EYELINER
Antihistamines like Benadryl taken before the procedure may reduce swelling and help you relax. Benadryl also reduces watery eyes during the eyeliner procedure. Watery eyes can dilute the pigment that is being implanted.
Do not wear false eyelashes.
Do not wear mascara on the day of the procedure.
Do not wear contact lens during the procedure or for 24 hours after.
Do not dye or perm lashes for 2 days prior.
Do not use an eyelash curler the day of the procedure.
Do not use aspirin or ibuprofen for 7 days prior to your procedure.
Do bring sunglasses to wear home because eyes may be light sensitive.
EYEBROWS
Do not remove unwanted hair, tweeze or wax.
Do not dye brows for 7 days prior.
Do not have electrolysis done 7 days prior.
Do not use aspirin or ibuprofen for 7 days prior.
LIPS
Do not wear lipstick on your lips on the day of the procedure.
If you have had any type of lip surgery, consult with the physician about how long you should wait before having a Permanent Makeup procedure on your lips. Most physicians are giving a 3-month approval if you have had lip filler injections like collagen or restylane.
If the lip surgery involves an incision (like a lip implant) the incision needs to mature about 1 year before tattooing on top of it.
If you get cold sores you will need an antiviral prescription. Physicians usually instruct patients to begin taking the medication 2 days before, and 5 days after the procedure to help control the viral outbreak. These prescription medications are Zorivax, Famvir, or Valtrex.
