What Shall I Do Before Receiving My Permanent Cosmetic Enhancement

 

Prior to your permanent cosmetic enhancement think about the look that you wish to achieve. As an expert in the field of colour analysis and makeovers, i ensure that the correct colours and styles are chosen for you, however you are part of the decision-making process. 

​

Permanent cosmetic enhancements require 2 application sessions. To achieve the best results you will be required to return for a top up procedure four to six weeks after the initial application.  Be prepared for the colour intensity to be significantly sharper and darker immediately after the procedure. This will subside and become softer as the skin heals. This process can take up to fourteen days.

​

General Pre- Advice

  • Please wear your normal make-up to your enhancement appointment.

  • Do not take aspirin or Ibuprofen 2 days prior to and after your enhancement.

  • Do not discontinue any medication before consulting your doctor.

  • Keep alcohol intake to a minimum 2 days prior to and after your enhancement.

  • A sensitivity test is required

  • Do not use Retin skincare products close to the enhancement area 1 month prior to and after your procedure. 

  • As with electrolysis the National Blood Service does not accept donations of blood for 1year after a permanent cosmetic enhancement.

 

 

Eyebrow Enhancement

  • Waxing treatments should be performed no less than 3 days prior to your enhancement.

  • IPL laser hair removal should be performed no less than 2 weeks prior to your enhancement.

  • Electrolysis treatments should be performed no less than 5 days prior to your enhancement.

  • Eyebrow tinting should not be undertaken for 1 week prior to your enhancement.

​

 

Eyeliner Enhancement

  • Eyelash tinting or eyelash perming treatments should be carried out no sooner than 1 week prior to or 4 weeks after your enhancement.

  • Do not wear contact lenses during or immediately following your enhancement procedure. Remember to bring your glasses. You may resume wearing your contact lenses 24 hours after the procedure.

​

 

Lip Enhancement

  • If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex) and are scheduling a lip enhancement we advise you to use anti-herpes medication for example Zovirax cream which can be obtained from a chemist. Use the cream 1 week prior and 1 week after your enhancement 5 times a day. This can help minimise an outbreak. Permanent cosmetic enhancements do not cause cold sores, however if you carry the virus, it lays dormant in the nervous system and can be aroused by the infusion process.

  • IPL laser hair removal should be performed at least 2 weeks prior to your enhancement.

  • Lip wax or bleaching treatments should not be undertaken for a two-week period prior to and after your enhancement.

  • Exfoliate your lips 2 weeks to the lead up of your appointment either by using an exfoliator or a tooth brush, this will prevent any dry skin sitting on your lips, therefore being able to tattoo into the skin.
