Please arrive with a clean face if possible—though I’m happy to remove makeup for you if needed. To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning supplements and medications like fish oil, aspirin, or ibuprofen for 3–5 days prior (with your doctor’s approval). Staying well-hydrated and avoiding alcohol the night before can also help reduce bruising.

Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for the first 4 hours. Stay upright for 3–4 hours and avoid laying flat or doing strenuous exercise the rest of the day. Results typically begin in 3–5 days, with full effect at 10–14 days. Minor bumps, redness, or a mild headache are normal. A 2-week follow-up is recommended to assess results and make any needed adjustments.
-
Swelling, tenderness, and bruising are common and typically improve within a few days. You can use a cold compress (with light pressure) and Tylenol for discomfort if needed. Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours. Do not massage or press on treated areas unless instructed. Avoid facials, facial massage, or other in-office skin treatments for 2 weeks. Results settle over 1–2 weeks. A 2-week follow-up is recommended to assess results and ensure balance.
-
Massage the treated areas for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days to help evenly distribute the product and support collagen stimulation. Wash your hands before each massage, and after massaging, spray Hyacyn directly on the skin to keep the area clean and reduce the risk of irritation or breakouts. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is normal and should improve within a few days. Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24 hours. Results appear gradually over several weeks. An 8-week follow-up is recommended to assess your progress and determine if an additional vial is needed.
-
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising is common and should improve over the next few days. Avoid excessive facial movement, touching or rubbing the area, and sleeping face-down for at least 24–48 hours. No strenuous workouts or dental work for 1 week. Full collagen-building effects develop gradually over time.

Expect redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn for 1–3 days. Avoid makeup, sweating, and harsh products (like retinoids, exfoliants, or active acids) for 48–72 hours. I highly recommend the Epionce Post-Procedure Recovery Kit ($34)—it’s gentle, effective, and will last through multiple treatments like microneedling and chemical peels. It helps calm inflammation, support healing, and protect your results.

Avoid makeup, skincare products, oils, and exfoliants on the treated area for 24 hours. Do not rub, scrub, or sleep directly on your brows or lashes if possible.

Brush brows and lashes daily to maintain their shape and results. Following these instructions will help maximize the longevity of your tint, brow lamination, and lash lift results.
