• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before the procedure. Tanned
or sunburned skin cannot be safely treated.
• Do not apply self-tanners or bronzing products to the treatment area for at least one week prior.
• If you have recently had cosmetic injections (Botox, fillers) in or near the treatment area, wait at least 3 weeks before laser treatment.
• Discontinue use of retinoids, AHA/BHA acids, and exfoliating products on the treatment area for 3 days before your session
• Avoid blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, and fish oil for 24 hours before the procedure unless prescribed by your physician.
• Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and bleeding.
• Avoid caffeine on the day of your procedure to help maintain stable blood pressure.
• If you are taking antibiotics or any photosensitive medications, inform your technician beforehand
• If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex virus) and the treatment area is near the mouth, consult with a healthcare provider. Antiviral medication may be recommended starting 2 days before the procedure.
• Ensure the treatment area is free from cuts, abrasions, active infections, or skin conditions.
• You may be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle. Consider scheduling your appointment outside of this time for increased comfort
• Arrive with clean skin – remove all makeup, lotions, creams, and oils from the treatment area.
• Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area.
• Bring sunglasses if treating facial permanent makeup.
• Eat a light meal before your appointment to maintain energy levels.
• Stay well-hydrated.
The treated area may appear white or “frosted” immediately after the laser – this is normal and will subside within 20–30 minutes.
Redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn are common.
DAYS 1–3:
• Swelling lasts a maximum of 24 hours and redness will gradually decrease.
• The area may feel tender or sensitive to touch.
• The treated pigment may appear darker or more raised temporarily as it moves to the surface of the skin.
• Itching is common during this phase – resist the urge to scratch.
WEEKS 2–8:
• The permanent makeup will gradually fade as your body’s immune system breaks down the ink particles.
• Full results from each session typically become visible 6–8 weeks post-treatment.
• Multiple sessions may sometimes be required, spaced 6–8 weeks apart for complete removal.
