Pre Procedure
Set The Tone for Beautiful Artistry by Following These 10 Commandments
🍃Don't schedule any other important event the day of your procedure.
🍃Wear comfortable clothes.
🍃Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to your procedure.
🍃Avoid blood thinning medication or supplements.
🍃 Be Punctual.
🍃Take Benadryl upon arrival. (The purpose is to slow down the swelling process and reduce tears. This will allow us to work longer and without diluted pigment caused by tears. It should also help you feel more relaxed.)
💤 Anti-anxiety prescription medicine is required for all EYELINER procedures. Please request it from your doctor in advance. Bring a driver.
💋 Preventative medication such as Valtrex is required for lip color procedures if you've ever had a cold sore or fever blisters. Please request it from your doctor in advance.
🍃We encourage you to ask any questions you may have until you feel comfortable during consultation, PRIOR to the procedure.
📵 Silence your cell phone.
🍃Close your eyes, unwind, and relax. Avoid conversation once we get started.

12 Things To Expect
Swelling, redness, bruising and itching is normal and to be expected. Don't rub!
Outer healing (epidermis) usually completes in about 7 – 10 days. Inner healing (dermis) usually completes in about 4 – 6 weeks.
Touch ups may be scheduled at least a month after a procedure, not sooner. Performing a touch up prematurely could cause scarring and the healing process could interfere with pigment retention.
Some colors can take up to 2 months to settle in and show true results. Brows oxidize and appear darker during healing before the color softens and settles down.
All scabs are dark. They begin to flake off naturally between days 4 – 7 and a light color will appear underneath. This new skin has a white, waxy texture at first, but will eventually mature and become more translucent. Expect the color to be foggy and uneven until the healing process is complete (6 – 8 weeks).
Lighter and/or darker colors may be applied in layers of hair-strokes or shading techniques to achieve the desired results and dimension.
All designs can be enhanced during future appointments with add on colors, strokes, tweaks and fine tuning.
Additional sessions may be necessary until you reach your desired goal.
While your procedure is healing, sun exposure could cause undesirable results because wounds exposed to the sun produce an excess amount of natural melanin.
Always remember that sun exposure, anti aging products and treatments containing acids, lighteners, and exfoliates cause premature fading of pigments. Avoid the pigmented area.
Remind your laser operator to protect your cosmetic tattoo.
