LIP BLUSH AFTERCARE

Day 1: Wipe your lips every two hours with cotton rounds and warm water.

Day 2: Wipe the lips and gently pat dry after eating/drinking. Use a straw for all beverages. Moisturize the lips consistently with Vaseline and reapply after wiping.

First Week: No sweating/gym. Avoid hot tubs, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, public pools and lakes and submerging your face in water.

First 2 weeks: Avoid wearing any makeup on the lips.

First 3 weeks: Avoid hot direct sun.

What to Expect/ What is normal

Days 1-5: You may experience temporary swelling for the first 24 hours. We recommend icing the area intermittently but do not soak the lips. Your lips will chap as the scabs start naturally shedding.

Days 5-9: As the scabs start coming off, they may appear patchy. A tight or itchy feeling is normal.

Day 9-12: The pigment under may look light or milky due to a thin layer of skin. This is completely normal.

Days 12-21: The pigment will “come back” once the thin layer of scar tissue heals and you will see the final result.

Absolutely NO PICKING or SCRATCHING your scabs!

PLEASE READ: If you are prone to cold sores (or have ever had a cold sore) we recommend talking to your Doctor to acquire a prescription antiviral to be taken before and during the healing process. (Even to have it on hand in case you start to feel an outbreak during healing.) Permanent makeup on the lip area can possibly trigger a localized break out of the Herpes Virus if it is dormant in the body already.
