Permanent Makeup Pre-Care Instructions
Getting ready for your permanent makeup appointment? A little preparation can make a big difference!
Whether you’re coming in for brows, lip blush, or eyeliner, these simple pre-care instructions will help you prepare for your visit and support the best possible results.
Before Your Appointment
-
Plan Ahead: Mild redness or swelling is normal after permanent makeup. Try to avoid scheduling important events immediately after your appointment.
-
Skincare: Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinol, and irritating skincare treatments near the treatment area before your visit. Follow any specific instructions Rita provides.
-
Sun Exposure: Avoid tanning and sunburn before your appointment. Your skin should be free of sunburn and irritation.
-
Medications: Let Rita know about any medications you’re taking, especially blood thinners. Never stop prescribed medications without your doctor’s approval.
-
Alcohol & Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment.
-
Exercise: Avoid intense workouts immediately before your appointment and plan to take a break from heavy sweating afterward, as instructed.
-
Makeup: Feel free to wear your usual brow, lip, or eyeliner makeup so Rita can see the style you love.
-
Health Conditions: Tell Rita about any recent medical treatments, skin conditions, or health concerns that might affect your procedure.
Before Your Brow Appointment
-
Waxing & Tinting: Avoid waxing or tinting your eyebrows for at least 7 days before your appointment.
-
Laser Treatments: Avoid IPL or laser hair removal around your eyebrows for at least 2 weeks before your procedure.
-
Botox: If you’re planning Botox around your forehead or eyebrows, schedule it at least 2 weeks before your permanent makeup appointment.
A Little Tip from Rita: Let your natural brows grow before your appointment! I’ll shape and design them to complement your face.
Before Your Lip Blush Appointment
-
Cold Sores: If you’ve ever had a cold sore, please let me know before your appointment. Lip blush can trigger an outbreak, so your doctor may recommend preventive antiviral medication.
-
Lip Fillers: If you’ve recently had lip fillers or are planning to get them, let me know. We’ll make sure there’s enough time between treatments.
-
Keep Your Lips Hydrated: Moisturize your lips regularly in the days leading up to your appointment.
-
Avoid Irritation: Skip lip scrubs, harsh exfoliants, and irritating lip products before your visit.
-
Healthy Lips: If your lips are cracked, sunburned, or have an active cold sore, please contact me. We may need to reschedule.
A Little Tip from Rita: Bring your favorite lipstick or a photo of a lip color you love! It’ll help us find the perfect shade for you.
Before Your Eyeliner Appointment
-
Contact Lenses: Please remove your contact lenses before your appointment and bring your glasses.
-
Eye Health: If you have dry eyes, sensitive eyes, irritation, or an eye infection, let me know before your appointment. We may need to reschedule until your eyes are healthy.
-
Lash Extensions: Please have your eyelash extensions removed before your eyeliner procedure.
-
Lash Serums: Let me know if you’re using an eyelash growth serum. Some products may need to be paused before treatment.
-
Plan Ahead: Your eyelids may be swollen or sensitive afterward. Arrange a ride home if needed, especially if your vision feels uncomfortable.
A Little Tip from Rita: Come with clean eyes and no mascara or eyeliner. I’ll take care of the rest!
