Hello beautiful! Here is a preview of part of your paperwork you’ll have to read through, fill out and sign before each appointment. I want to give you the opportunity to look them over and make sure you’re in the best health to get any permanent makeup service done by me. Your health is my number one priority. When in doubt, please check with your doctor to see if there’s anything that they would be concerned about. If you are currently dealing with any of the things listed below (or other things that could possibly disallow you from getting your brows, eyes and/or lips done) I will require a doctor’s note explaining and signing off that you are able to get microbladed/tattooed on the face.

​

Before your appointment, please be sure to avoid blood thinners, alcohol, ibuprofen, and any other pain relievers 24-48 hours before your appointment. Caffeine the day of the procedure may increase discomfort levels and blood flow. It is also advised to avoid heavy exercise 24 hours prior and 10-14 days following your procedure. Those on their menstrual cycle will experience greater sensitivity. No tanning for 72 hours before your appointment. Finally, get ahead on your dirty work before your appointment – no dusting, lawn mowing, changing the cat litter or any chores that will get dirt/bacteria on the healing area.

​

Restrictions – You may or may not require a visit to and clearance from your doctor if some of the following restrictions apply to you:

• Diagnosed with immune disorders and/or taking immunosuppression medication

• Narcolepsy or Tourette syndrome 

• Taking blood thinning medication

• Retinol/Retin-A must be discontinued 1 month by or around the area of micropigmentation prior to procedure. (It will cause the skin to bleed.)

• Injections (Botox, JuvaDerm, Voluma, etc.) must be done 2-3 weeks before or after procedure.

• Chemical peels, laser treatments and microneedling may not be done within 60 days before or after procedure.

• The use of lash growth serums (such as Latisse®, Babe Lash®, etc.) 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).

• The use of lip plumpers (such as Too Faced® Lip Injections, Grande Lips®, etc.).

• The use of brow growth serum (such as Grande Brow®) must be discontinued for at least 2 months.

• Sunburned or suntanned skin is damaged skin and therefore will cause excessive bleeding. (I CANNOT work on sunburned or regularly suntanned skin.)

• You cannot expose the area to the sun for 30 days before or after procedure.

• Avoid alcohol and caffeine 1 day before procedure to minimize any oozing, bleeding or swelling.

• Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen 3 days prior to procedure unless medically necessary.
