Before your PMU appointment: five rules

What you do in the week before affects how well the pigment settles.

No tanning or strong peels on the area for two weeks, and stop retinol a week before.

Skip alcohol and extra coffee the day before — they increase bleeding and the pigment holds worse.

Come with your usual brows or lips so we can see what you like — and tell us about any medication.
