Doctor’s Approval Needed

Skincare Restrictions

⚠️ If you’re using Vitamin C, Retin-A, Retinol, Tretinoin, Glycolic Acid, AHAs, BHAs, or medical-grade skincare, stop immediately.

• You must stop all active products for a full three weeks before your appointment.

• This restriction applies to your entire face, not just the brow area — these ingredients penetrate under the skin and still affect healing.

• These products thin the skin and increase sensitivity, which can cause poor retention, excessive bleeding, scarring, and long-term damage.

• Unsure? 👉🏼 If a product claims to brighten, resurface, exfoliate, renew, regenerate, or treat acne or ageing, it probably contains an active ingredient.

Physical Positioning Requirements

Clients must lie flat for the entire procedure without pillows or bolsters, which I cannot accommodate for health and safety reasons. If you experience vertigo or have difficulty lying flat and turning your head comfortably, this procedure may not be suitable. Please contact me before booking to discuss any concerns or possible adjustments.

Additionally, clients must remain still throughout the procedure to ensure accuracy and safety. Those who experience tremors or have trouble staying still may find this procedure challenging. Please reach out in advance if this applies to you. For any questions, please contact Larissa directly.
