Eyebrow PMU (nano, combo & powder brows)

Before your appointment

• No physical exercise on the day of the procedure
• No alcohol or caffeine for 3 days before
• Do not wax, tweeze, or tint your brows for 3 days before
• No sunbathing or tanning for a month before
• Avoid aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, fish oil, and ibuprofen for at least 3 days before (check with your doctor first about any prescribed medication)
• Stop retinoid skincare near the brows at least 1 month before
• Sensitivity can be heightened during your menstrual cycle, plan around it if you can

After your appointment, the first 10 days

• About 4–5 hours after the procedure, gently cleanse the brows with a cotton pad and distilled or boiled (cooled) water, then let them air-dry, this helps minimize scabbing
• After that: no water, cleansers, creams, or makeup on the treated area
• Do not rub, pick, or scratch, let any dry skin exfoliate off naturally; picking causes scarring and pigment loss
• No pools, jacuzzis, saunas, long hot showers, or heavy sweating; avoid gardening, dusty environments, and close contact with pets
• Try not to sleep on your face
• No direct sun or tanning for 3–4 weeks; no facials or tinting for a month
• Excessive redness, swelling, or tenderness lasting more than 1–2 days? Seek medical care

Lip PMU (lip blush & dark lip neutralization)

Before your appointment

• Same rules as brows: no exercise that day; no alcohol or caffeine for 3 days; no aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, fish oil, or ibuprofen for 3 days; no tanning for a month; stop retinoids near the lips a month before
• Prone to cold sores? Talk to your doctor about starting an antiviral a few days before your procedure and continuing a week after, this one matters

After your appointment

• Keep lips moist at all times with the balm we provide
• No water, cleansers, creams, or makeup on the lips for 2 weeks
• Do not rub, pick, or scratch, let dry skin exfoliate naturally
• Drink through a straw until fully healed; keep spicy and salty foods off the treated area for at least a week
• No pools, saunas, long hot showers, or heavy sweating for two weeks; no facials for a month; avoid sleeping on your face for 2 weeks
• No direct sun or tanning for 3–4 weeks
• Once healed, a lip product with SPF keeps your color from fading early

Brow lamination (brow lift)

Before

• Arrive with clean brows, no makeup, oils, or skincare residue
• No waxing or tweezing for at least 24 hours before
• No retinol, AHA/BHA, or exfoliants near the brows for 48 hours before

After

• Keep brows dry for 24 hours, no showers over them, saunas, or heavy workouts
• No makeup or skincare on the brows for 24 hours
• Brush brows into place daily; a nourishing brow oil or balm keeps the hairs healthy
• Skip exfoliants and retinol near the area for 3–5 days

Lash lift & tint

Before

• Arrive with clean lashes, no mascara or eye makeup; no waterproof mascara for 48 hours before
• Remove contact lenses for the appointment
• Do not curl your lashes that day

After

• Keep lashes dry for 24 hours, no water, steam, sweat, or makeup
• No eye-rubbing or face-down sleeping
• Skip mascara for 24–48 hours, and avoid waterproof formulas long-term to protect the lift
• A lash serum or light nourishing oil keeps lashes strong between visits

Brow & lash tint

• Before: come with clean, makeup-free brows and lashes; keep the area oil-free that day; tell your artist about any allergies or eye sensitivity
• After: keep the area dry for 12–24 hours; skip pools, saunas, and steam the first day; avoid oil-based or exfoliating products near the area; re-tint every 3–6 weeks to maintain

For the long term (all PMU services)

• Having a facial, chemical peel, or laser treatment? Tell the technician about your permanent cosmetics first
• Retinoid and acid skincare near treated areas fades pigment early, route them around your brows and lips
• SPF is your color's best friend once healed
• Your perfecting touch-up at 4–12 weeks ($190) is a standard part of every PMU service, and an annual refresh keeps results at their best
