PMU Brows – Pre Care & Aftercare

Our goal is to give you the best possible healed results. Following both your pre and aftercare guidance is essential for pigment retention, skin healing, and overall outcome.

Pre Care – Before Your Appointment

Preparing your skin properly helps reduce sensitivity, minimise bleeding, and improve how your brows heal.

How to Prepare

• Eat a meal before your appointment to keep your blood sugar stable

• Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment

• Get a good night’s sleep so your body is well rested

• Arrive with your usual brow makeup if you wear it — this helps us understand your preferred shape and style

We will design your brows together on the day to suit your face and natural features.

You may tidy up stray hairs beforehand (within the timeframes below), but please do not over-pluck or reshape your brows, as we need your natural shape to achieve the best result.

If you have very light or blonde brow hair, we usually match pigment to your natural colouring.
If you regularly tint your brows and prefer this look, you can tint beforehand — just ensure this is done at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

What to Avoid

24–48 hours before:

• Alcohol

• Caffeine (on the day of your appointment)

• Intense exercise

• Blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed)

1 week before:

• Brow tinting or lamination

• Waxing, threading, or plucking

• Facials, chemical peels, microneedling

2–4 weeks before:

• Anti-wrinkle injections in the brow/forehead area

• Laser or strong resurfacing treatments

On the Day

• Please arrive without numbing cream applied

Aftercare – Healing & Results

Proper aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself and directly impacts your final healed result.

What to Expect

• Brows will appear darker and more defined immediately after treatment

• Mild redness and sensitivity is normal for the first 24–48 hours

• Light flaking or dryness may occur during healing

• Colour will soften by up to 30–50% once healed

Healing typically takes around 7–14 days, with full results visible after 4–6 weeks

Aftercare Instructions

• Keep brows clean and dry for the first 24 hours

• Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the area

• Apply aftercare balm as advised (only a small amount)

• Avoid makeup directly on the brows until healed

• Sleep on a clean pillowcase and avoid pressure on the area

What to Avoid During Healing (7–14 days)

• Water exposure (long showers, swimming, saunas, steam rooms)

• Excess sweating or intense exercise

• Sun exposure and tanning

• Skincare products on the brow area (especially active ingredients like acids or retinol)

Long-Term Care

• Use SPF on the area once healed to prevent fading

• Avoid strong exfoliation over the brows

• Colour boosts sessions are are recommended to maintain results 12-24 months

Important Notes

• Every client heals differently — some areas may fade lighter than others

• A top-up appointment is required to perfect the shape and colour - this is booked with you at your initial treatment and is at an additional cost of £50

• Lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare all affect results

Following your pre and aftercare correctly gives you the best chance of achieving soft, natural, long-lasting brows.

Lip Blush – Pre & Aftercare

Our goal is to give you soft, natural, long-lasting colour. Following both your pre and aftercare guidance is essential for pigment retention, healing, and your final result.

Pre Care – Before Your Appointment

Preparing your lips properly helps improve colour retention, reduce sensitivity, and support smooth healing.

How to Prepare

• Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment

• Keep lips well moisturised — use a balm regularly in the week before

• Gently exfoliate your lips 2–3 days before your appointment (no harsh scrubs)

• Eat before your appointment to keep your blood sugar stable

If you wear lipstick regularly, feel free to arrive with your usual colour — this helps us understand your preferred tone.

We will discuss and customise your lip colour on the day to suit your natural tone and desired result.

Important:
If your lips are very dry, cracked, or not properly prepped, the pigment cannot implant evenly and results will be compromised.
In some cases, if lips are too dry to safely treat, your appointment may need to be rescheduled, and a fee may apply.

Cold Sores & Lip Health

If you are prone to cold sores, lip blush can trigger an outbreak.

• You may need to take an antiviral such as Aciclovir prior to your appointment

• Please consult your GP or pharmacist if you’re unsure

• If you have an active cold sore, your appointment must be rescheduled

What to Avoid

24–48 hours before:

• Alcohol

• Caffeine (on the day of your appointment)

• Intense exercise

• Blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed)

1 week before:

• Lip fillers (allow at least 2 weeks ideally)

• Chemical peels or strong exfoliation around the mouth

• Sunbeds or excessive sun exposure

On the Day

• Please arrive without any numbing cream applied

• Lips should be free from cuts, cracks, or active irritation

Aftercare – Healing & Results

Proper aftercare is essential for colour retention and smooth, even healing.

What to Expect

• Healing results vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare

Following your pre and aftercare correctly gives you the best chance of achieving soft, even, beautifully healed lips.
