PMU Pre - Treatment Advice

Your results depend greatly on how you prepare for your appointment. By following the guidance below, you help ensure optimal results both on the day of treatment and once healed. These instructions apply to both your initial appointment and your touch-up.

Please inform us in advance of any medical conditions 

and all medications you are currently taking.

Before Your Appointment

   •    Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours prior to your treatment

   •    Do not take aspirin or blood-thinning medications for 2 weeks before your appointment (unless medically prescribed – please inform us)

   •    Avoid ibuprofen for 48 hours prior to treatment

   •    Do not consume caffeine on the day of your appointment (caffeine may be consumed after your treatment)

   •    Avoid Omega-3 fish oils and Vitamin E supplements for 2 weeks prior to treatment

   •    Do not use chemical peels, retinols, AHAs, or exfoliating acids on the face for 4 weeks prior to treatment

   •    No Botox or dermal fillers for 4 weeks before and 2 weeks after your appointment

   •    Do not pluck, wax, thread, or tint the brows for 2 weeks prior to treatment

Lip Treatments – Additional Advice

   •    Gently exfoliate the lips once daily using a soft toothbrush for one week prior to treatment to remove dry skin

   •    Keep lips well-hydrated consistently for one week before your appointment

Pre-care is important, but aftercare is just as essential for achieving beautiful, long-lasting results.

Your final healed outcome depends heavily on how well you care for your permanent makeup after your treatment and how closely you follow the aftercare advice given on the day.

Permanent makeup usually requires a minimum of two sessions to complete. Your touch-up appointment allows us to perfect the work, make any small adjustments, and ensure your results look their absolute best.

Please avoid scratching, picking, or pulling at the treated area, as this can affect how the pigment heals and may lead to uneven results or gaps. Only touch the area when carrying out your recommended aftercare routine.

For 14 Days following treatment, please avoid:

• Sunbeds
• Swimming, saunas, and steam rooms
• Heavy sweating (such as intense gym workouts)
• Getting the area excessively wet
• Applying makeup to the treated area
• Facials or treatments that involve touching the area
• Avoid retinols, chemical peels, and harsh skincare products for at least 4 weeks after your appointment
• No Botox or dermal fillers for 2 weeks following treatment

You’ll receive a full aftercare pack on the day of your appointment, along with easy-to-follow verbal and written instructions. If you’re ever unsure or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’re always happy to help
