What do I need to know/do to prepare for my appointment?

Do NOT DRINK ALCOHOL or CAFFEINE before the procedure (at least 24hrs for alcohol)
Do not exercise the day of your procedure ( this will open up the pores).
Do not take any medications that are blood thinners like Advil, Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E for 3 days prior to procedure
Do no to have a tan on your face at the time of your procedure (Recent sun exposure that has caused a burn will be very sensitive and painful. Wait at least 4 weeks after the burn to have the procedure done)
Do not wax or tweeze 3 days before your procedure
Do not use Retinol 30 days before your procedure and avoid using 30 days after the procedure
No Facial treatment, chemical peel, photo facial before or 4 weeks after your procedure
Do not get Botox treatment before or after 4 weeks
Growth Serum: discontinue 6 weeks prior to the procedure
Immediately following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined. Over the next 2 days it will appear even darker and thicker as scabs begin to form. You must let the scabs naturally flake off bit by bit. It will take up to 14 days for scabbing to be over
No water on the treated area at least 24 hours after the procedure
You may NOT get the area wet for too long or apply any kind of products (except aftercare ointment) for at least 10 days after. NO makeup on the areas the procedure was done on for at least 2 weeks
Avoid swimming, sauna, hot shower, spa, suntan and workout 2 weeks after the procedure
You may experience hypersensitivity and more pain around or during your menstrual cycle
Wash your hair in the morning as you will need to avoid getting your eyebrows wet for at least 24 hours after the procedure

What should I expect after my appointment?

Slight swelling and a little redness in the immediate area
Light bruising near eyebrow area
The tattooed area will be dark for the first several days
A scab on the pigmented surface. Over the next 3-14 days your scabs should flake off bit by bit. Some people scab in light flakes and some develop a thick scab. Everybody is different. DO NOT pick at the scabs and make sure you read through and follow the AFTERCARE INSTUCTIONS properly to obtain the best results. If the scabbing phase is not over by 14 days, please continue your Aftercare instructions until scabs are completely gone.
Pigments will become 40-60% lighter. After the scabbing phase is over, you will see that the color of your pigment appears foggy and muted in color because a layer of skin has grown over the pigment to seal it in. Over the next several weeks your skin will regenerate and the pigment color will come back to the skin. The complete healing process takes at least 6 weeks which is when the true orientation of the pigment will show. Full results will appear after your second session. This procedure is a two step process, be patient and trust the process.
