• Remove any piercings obstructing the area to be treated.

• Do not exercise on the day of your service

• Avoid caffeine, alcohol, vitamin E, Advil, and ibuprofen for 24 hours prior.

• Do not take fish oil or CBD oil for 1 week prior.

• Do not have electrolysis, laser hair removal, or any waxing done in the area within 1 week prior in case of burning/irritation.

• Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds/booths for 2 weeks prior (we cannot work on sunburnt skin).

• Do not have botox or fillers done within 2 weeks prior.

• Do not use retinol or retin A products on the face within 3 weeks prior.

• Take extra precautions 2 weeks prior to ensure there will be no broken skin or lesions in the area to be treated.

• If you are on an aspirin regimen, please speak with your doctor about possibly taking a break for the 2 weeks leading up to each service (initial and touchup). If possible, this will mean a much better healed result. If you’re unable to take a break, we can still perform the service, but may have to alter it and cannot guarantee optimal results.

• Do not schedule any spa-grade peels within 6 weeks prior.

• Brow growth serums: You must be “off” prescription serums for 4 weeks prior to your service, and off over-the-counter serums for 2 weeks prior. To protect your investment, do not continue using brow growth serums until 4 weeks after your touchup.

First 24 hours: blot with gauze as needed. Do not soak with water. Next day, gently wash area with gentle cleanser morning and night. Do not scrub, wipe, or scratch. 48 hours after procedure: Apply thin layer of ointment supplied to you 2x/day for 2 weeks.

Do NOT Pick, scratch, sweat, or wear makeup. Avoid directYsun, and do not submerge in water for two weeks.

You may experience minor redness, swelling and/or bleeding on procedure day. Initially, the color will appear brighter or darker but will get lighter and more natural looking with each passing day. Some people experience disappearance. It’s part of the healing. They will come back. Follow the aftercare. Your brows will start to peel anywhere between 4-7 days and will look more as intended throughout the following weeks.

You may resume normal activities immediately except what is advised to you at your appointment regarding aftercare. Such as, sweating, sun tanning, and exfoliating.

It is important that you follow the aftercare procedure that is given to you at the time of your appointment for the best results.

PMU is sometimes referred to as semi-permanent makeup. This can cause a lot of confusion! It’s permanent in the sense that it can’t be washed or exfoliated away. Anytime pigment is placed under the skin, and lasts more than 6 weeks, it’s considered to be permanent/tattooing. However, it’s semi-permanent in the way that it will fade over time and need refreshing. For some clients it may fade away completely, and for others it may not. At FIGO Beauty, we refer to it as “permanent,” because we want our clients to see it as a lifelong commitment.

Every client's results may vary, but it can last anywhere between 1-3 years.

A follow up appointment 8-12 weeks after the initial service is required. Your first touch up will help prolong the life of the color. After your first initial touch up, you might not need another one for a year or more. Depending on skin type, lifestyle, and color retention.

Daily activities such as workouts, sun exposure, face exfoliating can cause the brows to fade faster.

• Allergies to dyes and/or numbing agents: Please make us aware of any allergies upon booking.

• Uncontrolled hemophilia

• HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, lupus, any immune disease/disorder, active staph/MRSA infections, and uncontrolled blood pressure issues: We do not anticipate desirable healed results when any of these concerns are present, and we cannot ensure that this will be a safe procedure for those with compromised immune systems.

• Acutane usage within the last year: The skin will be too thin/delicate to achieve a desirable healed result.

• Current antibiotic use

• Active psoriasis/eczema breakouts within 1” of the area to be treated

• Current steroid use

• History of keloid scarring after even minor injuries

• Pregnancy and/or breastfeeding: As tattoo inks/pigments are not regulated by the FDA, we cannot assume responsibility for the effects that they may have on non-consenting minors. additionally, anytime the skin is broken, there is a risk of infection. we cannot risk the transmission of a infection to an unborn or newborn baby. and finally, we cannot use numbing agents on pregnant/breastfeeding clients. Numbing agents not only make these services comfortable, but are typically necessary for us to create the best work possible.

*Anyone on Chemo or Radiation therapy

The following medical conditions require a doctor’s note for us to perform service:

• Epilepsy

• Diabetes

• Current or completed chemotherapy treatments (within the last 2 years)

• Artificial heart valves

• Heart, blood, and/or liver disorders/diseases

Tattooing of any kind is considered to be totally safe, so long as:

1. It’s done in a properly licensed facility by a licensed and insured artist.

2. It’s not done on clients who are not considered good candidates (see medical FAQs).

3. Proper before and aftercare instructions are followed closely.

Scarring can occur one of two ways: during your appointment or after. If your artist is properly trained, skilled, and using an appropriate technique on you, the risk of causing scarring during your appointment is very low. However, scarring can easily be caused during the healing process if aftercare is not followed, for example: if a client was to pick or scratch at their new PMU.
