This can increase pain and bleeding which affects retention.

• We prefer to clean up your brows at your initial appointment so that we can include as much natural hair as possible, especially if you’re wanting to change your shape. You may clean up your brows for the perfecting session. However, if you do decide to wax your brows, it should be done at least 1 week before your appointment.

• Please do NOT tint your brows prior to your procedure

• Cold sores are a risk to Permanent Lip Cosmetics. If you have had a cold sore in the past, we advise you to go to the doctor for an antiviral medication before any lip procedure, to help avoid an outbreak. Even if you have not had a cold sore before, we recommend all of our clients take an antiviral medication ( prescribed by your PCP) 2 weeks before the appointment and 2 weeks after the appointment to reduce the risk. You can also pick up Abreva, an over the counter treatment for cold sores to use after the Permanent Cosmetic procedure.
