HELLO GORGEOUS MED SPA®

In the days before

• Avoid blood thinners 24–48 hours prior — no alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E (unless prescribed). They increase bleeding and can dilute pigment.
• Skip caffeine the morning of your appointment — it can increase sensitivity and bleeding.
• No tanning or sunburn for 1 week before. We cannot work on sunburned or freshly tanned skin.
• Pause active skincare — stop retinol, Retin-A, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliants in the brow area for 1 week prior.
• No brow waxing, tinting, or threading for 3–5 days before — let your natural shape show so we can map accurately.
• Botox & filler should be done at least 2 weeks before (or after) your brow appointment.
• Facials, peels, or laser in the area should be at least 4 weeks prior.
• Cold sore history? Ask your physician about an antiviral before brow PMU to help prevent an outbreak.

Day of your appointment

• Eat a good meal beforehand to keep blood sugar steady and avoid lightheadedness.
• Come with clean, makeup-free brows if possible — or arrive a few minutes early to remove makeup.
• Feel free to bring an inspiration photo, but trust the mapping process — we tailor the shape to your face.
• Wear comfortable clothing and plan to relax. The appointment takes time, and that's a good thing.
