DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL OR CAFFEINE before the procedure (at least 24 hours for alcohol) : it will affect your pigmentation and your skin's sensitivity, thus may hurt more. 

​

DO NOT TAKE ADVIL or other blood thinners such as Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E and/or Ibuprofen unless medically necessary (48- 72 hours prior to your procedure). Extra strength Tylenol can be taken if you have a low pain tolerance. 

​

If you have recently tanned this will affect the outcome of the healed color. 

​

If you've had laser removal of previous work done by someone else, the treated area now has more scar tissue and can affect the outcome of the result. More treatments may be necessary to have the skin take the color. 

​

Botox should be done 1 month before or after the procedure. 

​

Avoid exercising the day of procedure as this will open up the pores. 

​

Please note that you will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle. 

​

Pregnant women can not do this procedure. 

​

Women who are breast feeding must bring a doctor's note of approval upon the appointment.
