Prep & After Care
Tint, Dye & Henna
Prep
- Gently exfoliate 1-week prior to treatment and ensure the skin is well nourished.
- Avoid any waxing services if you are using Roaccutane (within 8-12 months).
Aftercare
- Avoid water exposure on the surface of the treated area for a longer-lasting skin staining effect.
- Use a spoolie to gently brush through your brows daily to ensure you are keeping your brows evenly exfoliated.
Brow Lamination
Prep
- Avoid the following cosmeceutical products on the area for 4-5 days before treatment and 3-4 days after.
- AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Glycolic, lactic acid), Vitamin C, Benzoyl Peroxide, Vitamin A, Alcohol greater than 6%
- Keep brows dry for 24 hours.
- Do not rub or sleep on the brows.
- Do not use any makeup, creams or oils on or near the brows for 24 hours this will ensure the lamination can set.
- Do not excessively exercise or use of saunas for 24 hours.
- Avoid exposure to UV and sunlight for 24 hours.
After the 24 hours has passed, the following aftercare needs to be followed to ensure the lasting effects of the treatment:
- Always brush the brow hairs into place after getting them wet; showering, swimming, sweating.
- Apply aftercare oil every night to second night as necessary.
- Return for a tint/dye appointment at 4 weeks to enhance the colour (if faded).
- Lamination can be performed again every 8-12 weeks, if your hairs still feel laminated at 8 weeks it is advised to wait as re-laminating too early can cause drying of the hairs.
Lash Lift
Prep
- Avoid wearing eye make-up to your appointment.
Aftercare
- Do not get your lashes wet for 24 hours.
- Be sure to avoid using mascara for 24 hours and avoid using a waterproof mascara at all times.
- Avoid rubbing the eyes to prevent lashes from tangling and bending.
- Gently brush your lashes daily to keep them knot free.
- Use a gentle & nourishing eye makeup remover to prevent dehydrating your lashes.
- It is highly advised to purchase our Yumi Biotin Mascara for your take home aftercare, this product will ensure your lashes are nourished long term.
Cosmetic Tattoo
Prep
- You may like to get your brows waxed/tidied 5 or more days prior to treatment.
- Do not tint prior to treatment, we aim to colour match according to your natural tones.
- Gently exfoliate 1-week prior to treatment and ensure the skin is well nourished.
- Repeat the above step every second night until the day of treatment.
- Avoid using Brow growth serums at least 30 days prior to treatment.
- You will be advised to avoid cleansers near the area during healing, we recommend washing your hair prior to your appointment.
- Do come in with an open mind about technique options. After a thorough consultation, we will recommend the most suitable option to achieve your Brow goals.
Aftercare
- Gently clean the area with a damp cotton tip, prior to applying Aftercare product.
- Dab the area with a clean tissue if necessary, to ensure the area is dry.
- Using another clean cotton tip, apply a very thin layer of Aftercare product to the area and allow to dry.
- Remove any excess product with the other end of your cotton tip.
- Repeat this process 1-2 times daily, or as directed.
- Do this before showering rather than after, so that the product can assist with protecting your healing Brows from water.
- Do not saturate the area with water during healing, until the final scabs naturally fall off (1-2 weeks).
- Avoid cleansers on or near the area during healing, once healed be cautious of exposing the area to intensive fading treatments such as; chemical peels, micro-needling, retinols, and cosmeceutical grade products.
- Once healed, minor patchiness in colour may be present. This is normal and will be adjusted accordingly at the touch-up. I recommend wearing brow products to blend these areas until then.
- Return for a touch-up at 4-8 weeks.
