Aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, coudamine (the NSAIDs) thin the blood. Stop using 24 hours before treatment (paracetamol can be taken).
-
Stop using blood thinners 24 hours in advance if possible.

Come to your appointment without eye makeup.
Aftercare instructions
PMU
During the application of permanent make-up, the skin is broken, causing a wound. If you take good care of the PMU, it takes about six weeks for the treated skin to heal. You can shower with permanent make-up. Treat the PMU as follows:
-
On the day of treatment and up to 24 hours after treatment, still use all of the above (precautionary instructions) to avoid the risk of rejection.
-
Keep the treated skin dry for the entire period until the scabs are left. this is possible up to 10 days
to last.
-
No eye make-up can be worn during this period.
-
Touch the treated skin as little as possible (wash your hands before taking care of the skin)
-
VERY IMPORTANT: The scabs that form must remain. Early removal of scabs can cause loss of pigment or irritation. There is also (invisible) scar tissue, which makes it more difficult to pigment the skin in these places. This makes for a less attractive result.
-
Do not cover the PMU with tight, soiled clothing. Also, don't cover the PMU with plasters or bandages.
-
It is also important to be careful with direct sunlight. Think of a cap or hat or avoid the sun. The wound is open and if sunlight comes into contact with it, it can cause a pigment discoloration. You have to be careful with sun and solarium for 3 weeks.
-
Sports are not allowed for the first 10 days. Sauna & swimming pool are also not recommended.
-
A permanent advice is to be careful with sunlight, as this will always affect the pigmented skin.
Note: contact your doctor in case of extreme redness, swelling, bleeding, exudate, color change or chronic pain.
Healing process
-
the eyes will be swollen for the first few days after the treatment. This gradually decreases.
-
It is important that you leave the scabs on. do not scratch, pick or remove. This can ensure that because the wound has not yet fully healed, the pigment may have caught less in places where the scabs have been removed prematurely. Shedding can take up to 10 days.
-
In week two it will seem like the pigment has not taken hold properly. This is because the pigment is still deep in the skin layer. The color will come back.
-
The end result is visible three weeks after the treatment. Usually 1 treatment is enough. the result is a natural line between the lashes. softer in color than when it was just put (in that case there is also pigment on the skin instead of just under the skin). Would you still like an extra treatment? then this is possible for an extra €50. Book this in time, because it must take place between 6 to 8 weeks after the first treatment. Otherwise the price will run as touch-up within 1 year.
