PREPARATION BEFORE PERMANENT MAKE-UP APPLICATION
What to do before each PMU treatment
To ensure that the skin is as well prepared as possible for the treatment and to achieve a high-quality, long-lasting result, it is important to follow a few basic rules:
- Do not undergo any chemical or laser peels, dermabrasion or other intensive cosmetic treatments on the area to be treated for 2 months prior to the procedure.
- Do not have Botox or dermal fillers in the treatment area for 4 weeks prior to the procedure, and avoid intense sunlight. At the time of the procedure, the skin must be healthy and free from inflammation, irritation or any ongoing healing or regeneration. If, for example, you have an active cold sore, inflammation or other skin problems on your face, the procedure must be postponed.
- Do not use a sunbed for 10 days before the procedure and avoid intense sunbathing.
- 48 hours before the procedure, avoid taking any substances or supplements that may affect blood clotting (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, omega-3 and certain other supplements). Never stop taking prescribed medication without first consulting your doctor.
- Do not consume alcohol, coffee, caffeinated drinks or energy drinks, and do not smoke for 24 hours before the procedure.
- On the day of the procedure, you can come wearing your usual make-up so that we can see how you normally apply it (apart from eyeliner).
LA BROWS, POWDER BROWS
- Once you have booked your appointment, please do not pluck or heavily trim your eyebrows, so that as many hairs as possible have grown back by the time of the treatment and their natural growth pattern is clearly visible.
- Do not dye or laminate your eyebrows for 2 months prior to the treatment.
NOBLE LIPS
If you suffer from cold sores, you must let us know in advance. For clients prone to cold sores, we recommend consulting a doctor about preventative antiviral treatment.
3 days before application:
- Make sure you drink enough fluids.
- Gently exfoliate your lips regularly to remove any dry flaky skin.
- After exfoliating, moisturise your lips thoroughly.
For subsequent moisturising, we recommend, for example, Purelan, which contains lanolin. Properly prepared and moisturised lips are very important for the successful application of pigment and the subsequent healing process.
LASH EYELINER, SHADED EYELINER
- On the day of the treatment, please arrive with no make-up on at all, particularly around the eyes. Removing make-up just before the treatment may cause unnecessary irritation to your eyes and skin.
- If you are wearing false eyelashes, you must remove them before application.
- Do not use eyelash growth serums for at least 2 weeks before the treatment.
- If you wear contact lenses, you must remove them before the procedure. Please bring a case with lens solution, or wear your glasses if you can.
The skin around the eyes must be healthy and free from irritation, inflammation or active healing before application.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL
- Shave the area to be treated with a razor approximately 12–24 hours before your appointment. The hairs should not protrude above the surface of the skin.
- Do not remove hair by waxing, sugaring, tweezing or using an epilator for at least 8 weeks before treatment. The hair root must remain intact so that the laser can act on it.
- Between appointments, you can simply shave or trim the hair.
- For a few days before the treatment, do not use exfoliants, acids, retinoids or any other products on the affected area that may irritate the skin.
- Please do not use self-tanning products before your visit. If your skin is freshly tanned, sunburnt or irritated, please let us know in advance.
- On the day of your treatment, please ensure your skin is clean and free from creams, oils, perfume, make-up and deodorant in the area to be treated.
- Please let us know about any medicines or dietary supplements you are taking, particularly if they may increase your skin’s sensitivity to light. Do not stop taking any medicines without consulting your doctor.
- Please let us know about any changes in your health, skin problems, injuries, cold sores, new tattoos or permanent make-up in the area to be treated.
