4. If you'd like to bring in any of your favorite lipstick colors, eyeliner colors, and blush colors we will go over them with you during your consultation.

9. If you are prone to cold sores procedures could cause breakouts. We advise you to be on a prescription of Zovirax. Please request this prescription from your physician to take for five days prior to your application to minimize breakouts. It is advised you take Zovirax for at least 7 days after your procedure for maximum effect.

10. If you take fish oil supplements or a NSAID (non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drug), such as Celebrex or Ibuprofen, please refrain from taking these for at least three days prior to the procedure. They can cause excessive swelling and bleeding at the procedure site.

11. Things to avoid after application: Sun, Steam, Chlorine, Makeup, and Cleansers for five days after procedure. Also, avoid scratching, scrubbing, tweezing, or picking at application until fully healed.

12. Procedures will look dark for four days, before lightening. Procedures, especially lips and lower eyeliner can take up to 8 weeks for full color to show.

13. Do not judge color or shape until you are fully healed (4-8 weeks). Your second application is when we assess how well your skin takes to permanent makeup. Any shape and color adjustments will be made during this visit.
