PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT. NOT ADHERING TO THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY IMPACT YOUR HEALED RESULTS.
Dos and Don’ts:
- It is recommended to eat something before your appointment to make sure your blood sugar levels stay stable during the procedure.
- No excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption 24 hours before your procedure. Alcohol and caffeine can thin the blood, which causes the skin to be hypersensitive, and bleed/bruise more easily.
- Avoid sun tanning one week prior to the procedure.
- Avoid blood thinning medications for 24 hours before the procedure. This includes Aspirin, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen, fish oils tablets. Please consult your physician if this is an issue.
- Eyelash extensions should be removed 3 days prior to the procedure.
- No eyelash perm and/or tinting at least 3 days prior.
- Discontinue Retin-A one week prior to the procedure.
- No Botox around the eye area 2 weeks prior.
- Eyelash growth serums like Latisse bring extra circulation to the lash line area which results in more growth of hair/lashes. This can cause the skin to be hypersensitive and bleed easily. It is recommended to discontinue the use of these products at least 3-6 months before your treatment.
- Do not wear any eye makeup on the day of your appointment.
- If you wear contact lenses, please wear glasses on the day of your appointment.
- Please Note: You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.
Things to Consider:
- Color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper following the procedure. This will reduce by 30-50%.
- Although numbing cream and ointment are used before and during the procedure, slight sensitivity/discomfort can still be felt by sensitive clients.
- delicate or sensitive skin may be red and/or swollen following the procedure.
Topical Anesthetic Information
Allergic reaction:
Allergic reaction can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure. If you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your physician immediately. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include: redness, swelling, dryness, rash, blistering, extreme discomfort. etc.
Numbness:
We cannot accept responsibility if the area to be treated does not respond to numbing cream. Each individual is different according to many factors, including skin type. Some clients report the area to be completely numb, while others may experience some level of discomfort.
Procedure
During the procedure, a numbing gel/cream is used. The products are formulated to be perfectly safe and can be purchased over the counter from any pharmacy/chemist. The anesthetic is place over the area to be treated for 25-30 minutes, then carefully removed prior to treatment. As a result of the treatment, combined with the use of the anesthetic, clients can expect to experience some redness/swelling that can last from 1-4 days. You should always follow your post procedure/aftercare advice for the best results.
