24-48 Hours BEFORE procedure, please be advise below

Refrain from all alcohol, aspirin, or aspirin products (blood thinners). These will make you bleed excessively. Excessive bleeding the procedure will negatively affect the longevity of your application. In some cases, the procedure will need to prematurely stop.

Refrain from Ibuprofen and Aleve. The only product for aches and pain that will not make you bleed is Tylenol.

Avoid energy drinks, coffee (any caffeinated beverage). Not having caffeine in your system will help you to relax much more easily.

Refrain from waxing, tweezing, or threading the area 3-5 days before treatment to reduce sensitivity.

Avoid any tanning, sun exposure, or recent chemical peels in the treatment area.

If you have any active skin irritations, infections, or cold sores, inform your technician and reschedule if necessary.

*For lips, exfoliate to rid dead skin for even application 2 days prior.

Keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24-48 hours; avoid touching or scratching.

Gently cleanse the area and apply aftercare products exactly as instructed.

Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and excessive heat (saunas, steam rooms) for at least 10 days.

Refrain from swimming, hot tubs, or excessive sweating for at least 10 days.

Do not pick or peel the treated area; slight scabbing or peeling is normal and part of healing.

Expect fading or softening of the pigment during healing—this is part of the process, and touch-up visits may be recommended.

Schedule a touch-up session if necessary for optimal results, typically 6-9 weeks after the initial treatment.
