Before-care instruction
Please scrub and moisturize your lips a week before your permanent makeup procedure. Dry and chapped lips will prevent you from achieving the desired result.
Although numbing cream or solution is used, clients may still experience sensitivity or discomfort during the procedure. It is normal for the skin to appear red, bruised, and/or swollen afterward.
Refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior to the treatment.
Unless medically necessary, avoid taking blood-thinning substances such as fish oils, herbals, Vitamin E, aspirin, ibuprofen, and do not donate plasma within 7 days before the procedure. Please consult your doctor if necessary.
If you have ever had cold sores (only affecting the lip area), we highly recommend you to contact your therapist before the procedure. The doctor will prescribe you Valtrex or Zovirax. Lysine vitamins and Abreva cream also help to treat herpes without doctor's prescription (we do not require a prescription, but we recommend you to consult a specialist about the correct use).
If you are very sensitive to pain, take Tylenol 30 minutes before your procedure.
Make sure you have no contraindications. You can sign up for lip permanent makeup the month after fillers injection.
After-care instruction
To ensure proper healing and beautiful results for your new lips, it is important to follow these aftercare instructions:
Day 1:
Keep the treated area dry for 24 hours following the procedure and gently cleanse the treated area using clean water. Apply a thin layer of the provided aftercare ointment if your lips may appear dry.
Hot liquids, like coffee or tea, should be avoided for the first 24 hours after the procedure. Drinking through a straw can help minimize moisture on the treated area in the first few days.
Days 2-14:
Apply a small amount of aftercare ointment to the treated area twice a day, using a clean cotton swab. Avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing the area to prevent scarring or pigment loss.
Avoid activities such as swimming, saunas, and hot tubs for at least two weeks. Direct sunlight should also be avoided, as it can cause the pigment to fade.
Refrain from applying makeup or skincare products to the treated area for at least one week. When you do resume using these products, be gentle and avoid rubbing the treated area.
If you experience itching, redness, or swelling, you can apply a cool compress to the area. However, avoid scratching or picking at the treated area to prevent scarring or pigment loss.
During the healing process, your lips may appear dry, flaky, or scabbed. This is a normal part of the healing process, and it is important to avoid picking at any scabs or dry skin to prevent pigment loss.
If you have any questions or concerns about your aftercare, reach out to your artist. Follow-up appointments may be necessary to ensure proper healing of your permanent makeup.
Remember that permanent makeup is a process, and it may take several weeks for the final results to be visible. Be patient, follow the aftercare instructions diligently, and enjoy your beautiful new lips.
