Important things to know about

Permanent Make-Up

Prior to Permanent Makeup (PMU) services, it is important to follow guidelines to ensure the best results and minimize any potential risk.

• Avoid chemical peels or microdermabrasion for four weeks prior to service and avoid two weeks after service.
• NO anti-aging products or skin thinners, such as AHA, BHA, vitamin A, glycolic acids, exfoliates, etc. on or around the area for two weeks prior, as well as, two weeks after service.
• NO Botox or fillers two weeks prior, as well as, two weeks after.
• ​Avoid alcohol and caffeine the day of the appointment.
• Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin, and blood thinners 48 hours before service, this will cause excess bleeding and may affect your results.
• If antibiotics are prescribed at time of service, then client must reschedule due to rejection of the pigment.
• Must not be breast feeding. It is recommended to wait eight weeks to allow time for hormonal rebalance.
• No tattooing over blemish, sores, moles or sunburn on or around the area.

Aftercare is crucial for proper healing and color retention following PMU services. It is important to follow aftercare for the full 10 day healing period to ensure the best results. Keep in mind that individual results may vary, and there is no guarantee of specific outcomes.

​

• Gently massage the treatment area using your clean fingertips with provided cleanser in the morning and at night for 7 - 10, or until the flaking has stopped. This will help promote proper healing and ensure the best results from your permanent makeup.
• Blot completely dry with a clean soft towel after washing. Allow no water to collect or sit on treatment area.
• Apply a sprinkle amount of provided ointment to treatment area morning and night after washing. Apply using clean finger tips. Do not use q-tips.
• For oil skin types, it may be recommended to avoid using ointment altogether and allow for a seven-to-ten-day dry healing process. This approach can help prevent excessive oil build up and promote proper healing of the PMU.

• Immediately after your procedure, your PMU may appear darker and more defined, lasting up to 7 - 10 days. During this time, the tattoo may seem more solid or appear to have disappeared. However, it is important to note that the full healing process takes 30 - 40 days for the final results to be fully visible.
• Around 3 - 5 days after the service you will experience flaking and the PMU will appear to look like a dry desert. DO NOT PICK! Let any dryness fall off naturally. Picking at the PMU area could lead to premature pigment loss or scarring. It is important to avoid touching or picking at the treated area to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results.
• After the flaking comes off, the treated area of the PMU may appear faint because a fresh layer of skin has healed over the new tattoo. Over the next few weeks, the color will continue to change on a daily basis until the healing process is complete at around four weeks. It is important to be patient during this time as the final results will gradually become more apparent.
• Client may experience itchiness due to healing process of the dermal layer. Do not itch, try to pat instead.
• DO NOT WEAR ANY MAKE-UP ON OR AROUND THE PMU TREATMENT AREA!!! It is important to avoid applying makeup to the treated area as there is no proper way to clean makeup off without potentially ruining the treatment area and affecting the healing process.
