Everything You Should Avoid Before Your PMU Appointment

A little prep goes a long way for flawless healed results. Here’s what to avoid before your PMU service:

24–48 Hours Before:
• No alcohol
• No caffeine
• No ibuprofen, aspirin, or blood thinners (unless prescribed)

1 Week Before:
• Avoid tanning or sunburn
• Stop using retinol, AHA/BHA exfoliants, or harsh skincare
• No Botox or fillers in the treatment area
• No brow tinting or waxing

2–4 Weeks Before:
• No chemical peels, microneedling, or lasers near the area

These simple adjustments help prevent bleeding, reduce sensitivity, and ensure the pigment holds beautifully.
