PreProcedure Checklist

PRE-PROCEDURE CHECKLIST:
FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS, PLEASE SET A REMINDER TO COME BACK HERE TO READ OVER THE RECOMMENDED INFORMATION IN THE FOOTER OF THIS WEBSITE ON HOW TO BEST PLAN FOR A PROCEDURE.
-
ALLERGY SKIN TESTING:
If you want an allergy skin test, you must schedule it a minimum of 3-5 days prior to your appointment to allow time for any potential reaction to occur. This step may help circumvent a potential allergic reaction, but is not a guarantee that a future reaction will not occur. In all the years that we've been in business, we have not had one client present a problem. However, we know it's possible since there are documented cases of allergic reactions, they are just extremely rare. If you have very sensitive skin or suffer from allergic skin reactions, we welcome you to schedule a complimentary test.
-
EVER HAD A STAPH INFECTION, MRSA, SEPSIS, OR SHINGLES?
We will need a Doctor's clearance in advance of treatment stating that you are able to have your requested procedure. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER HEALTH ISSUES AT ALL, PLEASE DISCUSS THEM WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND PLEASE BRING THEM UP FOR DISCUSSION PRIOR TO YOUR PROCEDURE.
-
PRE-MEDICATION:
IF YOU HAVE ANY ARTIFICIAL JOINTS AND ARE REQUIRED TO PRE-TREAT WITH ANTIBIOTICS PRIOR TO HAVING YOUR TEETH CLEANED, YOU MUST ALSO PRETREAT PRIOR TO PERMANENT MAKEUP AS WELL. Plan to have your medication ready to go on the day of your procedure.
Good general health, proper nutrition, and a good attitude... are ALL integral parts of the healing process. Swelling, edema, bruising, discoloration, scar formation, redness, and the time you take to heal – all are influenced by your diet, especially in the weeks prior to and just following your procedure.

IF AFTER READING THROUGH THE TOPICS, YOU STILL HAVE QUESTIONS. . . PLEASE LET US KNOW AND WE WILL REACH BACK OUT AS SOON AS WE CAN.
BY BOOKING A PROCEDURE AT PERMETIKA, MEANS YOU AGREE:
-
YOU AGREE WITH OUR CONSERVATIVE APPROACH AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS APPROACH IN A PROTECTIVE MEASURE, WHICH MAY REQUIRE MULTIPLE FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT HOLD TOO MUCH COLOR.
-
YOU HAVE READ & UNDERSTAND THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THE LINKS BELOW, AND HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THIS WEBSITE.
-
NOTE: MULTIPLE SESSIONS ARE USUALLY REQUIRED TO REACH A TARGET GOAL. SPECIFIC RESULTS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED BECAUSE WE ARE DEALING WITH A BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM THAT IS AFFECTED BY EVERYTHING WE DO. ALSO, EVERY PERSON IS DIFFERENT. SOME PEOPLE SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THE SUN, WHILE OTHERS NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. SOME HEAL FAST WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS, WHILE OTHERS TAKE MORE TIME TO HEAL. THESE FACTORS, (AND MORE) ALL PLAY A ROLE IN HOW YOUR FINAL RESULTS TURN OUT.
-
Good health, proper daily nutrition, and a good mental attitude all factor into creating the best possible scenario for OPTIMAL RESULTS! Each of these trigger points is heavily influenced by your diet, smoking, and supplements - especially in the weeks just prior to and following your procedure. Poor health and a bad diet can directly affect the amount of edema (swelling) bruising, discoloration, scar formation, redness, and length of healing time.
-
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT OUR PROCESSES ARE CONSERVATIVE TO AVOID BIGGER PROBLEMS.
-
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS ARE NOT FREE. PRICES CAN BE FOUND ON OUR MENU PAGE.
-
YOU ALSO AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCEDURE YOU ARE ASKING FOR.
-
IMPORTANT: Afternoon Appointments may run late. We do respect your time and we know it's frustrating to have to wait. However, we cannot fully anticipate, nor guarantee, when the procedure prior to yours will be finished. Just know that we will give you the same attention that you also deserve when it's your time in the chair.
-
POLICY PAGE: Please read over our company policies thoroughly regarding our cancellation policy, follow-up fees, planning for your procedure, aftercare, and proper healing.
PLEASE HELP US KEEP THINGS LOW STRESS:
-
DO NOT SCHEDULE IMPORTANT EVENTS BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY. SOMETIMES IT'S UNAVOIDABLE THAT WE RUN LATE AND DON'T WANT ANYONE STRESSING OVER THINGS.
-
Most clients are cool calm and collected. If however, you show up with a lot of anxiety it only prolongs the event. Take a few deep breaths and realize that you are in good hands!
-
The first appointment of the day starts at 10:00 am. There is a 30-minute window in which to complete paperwork and ask any final questions as we start the numbing process.
-
Your arrival time is not your START time. Your specialist will start your first procedure approximately 30-45 minutes later to allow for sufficient numbing.
-
Shower in the morning and wash, condition, and style your hair as normal so you can go a few days without washing your hair again.
-
Remember, after cleansing your face - DO NOT USE any Moisturizer on the forehead or temples.
-
You may wear makeup, but you may also come with a clean face too if you choose to.
-
Wear comfortable clothes. Bring a sweater. It can get cold in the office building.
ABOUT BROW PROCEDURES
-
Generally produce minimal pain to no pain.
-
After the first session, the color will be too light.
-
Once healed, we will know more about how YOUR skin reacts to the treatment and can make adjustments at the follow-up session.
-
This is for your protection. Please embrace it!
ABOUT EYELINER PROCEDURES
-
REMOVE LASH EXTENSION at least 3 days prior to eyeliner procedures. If you fail to do this, we will have to reset your appointment and you will have to pay a new booking fee.
-
REMOVE CONTACT LENSES prior to your appointment.
-
Bring a contact lens case with saline and do not reapply your lenses for about 48 hours after an eye procedure.
-
Bring prescription glasses with you to the session. You will need to wear them home after any eyeliner procedure.
-
Eyeliner normally causes more mental anxiety than true "pain". The tickling is far more annoying than "painful".
-
For that reason, you may want to consider taking Antihistamines such as Benadryl before the procedure as it may reduce swelling and help you relax.
-
You may also ask your physician to prescribe Xanax - but you must arrange for transportation. If we feel that your judgment, balance, or speech is compromised in any way, we will cease the treatment and you will have to reschedule your appointment. The fees will be forfeited.
-
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is normally sufficient to control any discomfort or occasional pain due to the procedures.
-
Do not dye or perm eyelashes for 7 days prior to the appointment - refrain for another month following an eyeliner procedure.
-
Do not use an eyelash curler for about 2 weeks after an eyeliner procedure.
-
Eye surgeries??? Be sure to consult with the physician about how long you should wait before having a permanent eyeliner procedure.
ABOUT LIP PROCEDURES
-
If you have ever had (even one) fever blister or cold sore, you should consult your physician a few weeks in advance and get a prescription for an antiviral medication to start taking a few days before, during, and for a few days following your lip procedure. If you fail to do this, you risk an outbreak, which will most likely remove most or all your implanted color!
-
Lips are the most sensitive of all procedures, pain-wise. We stay ahead of the pain as much as possible by applying more numbing cream as needed. Most people are able to tolerate the initial pain. I assure you, I will give you a break as soon as you tell me to and will apply a more numbing gel to help alleviate the pain.
-
Following the procedure, lips will sting a bit and feel sunburned for 12-24 hours.
-
Then feel super chapped for the duration of the initial healing process.
-
Once they peel, they will feel really tender, like baby skin.
-
Continue to keep moisturized.
-
LIPS ALMOST ALWAYS TAKE 2-3+ SESSIONS FOR COMPLETE COLOR. This is a highly active area and the color is easily lost on some people.
-
Darker Lip Color could take 4-5 sessions, or more.
FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS:
-
FOLLOW-UP WORK IS NOT FREE. PRICES CAN BE FOUND ON OUR MENU PAGE.
-
MULTIPLE FOLLOW-UPS MAY BE NECESSARY OR YOU ONLY MAY NEED ONE. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.
-
Schedule Follow-ups at twelve (12 ) week intervals, following the date of your initial procedure. This keeps the application dates on track.
-
2-3 Weeks prior to your follow-up, check your permanent makeup. If you feel that everything is ok, and you'd rather wait a while, (or if something else comes up) you may reset your appointment.
-
You may change, your date up to one (1) week prior to the date of your next visit. If you need to postpone, just search your emails for "Permetika" to find your most recent confirmation email. You will find a link there to reset your appointment.
PHOTOS
-
Mandatory Before and After photos will be taken for your client file.
-
Your consent form will give you the opportunity to accept or decline the use of your photos on our website, in marketing & training material.
-
We can make your photos "private" but you must request that we make your photos CONFIDENTIAL.
SANITATION, STERILIZATION & SAFETY
-
From the moment we start, you will observe our strict attention to sanitation guidelines throughout the duration of your service. ONLY DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS ARE USED FOR YOUR PROCEDURE. ALL NEEDLES ARE PRE-STERILIZED, ONE-TIME USE FOR YOUR HEALTH AND WELL-BEING!
-
After each procedure, surfaces are wiped down with virucidal/germicidal agents and draped with plastic barriers. Disposable gloves are worn and changed any time we need to leave our work area or handle a device or product that's not on the work tray. Following each procedure, disposable parts are inserted into properly labeled containers for proper disposal. All waste material is wrapped up in plastic and properly disposed of.
Pain, Anxiety & Medications
Pain thresholds are totally different from client to client. Some feel more than others, but the sensation ranges from a plucking feeling, vibration, scratching, but it's rarely unbearable. We prep our client's brows with topical numbing cream throughout the entire process to dull the discomfort. If you have low pain tolerance, it's best if you apply numbing cream for 30-60 minutes beforehand.
-
BY TEXAS STATE LAW, a cosmetic tattoo studio is only allowed to administer Lidocaine at 4% or less without a Medical Director, however, stronger topical applications may be available to you over the counter or online.
-
You may also ask your physician to prescribe a stronger topical that you can apply prior to your procedure.
-
DO NOT RISK APPLYING TO EYELIDS! If the numbing cream reaches the eyes it will burn and could cause a corneal abrasion if it is not flushed properly and immediately.
-
NEVER take sleeping pills prior to your procedure! They will NOT help you "relax"! While you might become sleepy, you could also become combative... and start swatting me away from your face in your sleep. Trust me on this. It happened! In the best interest of the client, I actually had to terminate the procedure and drive her home. TRUE STORY!
-
IF YOU TAKE ANYTHING FOR ANXIETY, YOU MUST BRING SOMEONE WITH YOU OR ARRANGE FOR TRANSPORTATION HOME.
