Pre & Post Care Guidelines
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- To ensure optimal results, proper pigment retention, and a comfortable procedure, please follow these
important pre-care instructions: - Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin, vitamin E, alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners for at least 24 hours
prior to your appointment. - Discontinue Retin-A, retinols, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliating products at least 4 weeks before and 2 to 3
weeks after your procedure. - No facials, microneedling, chemical peels, Botox, fillers, or laser treatments within 4 weeks before
your appointment. - Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning 2 weeks prior to your procedure.
- If planning facial surgery (facelift, eyelid surgery, etc.), schedule PMU after fully healed.
Important Notice: Ellys Brows & Beauty is not responsible for changes in brow shape, symmetry, or
pigment retention due to facial surgeries or aesthetic procedures performed after your permanent
makeup service.
Failure to follow pre-care instructions may affect your results and could require additional sessions at
regular maintenance pricing.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
Healing typically takes 2 weeks. Color will appear darker initially and will soften as healing
progresses.
- Do not pick, scratch, or rub the treated area.
- Avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and UV exposure for 2 weeks.
- No swimming, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, or ocean water for 2 weeks.
- Avoid excessive sweating or intense workouts for 2 weeks.
- Gently cleanse 1–2 times daily using mild soap and lukewarm water with clean fingertips only.
- Apply a very thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment as instructed.
- Do not apply makeup, skincare products, or active ingredients until fully healed.
- If the area gets wet, gently pat dry — never rub.
- Avoid chemical peels, Botox, laser, or aesthetic treatments until fully healed.
Proper aftercare is essential for pigment retention and long-lasting results.
