Preparing For Your Permanent Makeup Procedure with Sally Hayes

 tattoo ink There are steps you need to take in preparing for your permanent makeup procedure(s), so it may be wise to prepare in advance of your consultation with Sally Hayes.  Many of Sally’s clients are so enthusiastic and excited about having their procedures done that they often request to set an appointment as quickly as possible.  If you haven’t prepared your skin and body in advance, it may delay your ability to have permanent makeup applied for several days.

 

  Sally advises her clients to prepare for their permanent makeup procedures by doing the following:

• Do not use any blood thinners one week (seven days) before the procedure. This includes aspirin and other medications such as Advil, Ibuprofen, Excedrin, Coumadin, Warfarin, in addition to some supplements such as fish oil, magnesium, vitamin E, etc.


• Avoid caffeine and alcohol.


• Vitamin K supplements may help your skin to heal faster and help to avoid bruising, which can cause poor overall results in some cases.  Arnica may also assist in the healing process to help avoid bruising and swelling.


• If you have a history of cold sores, fever blisters, etc., you will need to take the proper medication before and after your permanent makeup procedure for your lips.  Talk to your doctor about taking Oil of Oregano or Lysine.


• Stop using facial lotions containing mineral oil, alpha-hydroxyl, glycolic products, Renovo, Retain A, or Accutane for the week prior to your appointment and for two weeks after your procedure.

Always make your permanent makeup artist aware of any medications you are taking, and also check with your physician concerning any prescriptions they have prescribed to see if they should be stopped, or if you should delay the procedure until you have finished taking them.
