What to Expect:

Your Micropigmentation Journey

Everything you need to know before, during, and after your treatment, so you feel confident, prepared, and excited for your transformation.

From your first consultation to your final follow-up, this guide walks you through each step of your PMU journey with complete clarity and care.

Before Your Treatment

Proper preparation ensures the best possible results and healing. Here's what you need to do before your appointment:

  • Avoid any facial treatments, chemical peels, or laser procedures in the treatment area

  • Stop using retinol, AHA/BHA products, or any exfoliating skincare on the treatment area

  • No eyebrow tinting, waxing, threading, or lamination

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications (consult your doctor first) such as aspirin or ibuprofen

  • No alcohol consumption 24-48 hours before treatment

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and do not sunburn the treatment area

Day of Treatment:

  • Arrive with a clean face, no makeup on the treatment area

  • Eat a good meal beforehand to keep your blood sugar stable

  • Avoid caffeine as it can increase sensitivity

  • Bring sunglasses if having eyeliner treatment

  • Wear comfortable clothing

Your Consultation

Your consultation is where we create your perfect look together. This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation designed entirely around you.

What Happens:

  • We'll discuss your lifestyle, health and beauty goals, and what results you want to achieve

  • I'll assess your natural features, bone structure, skin type, and colouring

  • Together, we'll design the shape, style, and colour that enhances your unique beauty

  • I'll walk you through the entire process, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel completely comfortable

  • We'll take before photos for your records

  • You'll have time to review the design and make any adjustments, nothing proceeds until you're 100% happy.

  • I'll apply a patch test behind your ear of the pigment we selected and numbing cream, which needs to be left for 24 hours.

Remember: This is bespoke artistry. Every face is different, and your treatment plan will be tailored specifically to you.

During Your Treatment

Step 1: Numbing

Before we begin, I'll apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area. This sits on the skin for 20-30 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Most clients find the treatment far less uncomfortable than expected.

Step 2: The Treatment
  • I'll work meticulously, creating each stroke or application with precision

  • You can take breaks whenever you need, your comfort is my priority

  • Eyebrow treatments typically take 2-2.5 hours

  • Eyeliner treatments take 1.5-2 hours

  • Lip treatments take 2-2.5 hours

  • Throughout the process, additional numbing agents are applied to keep you comfortable

Step 3: Immediate Aftercare

Once complete, I'll clean the area, apply a protective balm, and walk you through your personalised aftercare instructions. You'll leave with an aftercare kit and my contact details for any questions during healing.

Aftercare: Eyebrows & Eyeliner (Dry Healing Method)

The first 10-14 days are crucial for optimal results. Follow these steps carefully:

Days 1-7:

  • Keep the area DRY, no water, cleansers, or products on the treated area

  • Gently blot away any lymph fluid with a clean tissue if needed

  • Do not pick, scratch, or rub the area as it heals and flakes

  • Avoid sweating, so this means, no gym, saunas, steam rooms, or hot yoga

  • Sleep on your back with a clean pillowcase (change it daily)

  • No makeup on or around the treated area

Days 7-14:

  • Continue avoiding makeup, excessive moisture, and touching the area

  • Flaking is normal, so please let it fall off naturally

  • The colour will appear darker initially, then lighten to almost nothing as it heals

Weeks 2-4:

  • You can gently return to normal skincare routines

  • Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinol directly on the treated area

  • The true colour will emerge as healing completes

What's Normal:

  • Initial darkness or redness

  • Mild swelling

  • Flaking and itching

  • Colour appearing patchy or uneven during healing, but this is temporary

Aftercare: Lips (Moist Healing Method)

Lips require a different approach to healing. Keeping them moisturised is essential.

Days 1-14:

  • Keep lips MOIST at all times so make sure you apply the provided aftercare balm every 1-2 hours

  • Avoid spicy, salty, or acidic foods that may irritate

  • Drink through a straw to minimize contact

  • Do not pick or peel, let any flaking come off naturally while keeping lips hydrated

  • Avoid kissing, sharing utensils, or putting anything unclean near your lips

  • No lipstick, lip gloss, or other lip products during healing

Days 7-14:

  • Continue moisturising regularly

  • Lips may feel tight, dry, or chapped, this is normal, keep applying balm

  • Colour may appear uneven or patchy or almost appear completely gone, it will settle

Weeks 2-4:

  • Gradually reduce balm application as lips fully heal

  • You can return to wearing lipstick once completely healed (around day 14)

What's Normal:

  • Significant swelling in the first 24-48 hours

  • Initial bold, dark colour that lightens considerably

  • Flaking, peeling, and dryness

  • Uneven colour during healing

Your 4-6 Week Follow-Up Appointment

This appointment is essential and included in your treatment package.

Why It Matters: By 4-6 weeks, your skin has fully healed and the true colour has settled. This is when we assess the results and make any necessary adjustments.

What Happens:

  • We'll review how your skin has retained the pigment

  • I'll refine the shape, density, or colour as needed

  • We'll perfect any areas that may have healed lighter

  • This is your opportunity to make tweaks this could be, slightly bolder brows, a more defined liner, or richer lip colour

The Result: Your perfected, beautiful, long-lasting results that enhance your natural beauty effortlessly.
