• Avoid caffeine/alcohol and use of blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, Niacin, etc.) 24+ hours prior

• Discontinue use of skin care with exfoliants/acids (AHA/BHA, glycolic, Retin-A, etc.) 2 weeks prior

• Avoid sun tanning 30 days prior/after your appointment. Always use sunscreen. Coming to your appointment with a tan will result in being sent home and rescheduling.

• Botox/Filler should be done 2 weeks prior

• Brow Waxing and shaping 72 hours

• Brow tinting 7 days

• I recommend coming to your appointment with your brows grown out. That way I can see how they grow naturally!

• Avoid exercise. Elevated heart rates results in excess oil production and increases blood flow leading to poor healed results. Sweat is essentially salt water which dissolves pigment.

• If you regularly fill in your brows come to your appointment with them filled in. This give me an idea of what you’re used to. But not totally necessary!

• Makeup is optional!! We will be taking a lot of photos, come however you are most comfortable

• Very Important! One hour after your procedure, you must wipe away the barrier cream and lymph using a clean, lightly dampened cotton pad or tissue. Gently pat dry and reapply a very thin layer of fresh barrier cream. Do this every 2-3 hours for the rest of the day, then 4 times per day for the following 3 days. Dry heal thereafter, but continue to keep area clean.

• Lightly wash the procedure area once per day for the first 7 days using a fragrance free, dye free, non-exfoliating, non-acid type facial cleanser and your clean fingertips in a gentle, circular motion for 5 seconds, rinse with cool water, then pat dry with a tissue.

• DO NOT scratch, rub or pick at the procedure area at all during the healing process!!!

• DO NOT oversaturate or submerge brows in water for 7 days. Avoid hot showers, swimming, saunas, lakes, pools, or any other bodies of water for at least 10 days.

• DO NOT perform any exercises or tasks that cause perspiration for 7 days. Elevated heart rates results in excess oil production and increases blood flow leading to poor healed results!

• DO NOT tint, thread, or wax the area, receive Botox or other facial injectables, or receive a professional facial or other skin care treatment for at least 14 days.

• DO NOT use any type of exfoliating products on the brow area EVER, including Retin-A, Alpha-Hydroxy or Glycolic Acids, Anti-Aging creams/serums, scrubs, chemical peels.

• Avoid sun exposure for 7 days. Then, always protect with SPF 30 to prevent premature fading.

• DO NOT apply makeup, face creams, ointments, balms, or any other products to the area for at least 7 days.

• Your brows will go through a series of changes over the next few weeks. This is the nature of the healing process. They may appear too dark at first, then they may get very light, and finally the color and definition should return in the 4th week.

• A Perfection Session should be scheduled 6-8 weeks after the initial procedure, at which time we will address and attempt to correct any healing issues or imperfections. Schedule this appointment ASAP to ensure that you get an appointment in the 6-8 week time frame.
