• Multiple treatment sessions are typically required for permanent makeup procedures. Clients will need to return for at least one finishing session, usually 5-7 weeks after the initial procedure. Additional touch-ups may be necessary for those with oily skin. Please note that immediately after the procedure, the color will appear significantly darker and sharper, but it will gradually reduce by 30-50%.

• Although numbing cream or solution is used, clients may still experience sensitivity or discomfort during the procedure. It is normal for the skin to appear red, bruised, and/or swollen afterward.

• Refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior to the treatment.

• Unless medically necessary, avoid taking blood-thinning substances such as fish oils, herbals, Vitamin E, aspirin, ibuprofen, and do not donate plasma within 7 days before the procedure.

• If possible, avoid consuming certain herbs and spices before the appointment, including black pepper, cardamom, ginger, cayenne, cinnamon, garlic, horseradish, and mustard.

• A patch test can be conducted unless the client chooses to waive it. It is the client's responsibility to schedule the patch test at least one week prior to the procedure.

• ALL lip blush clients MUST take an anti-viral medication for coldsores the morning of their lip blush procedure and another dose at night. I will refuse service if this is not followed.

• Discontinue the use of brow- or lash-growth serums such as Latisse or RevitaLash before the procedure, as they can lead to sensitivity and affect pigment retention.

• Avoid Botox, AHA products, and retinoids for two weeks prior to the procedure.

• Hormone therapies can affect pigmentation and may cause sensitivity.
