Pre-Care Instructions
Be prepared for the color intensity of your procedure to be significantly larger, sharper, brighter or darker than what is expected for the final outcome. It will take time for the transition, based on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates. Since delicate skin or sensitive areas may swell slightly or redden, some clients feel it best not to make any social plans for a day or two following any procedure.
While the injected tones may initially simulate the exact color and tone desired, it will not always remain a perfect match. Injected tones are constant, while your own skin tones will vary depending on exposure to cold, heat, sun, and circulatory changes.
Wear your normal makeup and bring your lip or brow pencils to the office on the day of the procedure.
NOTE: AII permanent cosmetic procedures are multi-session processes. You are required to come back for at least one perfecting visit before it can be determined that your work is complete. Perfecting and touch-up visits are scheduled from four to eight weeks after the initial procedure.
**IMPORTANT REQUIRMENT FOR LIP PROCEDURES**
If you have any history of cold sores/fever blisters/herpes simplex, (ever in your life) you will be required to contact your physician to obtain the proper prescription medication prior to the procedure, to prevent such outbreaks. Many physicians prescribe certain medication that you should start two days before micro-pigmentation and continue for four days after or as your physician prescribes. Remember that you will need enough for at least two separate appointments.
Before Having Your Procedure Done Be Aware:
• Avoid caffeine 12 hrs prior to the service.
