• Pregnant or nursing

• Diabetes

• Tendency towards keloids or scarring

• Seborrheic dermatitis

• Skin irritations or psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.)

• Botox in the past 4 weeks

​

Preparation Before Your Procedure

• Lash Extensions

  • You need to remove lash extensions at least one to two days – or ideally a week – before your procedure to give lash extension glue time to disappear. Even small amounts of lash glue can interfere with the application of ink. Must wait 3 weeks to reapply extensions after the procedure.

​​

• No Mascara

  • No mascara on the day of the procedure and have your eyes free of makeup and moisturizer. Too much wax based makeup affects the healing process and pigment implantation.

  • Discontinue Latisse and any other lash growth serum for a minimum of 4 weeks prior

 

• Natural Blood Thinners

  • Stop taking aspirin, fish oil, and other ‘natural’ products that thin the blood for at least three days prior to your procedure. If you take prescription blood thinners, consult your doctor for advice.

​

• Contact Lenses

  • Remove contact lenses before your procedure, and don’t put them back in until any tenderness or redness has vanished.

​

Things to Avoid After Procedure

• avoid using eyelash curlers for 2 weeks. Clean eyelash curler with alcohol prior to using.

• avoid eyelash extensions for a minimum of 3 weeks post your eyeliner procedure.

• avoid mascara or eye makeup for 2 weeks.

• avoid Retin-A, Glycolic Acids, Alpha Hydroxy Acid ( AHA) near eyes to avoid premature fading.

• avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for a minimum of 4 weeks after your procedure. Direct sunlight can cause the pigment to change color while it is healing and can also cause hyperpigmentation and scarring.

• avoid underwater swimming for 4 weeks to avoid bacterial infection.

• avoid saunas, steam rooms, and steamy showers for 10 days.
