Be ready before your appointment

Brows

• Free of accutane for 6 months (if you are using accutane you need to wait at least 6 months until the day you stopped the medication) Talk to your Family Doctor.

• Do not tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure

• Do not have a sunburned face at the appointment

• Do not work out the day of the procedure

• Do not have botox 2 weeks prior

• Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior

• Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure

• Shower before the procedure

  In order to avoid bleeding and poor colour deposit:

• Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your appointment

• Do not consume coffee the day of your appointment

• Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)

Lips

As a necessary precaution, we require ALL of our Aquarelle Lip clients to take an anti-viral medication for a total of 5 days (2 days prior to procedure, 1 day-of, and 2 days post-procedure). Valtrex and L-Lysine are the recommended combination for the best healing in case you are affected by the herpes virus. This rule holds true for each and every time you have any lip tattoo. You will need to contact your physician in order to obtain your prescription strength anti-viral medication. You must inform them of your decision to have permanent cosmetics applied to your lips and they will need to call your prescription in for you to pick up at your pharmacy.

• Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)

• Start moisturizing your lips at least 3 days before the appointment

• Do not come in with active/healing Cold sores or injured lips
