Before and After-care
for Tattooing session 

Prior to your SPMU treatment
7-10 days before:
  • If you have dry skin, please ensure you are using Vitamin-E cream which hydrate your skin and preventing from being very sensitive. It is beneficial if you arrive with a balanced skin.
  • Make sure you don’t have your eyebrows/eyelashed tinted.
  • If you wear false lashes, please have them removed.
  • If you take blood thinners or Aspirin, please make sure you don’t take them 7 days prior.
 
3-4 days before:
  • Don’t use sunbed otherwise your skin is going to be much drier and sensitive, more traumas for your skin.
  • If you are having treatment on your lips, please care your lips with lip balm to hydrate them. Note: Labello makes them dry not hydrate them.
  • With lip blush treatment: if you have had cold sore (herpex) before, it will likely to come out around 3 days after the treatment. To help minimise a cold Sore outbreak I recommend getting a prescription from your GP for Aciclovir tablets and cream. I recommend taking an anti-viral tablet such as Aciclovir for 3-4 days before your procedure and continue the course for another 4-5 days after the procedure.
 
24 hours before:
  • Sleep and rest well
  • Don’t go out for drinking or having a heavy night.
  • If you wear contact lenses don’t use it 24 hours before and after the eye treatment.
 
On the treatment day:
  • If you wear contact lenses, use your glasses
  • Eat breakfast, don’t fast
  • Do not rush
  • Dress comfortable as you will be here for 2.5-3 hours
  • You can wear makeup if you want

What is happening during SPMU treatment
On the first appointment (which lasts ~ 3 hours) I prefer to give a natural appearance.
During your second treatment (lasts ~1.5 hours) I can add additional color,
length and thickness which happens 6-8 weeks later, but not longer than 3 months.
1/ Anaesthetic (~20-30 mins)
I will clean and apply a topical anaesthetic to the area you’re having a procedure done. If having eyeliner done I will apply this after we go through the paperwork as this happens with your eyes closed.
2/ Paperwork
I will ask you to sign the Medical Consent Form and Treatment Consent Form.
3/ Mini Consultation
Then we are going to focus on discussing your treatment and ensure we are both on the same page and I fully understand what you want so that you leave fully satisfied. We discuss with more details:
  • Shape
  • Color: on the first treatment I would choose a lighter, more natural color and on the second treatment I can always use a stronger, brighter color. Just bear in mind: Straight after the treatment the pigment will look darker and different than what you want for your final look. Once the crust flakes off the color will look 40-70% lighter (lip procedures tend to fade more than eyebrows or eyeliner). No need to worry because on the second treatment I will correct the loss of the color.
For the best if you turn up with your selected treatment area done at home for me to use for color and shape guidance. Other option, to bring a photo of yourself where you are wearing makeup. Also helps if  you bring your eyebrow pencil, lip stick.
 4/ Photographs
I will take some „before‟ photographs for my records. If you are not happy for me to use the photographs in my portfolio, website or social media pages, please select this when you sign the declaration form.
5/ Drawing (~60 mins)
I will use specific measurements and draw the very first template on so we can discuss the further adjustment you wish. Then I will correct the drawing slightly and then we discuss the shape again and again. This might take time, but I am willing to make little changes until we reach the exact look what you have in your mind.
6/ Procedure (~45-60 mins)
I won’t start the “tattooing” until you are 100% satisfied with the temple I have made.
7/ Final clean up and you check
I will clean up all excess pigment, get you to sit up slowly and then I will ask you to look yourself on the wall mirror and if you still find something to adjust I will do it there. As I said earlier, I am going to reach the very final result on the second treatment. The first one is more of a “on the way to get the desired result”.
8/ Photographs
I will take some „after‟ photographs for my records. Please let me know if you are not happy for me to use the photographs in my portfolio, website or social media pages.
9/ Aftercare advice
I will give you the aftercare balm/cream (only for eyebrows and lip treatment) and we are discussing when and how to apply. I will quickly go through the main part of the aftercare and healing process. I will also give you an aftercare information leaflet to take away with you. This leaflet has already sent to you online.
