Permanent Makeup Procedures:
Prior to your appointment
- Retinol//Retin-A must be discontinued 7 days prior to procedure-excessive bleeding.
- Injections/Facial & Lip Fillers (Botox,Voluma, etc.) must be done at least 4 weeks before/4weeks after the procedure.
- Chemical peels/lasers may not be done within 60 days before or after the procedure.
- The use of Latisse® must be discontinued at least 3 months prior to your eyeliner procedure (it creates an inflammatory response, causes excess bleeding, and prohibits the eyeliner from healing well).
- Sunburned/Tanned skin is damaged skin and therefore will cause excessive bleeding.

- Do not schedule this procedure within one week prior to a water vacation.

All Permanent Makeup is a multi-step process:
Your initial permanent makeup application is incomplete until the follow-up appointment, which is approximately 8 weeks after your initial appointment, but not more than 10 weeks. At this time, color, shape, technique etc are examined and adjustments are made depending on your individual retention rate. Results will vary depending on many lifestyle choices such as tanning, skincare, sleep patterns, makeup use, skin type, etc. . Color boosts are suggested every 1-3 years depending on lifestyle.

Lift saline permanent makeup and tattoo removal :
1.KEEP AREA CLEAN and open to the air. Do not cover with a Band-Aid and do not touch the area unless you just washed your hands.

ONCE ALL SCABBING FALLS OFF apply one drop of Vitamin E Oil 3 to 4 times a day throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks. DO NOT start applying the Vitamin E Oil until all scabs have naturally fallen off.
