This is a great time for you to consider your beauty goals and desired brow results!
It’s good to have an idea of the size, thickness, length, color and style that you want for your brows prior to our consultation session. Although we are here to guide and advice, YOU are the ultimate decision maker. Remember, it’s difficult to ensure a satisfactory result if you don’t have a general idea of what look you’re trying to achieve.
For maximized result, kindly follow these instructions:
- AVOID Botox in the treatment area for 4 weeks prior to the appointment. Botox takes about 2-4 weeks to settle, therefore, the microshading appointment should be scheduled at least 4 weeks after. Failure to do so may result in asymmetry once the Botox has fully settled.
- AVOID facials 2 weeks prior to the appointment and 2 weeks after the appointment. This includes harsh/strong facials such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser facials, etc. Strong facials will cause the skin to be sensitive prior to the appointment. Mild at-home facials such as sheet masks and mild clay masks are okay.
- AVOID strong skincare that contains retinol/retinoids, Vitamin A, AHAs, etc. on the forehead area 2 weeks prior to the appointment and 2 weeks after the appointment.
- AVOID excessive sun exposure a week before the appointment and until the healing process has completed. This includes sunbathing, tanning, etc.
- AVOID facial oils around the forehead area a week before the appointment. Excessive oils may result in poor healed results and extended appointment time.
- AVOID exercising the day of the appointment and minimize water intake 3 hours prior to the appointment. Exercising and large intakes of water can thin out your blood.
- If your skin is typically oily, it is best to exfoliate your face prior to the appointment with a gentle chemical or physical exfoliant. This promotes better healed results.
- STRICTLY AVOID blood thinners, such as caffeine, alcohol and blood thinning medication at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. This includes coffee, caffeinated tea, pre-work, alcoholic beverages, pain killers, and other blood thinning medication. Failure to do so will cause excessive bleeding during the procedure which will result in poor retention, poor healed results and possibly longer procedure times. Blood thinners can also heighten your sensitivity during the procedure and promote sensitivity and discomfort.
If you are on blood thinning medication due to health condition, please CONSULT with your doctor first. You SHOULD NOT stop any medication without your doctor’s approval.
