COVID-19 Vaccine and Permanent Makeup Update
In the upcoming months, many of us are planning on receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, have already started the process, or have scheduled an appointment in the near future. At Timeless Beauty, we would like to ensure that every precaution is taken so that permanent makeup procedures do not interfere with the vaccination process. Plus, an adverse reaction would difficult to isolate if there is an overlap between the vaccine doses and a permanent makeup procedure.
We consulted leading medical experts in the field, and the recommendation for permanent makeup procedures are as follows:

Make sure to hydrate well in the days leading up to your procedure.
Exfoliate the lips from dead skin in the days leading up to your procedure. Dry lips will not take pigment well and will heal uneven and patchy.
If you have EVER gotten a cold sore, call your doctor and get an oral prescription to take 2 days before and 3-5 after to prevent an outbreak.
Must wait 4 months after lip fillers and 6 weeks after touch-up. It is possible to have poor color retention in lips that have had collagen injections within 4 months, and within a year of Restylane. There is a risk of pigment migration along the lip line if you have had Restylane. I prefer to tattoo lips before you get filler.
Avoid the following herbs and spices 48 hours before procedure: ginger, cinnamon, garlic, black and cayenne pepper.
