Eyebrows:
- do not plug or wax your eyebrows 1 week before the treatment.
​
Lips:
- Incase you have suffered from herpes in the past it is normal to have a possible break out after lip pigmentation this has nothing to do with hygiene but can be a reaction of the body. Therefore we would recommend you to get a cream (like Zovirax) before hand from your doctor/ pharmacy or to use a pill or cream as prevention before hand.
​
AFTER THE APPOINTMENT
(you will get more information after your appointment)
- Right after the treatment the color will appear much brighter. The final results will be visible after the treated area has fully healed which takes around 2 weeks and 6 weeks for the final color to show. You will loose around 40-60% of the color. Slight swelling or bruising a few hours after the treatment are normal.
- A few days after the treatment there will be a crust forming on top of the treated area DO NOT rub or pick at it since this could cause small scars which often cannot be fixed with a touch up.
- In case you would like to book a touch up appointment it is best to do it 6 weeks after your first appointment
- No Sauna, tanning beds or direct sun for at least 14 days after your appointment.
​
Eyebrows:
- Do not use any soap, cream or oil product on the brows until those are fully healed
- Do not scrub, rub or scratch the treated area
- After 48 hours use a cream like Eucerin Aquaphor in the morning and evening on the treated area.
​
Lips:
- Do not scrub, rub or scratch the treated area
- Try not to kiss too much until the crust comes off on its own, be especially careful with facial hair (beards)
