Before your Appointment
PREPARE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
-
Must stop using AHAs and Retin-A, Glycolic Acid near the tattooed area a week prior
-
Botox must be administered at least 2 weeks prior
-
Avoid alcohol, aspirin/ibuprofen, and any vitamins that may thin your blood 72 hours before your appointment. Doing so may cause bleeding, which will affect pigment retention
-
Feel free to come in with makeup on your brows or bring pictures for reference
-
I recommend showering before your appointment so you will not need to immediately following your appointment. Getting your brows wet can also affect pigment retention.
