Brows Precare
Two Weeks Before Treatment:
Please refrain from tanning your face (tanning beds or the sun). If you MUST tan, get an spf 70 sunscreen stick & apply to brows before tanning, turn off face tanners (in tanning beds) AND put a towel over your face. A towel only filters out about 30% of the rays. Tanning before the treatment can cause the skin to bleed excessively, which causes poor color retention.
Seven Days Before Treatment:
Also refrain from Vitamins D , A, and E, fish oil or omegas for SEVEN DAYS prior to your visit. All of these make you bleed excessively. Excessive bleeding during the procedure will negatively affect the longevity of your semi-permanent make up results. In some cases the treatment will need to be prematurely stopped.
Two or Three Days Before Treatment:
Please GENTLY exfoliate brows. You can use plain sugar and water or any gentle or natural scrub and you may have at home. Please use a ‘physical’ exfoliant such a sugar or something with mild ‘grit’. No ‘chemical’ exfoliants such as any types of acids. Do this only ONCE 2-3 days prior, not each day.
24 Hours Before Treatment:
It is VERY IMPORTANT to refrain from all alcohol, aspirin, or aspirin products and any medication that would thin your blood.
Please refrain from Ibuprofen and Aleve for 24 HOURS PRIOR to your appointment. The only product for aches and pains that will not make you bleed excessively is Tylenol.
If you use nicotine, please try your best to refrain from using it 24 hrs before your appt time. The longer you can go without, the better.
Please avoid energy drinks and coffee/caffeine or any other STIMULANT for 24 hours prior to your appointment. Not only does excessive caffeine increase your chances of bleeding excessively, not having caffeine in your system will help you relax much more easily, as well as help to relax the facial muscles in the areas we will be working on.
