Pre-care in permanent makeup is essential for preparing the skin and body for optimal pigment retention and a smooth healing process. Following pre-care instructions—such as avoiding alcohol, caffeine, blood thinners, and certain skincare products—helps minimize sensitivity, bleeding, and swelling during the procedure. Well-prepared skin allows the artist to work more precisely, resulting in better color saturation, cleaner lines, and more predictable results.
Proper pre-care also reduces the risk of complications and ensures the longevity of the permanent makeup. Avoiding sun exposure, chemical peels, retinol, and exfoliants before the appointment helps prevent excessive irritation or compromised skin. By taking pre-care seriously, clients support faster healing, improved comfort during the treatment, and a more beautiful, long-lasting outcome.
