PRE-APPOINTMENT

  1. Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of bleeding during the procedure.

  2. Avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24-48 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of bleeding.

  3. Avoid caffeine for at least 24 hours before the appointment to reduce sensitivity and discomfort during the procedure.

  5. If you have any medical conditions or are taking any medications, inform your PMU artist or specialist before the appointment.
