Care instructions
No harsh chemical peels
No intense laser treatments near the treatment area
Stop using lash growth serums at least 2 months before your eyeliner tattoo (they increase sensitivity and bleeding)
Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning
No Botox or filler at least 3–4 weeks before your PMU session
No waxing or threading on/around the area
Stop using Retin-A, retinols, Vitamin C, steroids, Vitamin E, fish oil, or any blood thinners
Discontinue AHA (chemical exfoliation) products near the treatment area
For Lip Blushing: Start gently exfoliating and moisturizing daily if you have dry or flaky lips—dry lips = poor pigment retention and more sessions
12 hours prior
- No alcohol
- No caffeine
- No aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners
This is especially important for Lip Blushing. Ignoring this step can lead to:
• Excessive bleeding
• Bruising
• Increased sensitivity
• Poor retention
• Needing additional sessions
Do not work out. Exfoliate the area by using a gentle scrub to get rid of dead skin, this will allow the ink to penetrate better
If you have eyelash extensions, please have your lashes removed before your Eyeliner appointment
Remove your contacts before Eyeliner procedure
