PERMANENT MAKEUP PRE-CARE GUIDE

Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best results for your procedure.

2 Months Before Your Appointment

• Botox or cosmetic surgery in the treatment area: allow at least two months for full healing before your PMU procedure.

4 Weeks Before Your Appointment

• Discontinue glycolics, Retin-A, Retinol, or any strong chemical exfoliants in the treatment area.

• Avoid facials, chemical peels, or other invasive skincare treatments near the brow/lip area.

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds to prevent skin sensitivity and pigment fading.

• Do not do brow lamination or tinting during this time.

1 Week Before Your Appointment

• Eyebrows: Avoid waxing, threading, or over-plucking. The more natural hair you have, the better the results.

• Exfoliation: If using exfoliating products at home, gently prepare the treatment area for optimal pigment retention.

• Lips:

  • Stay hydrated and keep lips moisturized.

  • Avoid harsh exfoliation.

  • Antiviral medication is always recommended (such as lysine) to help prevent cold sores. If you are prone to cold sores, it is especially important to take an antiviral prescribed by your doctor prior to your procedure

  • Eyeliner: Remove any eyelash extensions prior to your appointment.

48–72 Hours Before Your Appointment

• Avoid blood thinners: Aspirin, Fish Oil, Niacin, Vitamin E, Ibuprofen (Tylenol is allowed).

• Avoid alcohol within 24 hours before your appointment — it can increase bleeding and swelling.

• Avoid strenuous workouts 24 hours prior to minimize swelling and ensure pigment retention.

Day of Appointment

• Makeup is okay, it is recommended you come in with your usual filled in brows so snap can be used for reference.

• Please notify Leticia, if there are open wounds, acne, bruises, or other skin irritations in the treatment area.

• Contact the studio immediately if rescheduling is necessary due to any of the above.

General Notes

• Most PMU procedures require a follow-up session 6–10 weeks after the initial application for perfecting results.

• Expect the pigment to appear darker and sharper immediately after the procedure; it will soften as the skin heals (usually within 10–14 days).

AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE / CUIDADOS DESPUÉS DEL PROCEDIMIENTO

Healing Overview / Fases de Curación

• Redness, swelling, and stinging are normal and should subside by the next day.

• Brows go through three phases: heal → peel → fade.

• Patchiness during healing is normal and may occur during the scabbing phase. Pigment will even out and resurface over 2 weeks.

• Once peeling starts, brows may look flaky or dry. Do not pick or scratch, as this will cause pigment loss.

• Final healed results may appear 10–30% lighter and 10–15% smaller than initially.

What to Avoid / Qué Evitar

• Do not wash with a washcloth, pick, or scratch the area.
  No use toallitas, ni pellizque o raspe el área del tatuaje.

• Do not use steam, sauna, or swim for 10 days.
  No use vapor, sauna, ni nade por 10 días.

• Do not apply makeup on the tattoo area for 14 days.
  No use maquillaje en el área del tatuaje por 14 días.

• Avoid sun exposure for 10–14 days or until fully healed.
  Evite los rayos del sol por 10–14 días o hasta que la curación esté completa.

Cleansing & Moisturizing / Limpieza y Humectación

  Gentilmente lave con un jabón suave una vez al día – solo 3 días.

• Apply a thin layer of ointment once a day for 3 days only.
  Aplique una capa fina de ungüento una vez al día – solo 3 días.

• Brows will dry heal naturally after day 3.

Extra Tips / Consejos Adicionales

• Whiteness or blanching around the area is normal and should subside within 12 hours.

• If you notice lymphatic fluid or blood, gently blot with cool boiled water and gauze, then dry.

• Once healed, consider using waterproof sunblock to prevent color fading.
