Contact lenses must be removed prior and cannot be worn for 5-7 days after treatment.
- Lips – As a precaution, we recommend everyone takes a course of anti-viral tablets 1 week before and 1 week after your treatment to avoid an outbreak (this can be prescribed by your GP). The tattooing process can trigger a cold sore outbreak, if you have ever had a cold sore this precaution of anti-virals is strongly recommend. Gently exfoliate and moisture lips for 2 weeks leading up to your appointment to ensure the skin is in optimal condition.
- Scalp – No growth serums for 4 weeks before or after treatment. No permanent / semi-permanent / henna dyes can be used 2 weeks prior appointment and at least 4 weeks after. Wash hair in the morning of your appointment. Hair must be clean and free of any products prior to your treatment.
