready for the procedure:

• Do not exercise the day of the procedure

• Do not tint your eyebrows 5 days before the procedure

• Do not pick/tweeze/wax/have electrolysis one week before procedure 

• Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior (natural blood thinners)

• Do not tan 2 weeks prior or come with sunburned skin

• Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment

• Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol skin care products 4 weeks prior 

• Do not have Botox/Fillers 3 weeks prior to treatment

​

        To avoid excessive bleeding and poor color retention:

• Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your procedure

• Do not consume coffee 3 hours before your procedure

• Do not take Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief  (blood thinners)

​

       Specifically for Lips & Eyes:

• If you have ever had or constantly have cold sores or mouth ulcers, inform the technician before booking a permanent micropigmentation treatment. It is recommended you take medication to prevent having a breakout.

• Keep your lips moisturised and do not pick if they are dry.

• If you plan on having Eyeliner or Lash Line done, you should remove your individual lash extensions (false lashes) 2 weeks before and make sure your eyelids are cleaned and moisturised every day.    

• If you wear contact lenses, please remove them before the procedure.

​

       When deciding to book a treatment date you should consider allowing time for the healing period. In the  first 5-7 days, depending on which treatment you choose, there will be slight redness, swelling, flaking (peeling) and other healing effects so take all these elements into account when planning ahead. Read more about what to expect after the procedure here.

​​

        After booking your treatment you will receive Consent & Medical History forms together with a Sensitivity Patch Test to check for any skin allergic reactions and side effects. The Sensitivity Patch Test should be done latest 5 days prior to undertaking the treatment.
