Lash Line Enhancement Clients
All eyelash extensions and strip lashes must be removed at least 1 week prior to your appointment to avoid irritation.
​
Lip Blush Clients​
If you have ever experienced cold sores, you are required to begin an antiviral medication 7 days before and continue 7 days after your Lip Blush appointment.
Please note: You may experience increased sensitivity during your menstrual cycle.
​
After-Care Requirements​
Proper aftercare is critical for pigment retention and healing.
-
For the first 24 hours, gently blot the treated area with a clean, dry cotton round.
-
For the first 5 days, gently cleanse the area using a damp cotton round. Discontinue after day five to prevent premature scab removal.
-
If recommended (Powder or Ombre Brows only), apply a rice-sized amount of ointment in the evening only.

Do not pick or scratch scabs. Flaking and light scabbing are a normal part of healing.
-
Avoid excessive sweating, long hot showers, swimming, or excess moisture to the area for 14 days.
