Topical Retinol must not be used for 4 weeks prior to treatment and 4 weeks after

Oral Retinol must not be taken for 4 months prior to treatment and 2 months after

If you have ever suffered from a cold sore it is highly recommended to take Aciclovir for 5 days starting 1 day before treatment to avoid a cold sore outbreak. Lip Blush itself does not cause a cold sore, it is a trauma response to working on the lips themselves

If you have ever had previous PMU before not with us please send a picture prior to booking an appointment to confirm suitability and treatment plan

  • Please do not ingest Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Niacin, Alcohol or Caffeine 24hrs before treatment – these are blood thinners and make it more difficult to implant and retain pigment
  • For Lip Blush please ensure any dry skin has been exfoliated with a Lip Scrub
  • For Lip Blush if you have ever had a cold sore it is advised to take Acyclovir medication starting one day before treatment to minimise the risk of an outbreak

Aftercare is extremely important in your healed results. A thorough explanation will be given on the day of treatment however in summary:

Brows:

You must not get your brows wet, sweaty or be in the sun for 2 weeks. You must apply the aftercare creams provided as well as the patch to wear on the first night to cover the brows. 

Lips:

You must try not get your lips wet for 7 days. As this is difficult whist eating and drinking please use a knife and fork and straw. You should apply the provided aftercare creams regularly to keep lips moisturised.

Tattoos:

Keep the cover on for 5 days, slowly peel off and wash with warm water. Apply the balm provided for at least 2 weeks. No Saunas, steam rooms or swimming for 2 weeks.

Li-FT Tattoo Removal:

Keep the area dry until the scab has completely come off on its own. Apply the aftercare cream provided only when all flaking has stopped.

During the healing process pigment fades in some places more than others, the touch up appointment allows for this pigment to be added back and for the colour to be refreshed. Each individual retains different levels of pigment – it’s best to add more at the 2nd session than be too saturated during the first. These appointments take less time than your initial appointment as they are a refresh.

Pigments fade over time, the rate at which depends on numerous factors including: oiliness of the skin, sun exposure, smoking, drinking, skin care, and quality of the skin tissues. Some people require a top up treatment after 12 months, others a few years. The idea is that the area is faded enough for there to be enough room to add further pigment at your future top ups which is unique to the individual.

A top of the range numbing cream is used prior to your treatment and a further numbing gel is used throughout. Clients are extremely comfortable and sometimes fall asleep depending on your treatment. I pride myself on creating an enjoyable experience at your appointment.

A non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your appointment. If you cancel with less than 48hrs notice or do not show up to your appointment your deposit will be kept and a new non-refundable deposit will need to be paid to book another appointment. You can transfer your appointment twice to another date providing 48hrs notice is given. If you move your appointment for a third time your original deposit will be kept and a new non refundable deposit will need to be made to secure a new appointment. If you are more than 10 minutes late to your appointment I may not be able to proceed due to lack of time which impacts other clients. This will class as as missing your appointment outside of the 48hr cancellation window and the above previous points will apply. Due to the nature of the treatment we do not allow children within the salon.

If you have any allergies patch test is recommended.  Please contact us to arrange your patch test after you have made your appointment booking. You need to leave at least 24 hours prior to the appointment time. Products that we use are not highly allergic . You are much more likely to react to hair dye or eyebrow tint than permanent makeup pigment. But for extra safety we advise a patch test for everyone.
