PRE-TREATMENT INFORMATION

BEFORE YOUR COSMETIC TATTOOING APPOINTMENT...

Face Co offers a range of expert Cosmetic Artistry techniques, each technique will be explained to you in great detail at the time of your appointment or consultation. Your artist will make recommendations based on your personal desires and features, however, the decision is ultimately up to you. Prior to proceeding with any treatment, your artist will draw, shape and measure your design and find a colour match to best suit you. We ensure you play a massive role in designing your new brows, lips or liners, however, we are always there to guide you and advise you with expertise on what will achieve the best and most natural outcome. Please see below our pre-treatment considerations and contraindications to Cosmetic Tattooing services. If you have any questions please get in touch to discuss further.

Please exfoliate your lips the night before your appointment.

Please sleep with a nourishing lip balm on your lips such as Paw Paw or Bepanthan the night prior to your appointment.

If you have a history of cold sores, it is essential to see your health consultant at least 4 days before your appointment and request preventative treatment.

Ensure the lip area is not sun or wind burnt, chapped or too dry

Please avoid caffeine in the hours leading up to your appointment.

Please avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment

BROWS

You may tint/wax/tweeze your brows up to 1 week prior to your appointment.

Please avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to your appointment

Please avoid caffeine prior to your appointment

Gently exfoliate the area for up to 3 days prior, ensure the skin is well nourished.

Do not use any brow-enhancing serums for at least 30 days before treatment

You will be advised not to wet your brows for 5 days following treatment, I recommend washing your hair the night before.

EYES

Do not use any lash enhancing serums for 30 days prior to your treatment.

If you wish to have your lashes tinted, do so 1 week prior to your treatment.

Do not get the lashes tinted within 5 days of treatment.

No lashes extensions at the time of your treatment.

If you wear contact lenses ensure they are removed and bring your glasses.

Avoid eye makeup at the time of your appointment.

Please avoid caffeine prior to your appointment

Please avoid alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment.

THINGS TO AVOID AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

Avoid saturating your brows with water for 7-10 days post treatment.

Avoid spa's, saunas, skin/facial treatments for a minimum of 2 weeks post treatment

Avoid exercise for 7 days post treatment - the saline produced from your sweat can affect your healed result.

Avoid active ingredients such as (AHA's, BHA's, Retinol, Vitamin A) on/ or close to the treatment area. These products can affect your healing process and colour retention.

Your brows may feel itchy during the healing process. It is essential to avoid picking or scratching at the treatment area during this process.

Post eyeliner treatment, ensure the area is kept exceptionally clean. The eyes are a sensitive area and may be more susceptible to infection. It is recommended to apply a fresh pillow case, avoid makeup for 7 days and avoid touching the area post treatment.

Whether it be your brows ,lips or eyeliner, the area is going to look intense for a few days post treatment. Avoid booking your appointment close to any important events to minimise anxiety during the healing process.

ANAESTHETICS

The use of numbing creams in NSW is regulated nationally by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

Your comfort is our priority. We recommend ordering the below medical grade Anaesthetic, to ensure you’ll be totally comfortable throughout your entire treatment with us! We work strictly within legal compliance, so we are unable to supply you with medical grade pharmaceuticals, however, we’ve made it super easy for you to arrange!

To order your anaesthetics please hit the button below and complete the Online Patient Care Checklist.

Do not order more anaesthetic for your touch up appointment, this formulation provides enough product for both of your treatments.
