Getting Ready For Your Service

COVID-19 Guidelines:

Bring your mask. Only gloves in the facility are allowed to be used. Upon your arrival, you and/or your guest will be directed to wash and sanitize, and you will be asked to do the same before you leave.

If you’ve recently received your vaccinations, make sure you wait at least 30 days from your last vaccination to book your appointment. This is to avoid possible complications or reactions.

If you have a cold, flu, have symptoms of any illness, or are on antibiotics or steroids within the last 7 days before your appointment, please reschedule your appointment with proper notice to avoid putting your technician and others at risk.

You will have minor swelling and bruising after your procedure. It is normal for your lips to appear much brighter or darker immediately following the procedure. The color of your lips will lift and soften within three to six days. Your lips will need to be moisturized at all times for optimum healing results. Your lips will continue to heal over the next four to six weeks. The color will continue to soften, mature, and become the perfect shade you picked out.

After the procedure is done, you will be given instructions on how to care for the area. It’s recommended that you not use our lash extension service at the same time as your eyeliner application.

You may experience some swelling, redness, and tenderness of the skin after the procedure. It should fade away within 12 to 36 hours. The eyeliner will appear darker and thicker than your desired result but will soften during the healing process of three to five days. It is not recommended to apply mascara or any other eye makeup for at least one week. You should wait at least four to six weeks before scheduling a follow-up appointment to make any adjustments to color or design.

• Only soft contact lenses can be worn. Note that they will need to be removed before eyeliner application. It is also recommended that you bring additional glasses for seeing up close and for protection from sun exposure following the procedure.
• Do not tweeze, wax, have electrolysis, or get sunburned one week before treatment.
• Natural supplements that act as “blood thinners,” such as fish oils, Vitamin E, and ginseng, SHOULD NOT be taken for two weeks before treatment.
• Do not use aspirin or ibuprofen for two weeks before treatment. Use Tylenol if you need any pain relief.
• You should take vitamin C and calcium before your appointment to help heal. You shouldn’t take vitamin E though.
• If you are a Lip Procedure client with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), you MUST obtain a prescription for prophylactic antibiotics.
• If you’ve ever had fever blisters, you MUST be prescribed a prescription for Valtrex or Zovirax before your treatment starts.
• DO NOT take painkillers or tranquilizers before treatment. You CAN NOT drive after taking Benadryl.

Pre-procedure Instructions

• It’s a good idea to use a mild soap (for your skin type) and a non-oily moisturizer for several days before your procedure. Take your normal medications as needed. Eat well and drink plenty of water before your procedure.
• DO NOT use RETIN-A, facial peels, or any exfoliating products two weeks before your procedure.
• If you’re going to have an eyeliner procedure, make sure you have someone available to drive you home.
• It is recommended that you DO NOT have lash extensions at the time of eyeliner application.

The treated area may begin to itch and appear slightly thicker in texture before taking on a flaky, dry, and narrow appearance. You should not pick or scratch the flakes of dry skin off your face. Let the flakes fall off naturally, and don’t try to wash them, or force them off.

After the first color peel is done, the skin often takes on a dull, hazy, light, muted appearance. The color will eventually return after the healing is fully completed.

A tattoo moisturizer should be applied to dry skin only. Apply tattoo moisturizer several times during the day. However, only use it once at a time and only in very thin layers. You may need to apply it once a day, and you may need to apply it multiple times each day, or whenever your skin looks or feels tight and dry.

Suggested moisturizers after the procedure:

• Coconut Oil
• Shea Butter
• Avocado Oil
• Grapeseed Oil
• Jojoba Oil

Things To Avoid For Two Weeks After The Procedure:

Avoid any activity that will expose the treated area to direct sunlight. Avoid swimming. Skip the tanning bed. Avoid any activity that will cause you to sweat heavily. Avoid facials, steam, saunas, and long hot showers. Do not use Retin A, Glycolic, Salicylic acid, or any chemical on the eye or eyebrow area. Do not put on makeup over the treated area. Never tint, wax, tweeze, or thread your eyebrows.
