Your Pre-Care Guide
Everything you need to know before your appointment. A little preparation makes a bigger difference to your result than most people realise — and I want yours to be perfect.
Everything on this page protects the same thing: your result. When your skin bleeds more than it should — from alcohol, exercise, sun or certain medications — pigment cannot settle properly. That is why these rules exist. They are not formalities. They are the difference between a result that lasts and one that disappoints.
Good preparation = less bleeding, better pigment retention, longer-lasting results.
The basics — everyone needs these
Please read all of these carefully — they apply to every treatment.
Treatment-specific preparation
Everything in the general section above applies — plus these brow-specific steps.
Had previous brow PMU or microblading? Please send me photos before your appointment. Previous pigment that has shifted colour affects what we can do — and I want to plan your treatment properly in advance.
Your lips are the most reactive area we work on. These steps are non-negotiable — each one directly protects your result and your safety.
If you have any history of cold sores — even once, even years ago — you must take antiviral medication before your appointment. Lip blush will always trigger the virus if it is present in your system. Starting antivirals 5 days before is not optional — it is the single most important step for protecting both your health and your result.
If you have an active cold sore on the day — please contact me to reschedule. We simply cannot treat over an active outbreak. It is not a problem — we will rebook once you are fully healed.
Your skin’s condition on the day determines how effective the session is and how safely your skin responds. Please take laser preparation especially seriously.
The better prepared your skin, the more effective each session. Good preparation across every session means fewer sessions overall and better results. Stay hydrated in the weeks after too — hydration supports your lymphatic system in clearing the broken-down pigment from your body.
