care instructions

To ensure the best results and optimal pigment retention, please follow these guidelines before your procedure:

• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners (Aspirin, Ibuprofen) for 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bleeding.
• Do not take fish oil, vitamin E, or any supplements that can thin the blood for at least a week prior.
• Stop using Retinol, AHA/BHA, or exfoliating treatments on the procedure area at least one week before to prevent skin sensitivity.
• No Botox, fillers, facials, or chemical peels for at least two weeks before the procedure.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least one week prior, as sunburned skin cannot be treated.
• If you are prone to cold sores (for lip procedures), take an antiviral medication (e.g., Valtrex) at least 2-3 days before your appointment.
• No waxing, threading, or tinting on the treatment area one week before the procedure.
• Stay hydrated and get a good night's sleep before your appointment to help your skin be in its best condition.

Following these pre-care instructions will ensure better pigment retention, minimize irritation, and promote smooth healing.
