Good preparation before a permanent makeup appointment can make a big difference to healing, comfort and final results. At MedAcademy in Crawley we always guide our clients before treatment, but it helps to have everything clearly explained in one place. Whether you are booking brows, lip blush or eyeliner PMU, here is how to prepare properly.
General Preparation Before PMU
Before any permanent makeup treatment, your skin should be in the best possible condition.
- Avoid alcohol the day before your appointment
- Try to reduce caffeine on the day of treatment if you are very sensitive
- Do not use strong acids, retinoids or aggressive exfoliation on the area
- Come well rested and hydrated
How To Prepare For PMU Brows
If you are having eyebrow PMU, avoid overworking the skin before the appointment.
- Do not wax, tint or laminate your brows immediately before treatment unless advised
- Avoid sunburn or irritation around the brow area
- Bring examples of brows you like, but stay open to professional advice based on your face shape
How To Prepare For Lip Blush
Lips need extra attention before PMU to heal well and hold pigment more evenly.
- Keep your lips moisturised for several days before the appointment
- Gently exfoliate dry skin if needed, but do not overdo it
- If you are prone to cold sores, inform your practitioner in advance and follow medical advice
How To Prepare For PMU Eyeliner
For eyeliner PMU, safety and comfort are especially important.
- Do not wear contact lenses to the appointment unless your practitioner says otherwise
- Remove lash extensions if advised before treatment
- Come without heavy eye makeup and avoid irritated eyes
Tell Your Practitioner About Your Medical History
At MedAcademy in Crawley we always ask about medications, allergies and previous treatments. This is essential for safe PMU planning.
- Inform us about blood thinning medication
- Mention any previous PMU, scars or cosmetic procedures in the area
- Tell us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have any health concerns
Good preparation helps your permanent makeup appointment go more smoothly and supports better healing afterwards. If you are planning PMU brows, lips or eyeliner in Crawley, book a consultation at MedAcademy and we will guide you step by step before your appointment.
