To achieve the best pigment retention and beautifully healed brows, please follow these pre-care instructions before your appointment.
4 Weeks Before
- No Botox or cosmetic fillers around the forehead or brow area.
- Avoid laser treatments, chemical peels, or microneedling on the face.
2 Weeks Before
- Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning, or sunburn.

- Tylenol (Acetaminophen) may be taken if needed, as it does not thin the blood.
24 Hours Before
- Do not consume alcohol.
- Avoid coffee, energy drinks, tea, or other caffeinated beverages.
- Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating.
Day of Your Appointment
- Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, sunscreen, or skincare products around the eyebrows.
- Eat a light meal before your appointment.

- If you have irritated, sunburned, or broken skin around the brows, your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
