Pre-Care & Aftercare

Pre Care for Permanent Makeup

- Any cosmetic botox/ injectables should be done three weeks prior to the appointment OR two weeks after your permanent makeup service.
- STOP using any skin thinners (AHA, Retinol, Vitamin A, Glycolic Acids, exfoliations) AND blood thinners (alcohol, caffeine, pain medications such as ibuprofen, asprin, niacin, fish oil pills) 48 hours prior to any PMU procedures.
- Waxing, brow shaping (not necessary) should be done at least two days prior.
- Brow laminations and tinting can be done one week prior if desired.
- If you have any moles, blemishes, sores around treatment area we will not be able to tattoo over and will work around.
- Though our Permanent Makeup Services are not meant to be painful, please let your artist know your concerns and if you are nervous about it. We can numb you for longer periods of time if needed, but you must specify so your artist can include extra numbing processing time to your appointment. 
- You are allowed to wear brow makeup if you would like to show your artist what you are used to and prefer, but artist will include their professional opinions as well at your appointment - for both consult and day-of.
- Try to plan your PMU appointments around your menstrual cycle if possible since it can cause some hypersensitivity, more pain, and sometimes bleeding near or on treatment area

Aftercare for Permanent Makeup

Every appointment with includes an aftercare kit with all that you need to perfect the healing process. You will receive either an oil-based aftercare ointment or a water-based lotion depending on your skin type. 


- Blot the brows either using an antiseptic wipe or your ink soap rinse provided to you in aftercare bag 30 minutes post procedure and again two hours later. This is to blot off excess lymph and plasma fluid to prevent scabbing for a easy & breezy healing.
- Twice a day (AM & PM) blot the brows using a cotton pad/round with 1 -2 pumps of the Ink Soap foam aftercare rinse and gently pat. Be sure to get under natural brow hairs to make sure the whole area is sterile. - - - - Once clean, apply a ‘grain of rice’ size amount of ointment to each brow carefully using a Q-tip or completely clean fingers. The amount of ointment applied should have a chapstick finish not gloss. If so, blot of excess ointment so the brows can breathe. 

Following your aftercare instructions for the full 10-14 day healing process will help maximize your healed results and color retention. Results vary or all individuals and can not guarantee your results.

FAQ

  • How Often Should I Get My Lashes Filled?

    Everyone’s hair growth cycle is different but 3 weeks is typical. So every 2-3 weeks is the sweet spot for my clients.

    And if you’re coming is closer to 2 weeks, save money by using the membership deals!

  • How Long Does Tint Last?

    Tint is temporary coloring - It will last up to 7 days on the skin and up to 4 weeks on the hairs.

  • How Long Does Lash Lift and/or Brow Lamination Last??

    I always say "up to 8 weeks depending on your lifestyle.” If you tend to sweat/workout, have oily skin, or use a lot of skincare products then the longevity of these services may be less.

  • I want to learn to lash - where do I start?

    In the state of California you must be Licensed (Esthetics or Cosmetology) in order to legally perform lash or brow services. IF you are licensed, we’d love to have you join our small group course or do a 1-on-1! For training inquiries, reach out to paige@sweetp-studios.com
