  • If you tint your brows, tint it at least one week prior to the procedure. 

  • Cosmetic botox or fillers should be done 2 weeks prior or 2 weeks after.  

  • Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or take any blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin 48 hours before your procedure, this will cause excess bleeding and may affect your results).

  • You may come in with how you normally draw in your brows so we can see what you are used to.  This is especially important for clients who desire a specific brow shape. If you are open to suggestions, we are happy to help design a custom brow to personally suit you. 

  • You may experience hypersensitivity and more pain around or during your menstrual cycle.

  • For added comfort please feel free to ask any pharmacist for Emla which is a numbing solution you can apply prior to the appointment to make sure you are even more comfortable. Apply it to your brows and cover brows with saran wrap for 60 min before your appointment. You can use the remaining Emla prior to your touch up appointment (should you need one) this is not necessary however for some nervous clients, it is comforting.

  • We will not be able to tattoo over any blemishes, sores, and moles in or around the brow area.

Aquarelle Lip Blush Pre-Care Instructions
 

Pre-treatment cares are important steps that need to be taken to prepare your lips for the actual lip blush treatment. Following the steps below to make sure your lips are in good condition prior to your appointment:

  1. Exfoliate your lips everyday in 3-5 days prior to your appointment using specialize lip scrub exfoliation or honey mixed with sugar.

  2. Apply lip balm everyday prior to your appointment to keep them moisturized. Moisturized lips will retain color better and help you get a better result.

  3. Avoid all facial treatments, or waxing around the lip area for at least one week prior.

  4. Please do not drink coffee the day of your appointment. Do not consume alcohol or take any blood thinners such as Aspirin, Advil or Ibuprofen 48 hours before your procedure.

  5. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water (the first sign of dehydration is dry lips).

  6. ***Cold sores: If you ever had a cold sore, you MUST get your family doctor to prescribe an antiviral such as Valtrex to prevent a cold sore outbreak during the healing period. Or you can get ABREVA over the counter at a pharmacy, it's less strong than the one on the prescription from your doctor.  Please pretreat by taking the medication at least 3 days before, the day of & 3-5 days after your appointment. You will need to do this before your 6-8 week touch up. Failure to do so, you are taking a risk getting cold sores after your lip blush procedure resulting pain, color lost or uneven color patchiness.

  7. You can wear your normal makeup on the day of your procedure

  8. If you have a certain color or lip shape in mind, please bring photos or your own lipstick. We can use them as a guide when choosing a color.
