​DO NOT workout the day of your appointment

DO NOT take aspirin or ibuprofen before your appointment, Acetaminophen is fine

DO NOT drink coffee the day of your appointment

Failure to follow any above guidelines might result in inability to Proform procedure that day and lost of booking fee

• Come in with a clean face 

• Do not wear any scented lotions or perfumes.

• Do not bring anyone under the age of 18 to your appointment. 

• To keep you as comfortable as possible, we use a pre-numb as well as a secondary numbing agent. 

• Once the procedure begins, the process will take about 15–45 mins to be complete. 

• Upon completion of the procedure, our Artists will explain all aftercare, and provide you with an aftercare kit.

• KEEP AREA CLEAN and open to the air. 

• CLEANSE THE AREA 4x a day with saline wash. Make sure you wash your hands directly before cleansing the area. 

• DO NOT SOAK the treated area in water. You can shower as normal, but keep the area out of the show spray the best you can and do not let the area stay wet for more than a few minutes. It is best to keep it dry but if you do get it wet, gently pat dry. 

• NO BATHING, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, HOT TUBS, TANNING, OR EXERCISE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

• DO NOT disrupt the scabbing process. (i.e. no picking, scratching, etc.) All scabbing needs to fall off naturally. If you force or pick a scab off, you will disrupt the process and possibly cause scarring. It is critical to keep the scabs on as long as possible to achieve optimum results. 

• TREAT AREA WITH TLC. Do not do anything at all that could cause issues or problems to the treated area. 

• ONCE ALL SCABBING HAS NATURALLY FALLEN OFF, apply one drop of Li-FT® Heal Care Oil 3 to 4 times throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks, or until next lightening session. DO NOT start applying Li-FT® Heal Care Oil until all scabbing has naturally and completely fallen off. It is our goal to keep the area as dry as possible until all scabs have naturally fallen off. (If you do not have Li-FT® Heal Care Oil, Vitamin E oil can be used as a substitute. 

• Avoid getting any dirt, dust or dander in the open wound

• NO EXERCISING FOR 10 DAYS…NO EXCEPTIONS. DO NOT DO ANY ACTIVITY THAT CAUSES SWEAT IN THE AREA OF THE PROCEDURE OR YOUR FACE TO HEAT UP AND TURN RED. STAY OUT OF THE SUN!  KEEP IT PROTECTED AND KEEP IT CLEAN! TLC FOR YOUR NEW PROCEDURE.

• During your healing process DO NOT expose your new procedures to chemicals, hot tubs, saunas, direct shower spray, hot water, salt water, chlorinated pools, lakes, or ponds. Direct sun exposure and tanning beds should be avoided indefinitely….both are counter-productive to the cosmetic procedure.

• Absolutely NO topical makeup on the healing procedure(s) for a minimum of 5 days. Topical makeup is bacterial and your new procedures(s) need adequate time to heal to avoid irritation and/or infection. You may apply your makeup around the new procedure area but avoid applying ON the healing areas.   

• No tweezing or waxing the eyebrows for 10 full days. NO FACIAL, PEELS OR ANY OF THAT FACE STUFF FOR TWO FULL WEEKS!

• Some tenderness, puffiness (even bruising), redness, and itching is quite normal for the tattoo healing process. DO NOT PICK, PEEL, OR SCRATCH the treated area as this could result in your color healing uneven, as well as the risk of scarring and infection.

• It is important to the process and integrity of the skin that 8 full weeks of healing take place before another lightening session can be done. No exceptions

• Lightening unwanted pigment is a long process and patience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a saline lightening product or laser.  Please be patient and give the process a fair chance to work.  Expect visible and wanted results in 2 to 5 sessions.  How many sessions needed will depend on how saturated the pigment is, how deep it was implanted and how much needs to be lightened for the desired result.  In many cases only a percentage of the pigment needs to be lightened and then we can continue the correction process by color correcting or color shifting.  In those cases where we have pigment misplaced or in an unwanted area, color correcting will not be an option and lightening as much of the pigment as possible will be our ultimate goal.

• Results cannot be foreseen, predicted or guaranteed. 

Brows will be very red when leaving and will take up to 48 hours to settle down. 

Do not stress or over think the healing process. They will heal and complications are extremely rare.
