After & Before Care

BEFORE CARE FOR NANOBLADING

2 WEEKS BEFORE:

* BOTOX: If you regularly get Botox or Dysport, it must be done at least 14 days prior to your appointment. It takes at least that long to settle in the skin. Receiving it withing 14 days of your appointment will result in being sent home and asked to reschedule.

* WAXING/THREADING: I recommend coming to your appointment with your brows grown out, no need to have them cleaned up before! I prefer to see how they grow naturally, and will clean them up for you at your appointment. If you need to clean them up beforehand, please do so at least 2 weeks before your appointment. If you tint your brows, please do so at least 7 days prior.

* RETIN-A: Please refrain from using any retin-a products in the brow area for 2 weeks leading up to your appointment.

24 HOURS BEFORE:

*No alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before procedure, these substances could make your skin more prone to bleeding, and bleeding doesn’t help the ink retention;
* Do not take any blood thinners such as Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen 24 hours before procedure;

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT:

* You may have caffeine in the morning as long as it doesn’t make you jittery or anxious.

* Avoid exercise. Exercising increases blood flow and will cause excessive bleeding, leading to poor healed results.

* Makeup: You are welcome to come to your appointment with or without makeup on. We will be taking lots of photos, so come however you are most comfortable. If you regularly fill in your brows, coming with at least your brows filled in helps me see your regular shape.

* Bring your brow makeup. If you have a specific product you love, bring it along!

* The studio can get chilly at times, so feel free to bring a jacket if you get cold.

* RELAX! Feeling nervous is normal. We are going to work together to create your dream brows! Take a deep breath and get excited!

AFTER CARE FOR NANOBLADING

Following the given aftercare is crucial to obtain the best results! All clients are expected to follow the following instructions exactly to get the best healed results! All products needed for your aftercare will be provided to you at your appointment.

– Keep your new brows dry until ALL flaking has stopped. This means keeping them dry in the shower, and avoiding sweating, saunas, and steam for the next 10-14 days. No working out until all flaking has finished.
– Cleanse morning and night for 7 days with the provided cleanser.
– Apply a thin layer of aftercare balm to the brows 2x a day for 7days.
– No makeup can go on or around the brows for 14 days. You may wear makeup around the brows, but leave at least one inch around them at all times to prevent infection.
– Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks. Please plan vacations and outings accordingly to avoid as much sun as possible.
– Do not touch, pick, rub, or scratch the brows. Do not pick the scabs or flakes as they come off, this will remove the pigment and lead to patchiness and scarring.
– No anti-aging or acne products on the brows ever (anything with Retinol, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, etc.)

BEFORE CARE FOR LIP BLUSH

*If you have EVER had cold sores or herpes of any kind you will need to take Acyclovir so you can prevent any break outs after the procedure.

*Scrub your lips every day for at least 7 days before the appointment. Just mix sugar and honey!

*Use a lip balm of your choice daily for at least 7 days before the appointment. We want your lips to be as moisturized as possible.

*We highly recommend taking L-Lysine supplements for at least one week prior to the appointment to help prevent any cold sores from happening. L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that supports the immune and lip health.
