Permanent Makeup consultations are not mandatory before booking an appointment, except if you have had permanent makeup done by another artist in the same area you wish to treat (e.g., eyes). In such cases, a face-to-face consultation is required to assess your suitability for treatment.

Face-to-face or telephone consultations are available for anyone who wishes to discuss the treatment before booking.

The first step of any new Permanent Makeup appointment includes completing a thorough medical consent form, a consultation, and a pre-drawing process. You will have the opportunity to use a handheld mirror and discuss the treatment thoroughly during this stage.

If you have any medical conditions or are taking medications that may affect the treatment, we recommend scheduling a face-to-face or telephone consultation to assess your suitability prior to booking a treatment.

Upon booking the treatment, you will receive an email with full pre- and post-treatment advice to ensure you are well prepared ahead of your treatment.

Full details of pre and post treatment advice will be sent via email upon booking.

• Blood Thinners: Avoid treatment if currently or recently on anti-coagulants, including Aspirin and Ibuprofen. If you are under doctor's direction for these medications - please contact the clinic to cancel your appointment.

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for 48 hours prior to treatment.

• Retinols: Discontinue use of Retinols/Retinal products for 6 months before and after treatment to prevent bleeding and improper pigment healing.

• Health Requirement: You must be healthy before treatment as a compromised immune system will reject the pigment. Please reschedule if unwell.

• Antibiotics: Treatment is not permitted if you are currently or have recently taken antibiotics. Please reschedule if this applies to you.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

• Chemical Peels: No peels for 60 days before and after treatment to avoid quicker fading.

• Consequences of Sun Exposure: Increases sensitivity, pain, bleeding and poor pigment retention.

• Exercise: Avoid exercise on the treatment day to prevent pore expansion.
