• Detailed Consultation: A full consultation and patch test are required to map out your facial symmetry, choose appropriate pigments, and discuss the healing process.

• No Blood Thinners: Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours prior. Avoid taking Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, or Fish Oils for 5–7 days before your session to minimise bleeding, which can push the pigment out.

• No Caffeine: Do not consume coffee, energy drinks, or heavy caffeine on the morning of your treatment, as caffeine dilates blood vessels and increases sensitivity.

• Aesthetic Buffers: Do not have Botox or fillers near the treatment area for at least 2–3 weeks prior. Discontinue retinols and facial acids 1 week before.

This treatment is not suitable for everyone. Please tell us at your consultation, and do not book, if any of the following apply. This is a guide, not a full list, and your practitioner will carry out a proper assessment.

• You are under 18
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding
• You are prone to keloid scarring
• You have eczema, psoriasis, an active skin infection or a cold sore in or near the brow area
• You have diabetes, which may need GP clearance first
• You take blood thinning medication or have a bleeding disorder
• You have had recent Botox or filler in the area, which may need time to settle first
• You are using or have recently used Roaccutane or a similar isotretinoin treatment
• You have an autoimmune condition or are undergoing treatment such as chemotherapy, which may need GP clearance

• Dry Healing / Gentle Wiping: Follow your therapist’s specific blotting instructions for Day 1 to remove excess lymph fluid. Keep the area clean and apply only the provided healing balm using a clean cotton bud.

• Do Not Pick the Flakes: As the skin heals, it will flake, itch, and scab slightly. Do not scratch, pick, or pull at the peeling skin. Forcing flakes off prematurely will pull the pigment directly out of the skin, leaving gaps.

• Keep Clean and Dry: Avoid splashing water directly on your face, swimming, heavy sweating, saunas, and hot tubs for 10–14 days, or until the skin is entirely healed.

• No Cosmetics: Do not apply any makeup, standard skin lotions, or active anti-aging products to the treated area for at least 2 weeks.

• Long-Term UV Protection: Once healed, always protect your permanent makeup with a high SPF to prevent the pigment from fading or shifting color over time.
