PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT

Before your Appointment:

1 Month Preparation:

  • No Botox

  • No Chemical Peels

  • No Laser Facials

  • No Fraxel, C02, and IPL laser treatments

  • Avoid tanning (sun and tanning beds)​

Your lips cannot be dry for the appointment. You may exfoliate 3 days before your appointment to remove any dry skin. You can use a lip scrub or create your own using a little honey and brown sugar OR brown sugar & coconut oil. For the week before you appointment moisturize your lips with ( aquaphor or laneige lip mask) as much as possible.

24 Hours Preparation:

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior to appointment

  • Do not exercise the day of the procedure

  • Do not tan or have a sunburned face

  • Do not take any medications that can cause blood thinning such Aspirins, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, or Ibuprofen and etc. within 24 hours before the procedure

*Clients to moisture their lips using a lip conditioner, mask or balm every day leading up to the appointment, so your lips will be in great shape. DRY LIPS = bad results. Dry/chapped lips will tear the lips and the pigments will not penetrate efficiently.


* IMPORTANT*
Cold sores are a risk of lip blush tattoo. If you have had a cold sore in the past- we advise you to go to the doctor for an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure, to help avoid an outbreak. Even if you have not had a cold sore before- I recommend all of my clients take L-lysine 2 weeks or Valtrex 5 days before before the appointment and 2 weeks following the appointment to reduce the risk.

After Care

Day of only:

Before bed, wash lips gently with sterile water (boiled water cooled down to lukewarm to room temperature), pat dry, and apply healing ointment.

Day 2-7:

  • Apply healing ointment every morning and night until lips heal (approx. 1-2 weeks).

Do not allow lips to become dry!

  • No lip makeup for 1 week (other than healing ointment)

  • No scratching, picking, licking of dry or flaking skin

  • No spicy, greasy, salty, or oily foods for 48 hours

  • No kissing, smoking, rubbing, causing irritation

  • No extreme sweating for 5 days

  • No swimming pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water 7 days

  • No UV exposure (sun, tanning beds) for 10 days

  • Try to drink out of straws.

Long Term Aftercare:

  • Keep your lips moist with Vitamin E oil or aquaphor

  • Do not let the area dry out completely, this can cause cracking and scabbing.

  • Do not expose area the area to direct sun and tanning beds, this can fade the pigment prematurely

  • Do not eat citrus fruits , juices, greasy, salty, oily, or spicy food until your lips have healed.

  • Do not whiten/ bleach your teeth while your lips are healing.

  • Clients wanting to do botox or lip fillers, they must wait 4 weeks post-procedure

  • Clients undergoing a MRI or laser treatments, they must inform the technician of cosmetic tattoo procedures. Laser procedures may darken/lighten or distort pigment of lip color.

  • No exfoliants, retinol acids, glycolic acids, and alpha hydroxy acids on the area for a minimum of 30 days as it may cause premature fading. Always wear SPF while in the sun, sun exposure also causes premature fading.

    What to expect:
    Lips will feel swollen and very dry after your treatment. Apply ointment on lips several times a day. This should be done for at least 14 days post treatment. Do not allow lips to become dry. Always use a clean Q-tip, to avoid infection do not use your fingers to apply ointment to the lips area.

    After lips are no longer tender to the touch they may become flaky. This is normal and is expected. Please do not pick or scratch at them. Avoid the sun and tanning beds pre and post procedure. Be sure to use a sun block once lips are healed. Do not use any Glycolic, Hydroxy or fruit acid products on lips. Avoid direct water pressure, pools and other bodies of water, until healed. You can resume wearing lipstick once lips are healed. Redness, swelling, tenderness, dryness are all common post treatment side effects and will dissipate in a short period of time. Avoid oily, salty, acidic foods and alcohol while healing.

    Lips are unpredictable touch ups may be required to complete the service. Results vary on an individual basis. Clients with sun damage, scar tissue (from injury or fever blisters) and clients with implants may not have optimal results. Hyperpigmentation can happen on any lip client without warning. If you have a history of Fever Blisters, Cold Sores or Chicken Pox, we advise you to go to the doctor or for an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure, to help avoid an outbreak. Follow all before and after instructions after all lip treatments. Lip retouch must be scheduled 6-8 weeks apart from initial season to help with color retention.

    Lips heal in three stages: Too dark - Too light - Just right. This takes one month to happen. Please avoid any friction to lip area.
