In preparation for your cosmetic tattoo please follow these guidelinesIn preparation of your cosmetic tattoo…

– Pause on using any retinol, glycolic acid, and vitamin c serums 4 weeks before and after your cosmetic tattoo procedure. Once you resume using these skincare products please refrain from applying directly to the tattooed area as these chemical exfoliants can affect pigment retention.

– Avoid all facial treatments including lasers, peels, facials, fillers and Botox within 4 weeks before or after your cosmetic tattoo procedure.

– Avoid tanning 2 weeks before and after your procedure

– If you are currently taking antibiotics please wait to schedule your cosmetic tattoo until you have completed the antibiotic treatment.

– Please kindly reschedule your appointment if you have a sunburn/flaking/active acne in the brow or procedure area as we will not be able to proceed with them treatment

– It is essential for a seamless procedure and healing process that you please avoid alcohol, caffeine, blood thinners, and fish oil 24 hours prior to your appointment. That means no caffeine in the morning before your appointment, afterwards is fine.

– Please be aware if you plan to receive any laser hair removal or laser facial treatments to make the technician aware of your cosmetic tattoo as the laser can negatively affect the color of the pigment

Lip Blush clients:
– If you are prone to cold sores or have ever had a cold sore in your life you MUST take an antiviral medication at least 3 days prior to your appointment. You may also consider taking lysine supplements. Trauma from Lip Blush tattooing will cause an outbreak without proper preparation.

SUPER NATURAL BROW ENHANCEMENT (MICROBLADING) AFTERCARE

While we can never fully guarantee the end result of cosmetic tattoos as everyone retains pigment differently and will heal differently due to a wide variety of variables, diligently following your aftercare is imperative to achieving the best healed results possible. If you feel you would be unable to follow these aftercare instructions properly then please be aware that you are most likely not a good candidate for microblading. Also, if you have any questions in regards to aftercare or the healing process, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

We believe that a less is more approach to healing your beautiful new brows is best! Keeping them clean, dry and applying the thinnest amount of prescribed aftercare is key in addition to following our recommended do’s and dont‘ s.

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING YOUR APPOINTMENT:

2-3 hours after your appointment gently rinse your brows with water using the pads of your fingertips to gently rinse away the lymph and plasma that has begun to accumulate. Use the clean gauze provided in your touch up kit to pat dry. Avoid using anything abrasive or non sterile (such as a towel or wash cloth) to dry your brows during the healing process; the best choice is a clean paper towel. Always gently pat dry and do not rub.

Apply a very thin layer of the prescribed aftercare ointment (think rice grain amount) using a clean qtip to each brow 1 time per day.

DAYS 1-10 POST APPOINTMENT

-The goal is to keep your brows as clean, dry and protected as possible! Avoid moisture, water, sweat, sun, makeup and anything else on the brows other than the recommended aftercare for at least 10 days post procedure.

-Keep them dry! Avoid direct shower stream, splashing water directly onto face, steam, saunas, jacuzzis, pools and all other bodies of water for 10 days.

-Keep them clean and free from bacteria, oil etc by gently rinsing with water in the AM and PM and patting dry with a paper towel. If you exercise or do an activity that causes you to sweat, immediately rinse brows afterwards and pat dry. Do not use cleansers or soaps on the brow area for the first 10 days; use water only to gently cleanse.

-Blot! Gently blot your brows using a clean single use blot paper 3x per day for normal skin and up to 6x per day for oily skin for the first 10 days.

-Moisturize! For the first 7 days post procedure use a clean q tip to apply a rice grain amount of the prescribed aftercare to brows. Using only a thin layer will ensure that the brows can still breathe and heal properly. And never apply ointment to brows that are still wet; ensure they are completely dry before applying ointment.

-Do not pick at the scabs or itch your brows. The goal is to allow the scabs to shed naturally. Prematurely picking at the scabs can lead to scarring as well as pigment loss.

-Avoid sweaty and intense exercise for 5-7 days post procedure as both the salt in sweat as well as the increase in blood pressure due to exercise can affect pigment retention and overall healing. Minimal sweating (such as light yoga or Pilates) is permissible but be sure to immediately rinse your brows following any activity.

-Avoid applying any makeup, sunscreen, petroleum based products and in general anything other than the recommended aftercare for the first 10 days.

After 10 days apply sunscreen to the brows daily to protect your investment.

FIRST 4 WEEKS POST APPOINTMENT:

-No facials, Botox, chemical treatments and facial lasers for at least 4 weeks post procedure. Avoid glycolic acid, retinol, peels and exfoliants and any lightening products (including hydroquinone) in the brow area to avoid lightening or altering the pigment. If you receive any laser facial treatments or hair removal in the future be sure to inform the technician that your brows are tattooed as the laser can affect the pigment.

-Avoid direct sun exposure/tanning beds for at least 4 weeks post procedure. Wear a large hat and sunglasses when exposed to sun to prevent fading and discoloration.

-Do not bleach or tint the brow area for 4 weeks post procedure and do not receive any waxing or threading services until your brows are fully healed.

LASHLINE ENHANCEMENT AFTERCARE:

-Lashline enhancement will heal very quickly with minimal aftercare needed. Keep the area clean and use a small amount of prescribed ointment. Light to moderate swelling and redness is to be expected. Do not pick at the scabs simply allow them to shed naturally.

-Avoid wearing makeup in the eye area for 3-5 days and switch out your previous mascara for a fresh tube to avoid introducing bacteria to the treatment area.

• For best results, please keep the nourishing conditioner applied at the end of the service on your brows or lashes for at least 4 hours
• Brow Flip clients it is recommended that you apply the provided nourishing serum or castor oil to brows daily
• Bunny’s Lash Lift & Brow Flip are WATERPROOF so there is no need to avoid getting them wet-  you won’t ruin the results with water
