PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

  • Please stop taking COD LIVER OIL 14 days before your appointment.

  • Don’t take Ibuprofen 2 days prior and 3 days post your appointment.

  • No Chemical Peels or Skin Needling within 7 days prior to your appointment.

  • Please don’t have facial waxing in or threading to the area 1 week prior.

  • Keep out of the sun for a few days prior and post your appointment as your skin will be sensitive and prone to swelling or hyper pigmentation.

  • Be hydrated. Avoid alcohol for 48 hours and caffeine and any stimulants for at least 24 hours prior.

  • Come mid mensural cycle, if possible.

  • COVID vaccine 10 days before.

  • Please remove your contact lenses and bring your glasses for EYE BROW and EYE LINER TATTOO

  • Please do not wear lash extensions if you are booked for EYE LINER or LASH LINE TATTOO.

  • For LIP BLUSH, the skin on your lips needs to be in the best condition. This will not increase the plumpness. I suggest a little filler about 4 weeks before as this will encourage a better result.

  • Use a lip scrub to remove any dry skin or skin flakes, 5 days and again 48 hours before your appointment.

  • Take Arnica the morning of your appointment as this helps with healing.

  • Keep your lips soft and hydrated by continuously applying Vaseline for 3 days before your appointment.

I will be using numbing cream through out. You will be given the information on what and how to obtain it when you make your appointment. The TGA regulations instructs that I cannot supply it

You will be shown how to care for the treated area and given appropriate After Care Balm. You will be responsible for adhering to the advice given.
