Other Important Information -
Double Check
Schedule accordingly to accommodate the ability to stop any below activities! These things will affect how long the pigment stays in the skin as well as how much bleeding will occur during procedure.
Have you had a chemical or laser peels 6 weeks prior to service? Have you had Retin-A, Retinol and Alpha Hydroxy Acids? Have you received fat, collagen or Botox injections 2-3 weeks prior to service? Taken fish oil 2 weeks before service? You should not have had any infections or have been on any antibiotics 1 week prior to service.
Do not wax or tweeze hair in brow area a week before appointment.
Cold sores
If you have a history of cold sores you'll need to start taking a prescription anti-viral (Valacyclovir, Denavir (penciclovir), acyclovir (Zovirax) or Valtrex), at least ONE week BEFORE your proposed procedure. Cold sore outbreaks are often triggered by stress or trauma to the lips or skin. Therefore, if you are a carrier, a PMU procedure will likely cause an outbreak if you do not take anti-viral medication prior to the treatment. A cold sore outbreak will affect your healing process and the results of the procedure and can even lead to scarring. To ensure the best possible results for clients, we require clients not skip this step. As such, if you have a history of cold sores and do not follow these instructions, Your appointment WILL be canceled and a cancellation fee assessed when applicable.
Other relevant conditions:
The following conditions do not prohibit you from getting permanent make-up, but should be considered when deciding if a procedure is right for you. If you experience any of the conditions listed below, by scheduling you except the possible outcomes described:
Cirrhosis of the Liver: Susceptible to infection
Scar tissue: Scars can be tattooed over. However, scar tissue may hinder proper healing or prevent pigment from taking to the skin. This is more likely if you've received a microblading or permanent makeup procedure in the past.
Platelet Disorders - Can cause more bleeding to occur, lowering pigment retention.
Moles/raised areas in or around the treatment area: Pigment will not be put into moles or anything raised but you can tattooed around them.
Thyroid medications: pigment may fade faster and require more frequent or additional touch-ups.
Auto Immune Disorder of any kind (MS, RA, Lupus, etc.): Due to the effects of the medication used to treat these disorders, pigment is not retained as well.
Anemia: Requires additional touch-ups.
Tanning: May alter pigment color over time
