  • Eyebrow Laser Tattoo Removal Pre-Care

    To ensure your treatment is carried out safely and effectively, please follow these pre-care instructions before your appointment:

    • Attend your patch test at least 48 hours before your first treatment and complete your consultaion form.

    • Take an antihistamine on the day of your laser removal treatment to refuse skin irritation.

    • Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds for 2 weeks before your appointment. Do not attend with sunburnt skin or tanned skin.

    • Stop using Retinol, Retin-A, Tretinoin, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other exfoliating skincare products around the brow area for 7 days before treatment.

    • Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, and other laser treatments to the area for at least 2–4 weeks beforehand.

    • Do not wax, thread, or tint your eyebrows for 5–7 days before treatment as this can cause your skin to be more sensitive.

    • Arrive with clean skin and avoid wearing makeup, fake tan, or heavy skincare products around the eyebrows.

    • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment.

    • Limit caffeine on the day of treatment, as it can increase skin sensitivity.

    • Stay well hydrated before your appointment.

    • Inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, medications, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any recent skin treatments.

    • If you have recently had anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers around the treatment area, please let your practitioner know, as your appointment may need to be rescheduled.

    • Following these guidelines will help minimise the risk of adverse reactions and ensure the safest and most effective laser tattoo removal treatment.

  • Preparing your lips properly helps achieve the best healed results and a more comfortable treatment.

    7 Days Before Your Appointment

    • Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

    • Moisturise your lips daily with a nourishing lip balm.

    • Avoid excessive sun exposure, sunburn, and tanning.

    • Avoid chemical peels, laser treatments, or strong exfoliants around the mouth.

    48 Hours Before

    • Avoid alcohol.

    • Reduce caffeine intake on the day of your appointment if possible.

    • Avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E) unless prescribed by your doctor. Never stop prescribed medication without medical advice.

    If You Are Prone to Cold Sores

    Lip blush can trigger a cold sore outbreak. If you have ever had a cold sore, even years ago, we strongly recommend consulting your GP or pharmacist about taking an antiviral medication before and after your appointment. This can significantly reduce the risk of an outbreak affecting your healed results.

    On the Day of Your Appointment

    • Arrive with clean, makeup-free lips.

    • Ensure your lips are well moisturised and not cracked or peeling.

    • Eat a light meal beforehand to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
