PRE-CARE REQUIREMENTS FOR LIPS PROCEDURE

WARNING
::::::::::::::::::::
You are not a candidate* for permanent makeup procedure, if you are:
   – prone to keloid scarring
   – pregnant and/or nursing
   – taking certain blood thinners
*It is your responsibility to disclose this information to NH Permanent Makeup Studio prior to any permanent makeup procedure.

Please reschedule your appointment immediately:
   – if you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, recovering from the cold, flu, or any illness, or are currently taking antibiotics.
   – if you have skin irritation or blemishes within 1 inch of your lips.

If you are prone to cold sores, fever blisters, or herpes, you will need a prescription for antiviral medication (i.e., Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Valtrex, etc.).

Be advised that there is still a likelihood of post procedure flare-ups.
