Precare:
Skin should be healthy and free of any irritation.
Bleeding and swelling during the treatment can affect results, please avoid any blood thinning medications 72 hours before our appointment and any alcohol or excess amount of caffeine within 24 hours of our appointment.
Swelling is normal and should be expected and can last for a few days for some clients, please schedule your appointment accordingly.
If you suffer from coldsores this will trigger an outbreak and you'll need to take valtrex for three days before and after your appointment.
Aftercare:
Immediately after your appointment I recommended wiping your lips every 30 minutes or so with water in order to remove excess lymph and reduce scabbing, wash your lips well before bed with gentle soap and warm water, pat dry with a paper towel and apply aquaphor.
Healing time is very quick and easy, just a keep a thin layer of Aquaphor on the area. Your lips may feel swollen and slight bruising may occur. Keep moisturizing with Aquaphor as needed, some flaking or peeling may occur, similar to experiencing a chapped lip.
Color is bright for the first few days then settles in and softens.
Keep the tattooed area away from cosmetics for the next 7 days.
Refrain from using saunas and swimming pools, excessively sweating or sunbathing.
