(Must Be Strictly Followed)

​

• Bleeding & Sensitivity: Follow all instructions to minimize bleeding and sensitivity, which can affect pigment results.

• Skin Condition: Ensure your skin is free from irritations (e.g., blemishes, eczema) and healed scars (at least 1 year old).

• Accutane: Avoid Accutane for at least 6 months before your appointment.

• Supplements: Stop taking Fish Oil, Vitamin C, Glucosamine, Evening Primrose Oil, and Ginger 1 week before. These can thin your blood and affect healing.

• Skincare Products: Avoid using products with AHA, Vitamin A, or Retinol around the treated area at least 48 hours prior to your appointment—this should be sufficient. For optimal results, discontinuing them 30 days prior is ideal. You can resume use after 6 weeks.

• Facial Treatments: No facials, microdermabrasion, microneedling, peels, or laser treatments 4 weeks before.

• Cosmetic Injections: Avoid injections on your forehead for 2 weeks before.

• Medications: Avoid blood thinners like Ibuprofen and Aspirin 72 hours prior. Consult your doctor if necessary. Use Tylenol if needed.

• Exercise: Do not exercise on the day of your procedure.

• Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds 2 weeks prior. Reschedule if sunburned.

• Hair Removal: Do not tweeze, thread, wax, or tint 1 week before.

• Alcohol & Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before.

• Menstrual Cycle: Expect increased sensitivity during your menstrual cycle.
