Pre-Care

    • 4 Weeks Before Your Appointment:

      • No chemical peels, microneedling, or aggressive exfoliation.

      • No Botox (booking too close to your PMU session can cause shifting and uneven settling).

    • 2 Weeks Before Your Appointment:

      • Stop using any skincare actives (Retinol/Retinoids, Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid, AHA/BHAs, Niacinamide, brightening products).

      • Limit sun exposure and tanning.

      • Avoid getting any type of facial.

    • 1 Week Before Your Appointment:

      • No waxing, plucking, or threading of the brows.

      • No tinting of the brows.

    • 24 Hours Before Your Appointment:

      • No alcohol.

    • Morning of Your Appointment:

      • No caffeine (coffee or caffeinated teas, as they thin the blood and may increase bleeding).

      • No chemical peels, microneedling, or aggressive exfoliation.

      • Avoid getting any type of facial.

      • Keep lips hydrated and avoid chapping.

      • If your lips are chapped at the time of your appointment, please reach out to reschedule. Chapped lips can result in difficulty numbing and uneven results. Rescheduling fees may apply if not notified in advance.

    • 1 Week Before & After Your Appointment (Lip-Specific Precare):

      • If you have a history of cold sores, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Chicken Pox, or Shingles, obtain a prescription for Valtrex, Zovirax, or Acyclovir to prevent cold sores from appearing due to lip blushing.

      • Even if you have never experienced these conditions, you may still want to get a prescription as a preventative measure. Not pre-medicating increases the risk of a cold sore outbreak.

      • Consider purchasing Medela Purelan Lanolin Nipple Cream for aftercare to help prevent chapping, flaking, and scabbing.
