BAD GIRL BROWS
Before Your Appointment
Please review these guidelines before your appointment to help prepare your skin for PMU and support the best possible healing.
01 — 24 HOURS BEFORE
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and limit caffeine on the day of your appointment.
Avoid non-prescribed aspirin, ibuprofen, or supplements that may increase bleeding when possible. Never stop prescribed medication without medical advice.
Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep the night before.
02 — BROW PREPARATION
Avoid trimming, shaving, plucking, waxing, or threading your brows for as long as possible before your appointment.
Avoid brow tinting or lamination for 1 month.
03 — SKINCARE
Avoid retinol/retinoids, AHA/BHA, scrubs, and exfoliants around the brows for 2 weeks.
The brow area must be fully healed and free from redness, peeling, excessive dryness, irritation, or sensitivity.
Do not stop prescription skincare without medical guidance.
04 — FACIAL, LASER & COSMETIC TREATMENTS
Facials, lasers, and skin treatments are fine if the brow area is completely avoided. If the brow area has been treated, wait until the skin is fully healed.
Botox does not prevent PMU, but forehead Botox may temporarily affect brow position or symmetry.
After surgery involving the eyes, nose, forehead, temples, or surrounding areas, including LASIK/LASEK, please wait at least 3 months.
05 — HEALTH & MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Please wait until you are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding before having PMU.
Please consult your healthcare provider before PMU if you have keloid or abnormal scarring, diabetes or impaired healing, a bleeding or clotting disorder, or immunosuppression.
PMU may not be suitable if you have a history of severe reactions to tattoo pigments or topical anesthetics.
06 — PLEASE WAIT IF…
Please postpone your appointment if you have:
An active infection or illness
Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, rash, wounds, or irritation around the brows
Active acne in the treatment area
Sunburned, peeling, or damaged skin around the brows
A recent brow-area procedure that has not fully healed
Your skin should be healthy, intact, and calm on the day of your appointment.
