Getting permanent makeup is an exciting step toward enhancing your natural beauty with long-lasting results. Proper preparation is key to ensuring the best possible outcome. At Ink n Beauty in Fort Worth, we guide our clients through every step of the process, including how to prepare for their session. Here’s what you need to know before your permanent makeup appointment.

‍

1. Understand the Procedure

‍

Permanent makeup involves implanting pigment into the skin to enhance features like brows, lips, or eyeliner.

Key Things to Research:

• The specific technique you’re getting (e.g., microblading, lip blushing).
• The expected healing process and aftercare requirements.
• What to expect during and after the procedure.

‍

2. Schedule a Consultation

‍

Before your appointment, schedule a consultation with your artist to discuss your goals, preferences, and any concerns.

What to Ask During Your Consultation:

• Which style or pigment suits my features?
• How long will the results last?
• Are there any specific preparations or restrictions I should follow?

‍

3. Avoid Certain Products and Treatments

‍

In the week leading up to your appointment, avoid the following:

• Retinol or Acid-Based Skincare: These can make your skin more sensitive.
• Tanning Beds or Excessive Sun Exposure: Sunburned skin is more prone to irritation.
• Waxing, Threading, or Plucking: Let your brows or skin remain untouched to ensure the best results.

‍

4. Stay Hydrated and Rested

‍

Your skin’s condition plays a significant role in the final results of your permanent makeup.

Why It Matters:

• Proper hydration improves skin elasticity and pigment retention.
• A well-rested body heals faster and more efficiently.

‍

5. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine

‍

Refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before your appointment.

Why It’s Important:

• These substances can thin your blood, leading to more bleeding during the procedure.
• Reduced bleeding ensures better pigment retention and minimizes swelling.

‍

6. Dress Comfortably

‍

Wear comfortable, loose clothing to your appointment, especially if the session will take a few hours.

Additional Tips:

• Avoid wearing makeup on or near the treatment area.
• Tie back your hair if it could interfere with the procedure.

‍

7. Be Prepared for Aftercare

‍

Proper aftercare is essential for achieving beautiful, long-lasting results. Your artist will provide specific instructions tailored to your treatment.

General Aftercare Tips:

• Keep the treated area clean and dry.
• Apply the recommended ointment as instructed.
• Avoid direct sun exposure and swimming until fully healed.
