Before undergoing a permanent makeup procedure, women do not have to:

1. Shave their eyebrows or any other facial hair: Unlike traditional makeup application, permanent makeup is designed to enhance existing features. Therefore, there is no need to remove or alter natural hair growth.
2. Remove any existing makeup: Permanent makeup artists are trained to work with a clean canvas, and they will remove any makeup or residue on the treatment area before starting the procedure. However, it’s always a good idea to arrive with a clean face to ensure optimal results.
3. Avoid taking prescribed medications: Unless specifically instructed by the artist or a healthcare professional, there is generally no need to discontinue any prescribed medications before getting permanent makeup. However, it’s always advisable to inform the artist about any medications or medical conditions you may have.
4. Refrain from activities or exercises: While it’s a good idea to avoid intense physical activities or exercises immediately before the procedure to minimize any potential swelling, there are generally no strict restrictions on day-to-day activities. However, it’s best to follow the artist’s guidelines for post-procedure care to ensure proper healing.
5. Go through extensive preparation: Unlike some medical procedures, permanent makeup does not require extensive pre-procedure preparation. It’s generally recommended to have a consultation with the artist to discuss expectations, preferences, and any specific instructions they may have. Following their guidance on skincare or product usage may also be suggested.
6. Forego the use of numbing agents: Depending on the artist’s technique and the client’s preference, numbing agents may be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. It’s important to discuss any concerns or preferences regarding pain management with the artist before the procedure.

Remember, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified and experienced permanent makeup artist who can provide personalized instructions based on your specific needs and circumstances. Following their recommendations and communicating openly will help ensure a successful permanent makeup procedure.
