LIP AFTERCARE

• Keep the area MOISTURIZED. Use Aquaphor as an after care healing ointment. Gently apply every hour or two or when you feel tender, itchy or dry for 10–14 days.

​

• Avoid eating spicy and salty food. Use straw to drink for the first a few days. Salt can remove the pigments and cause color loss

​

• Keep the area CLEAN. Use moistened cotton balls to gently wipe away excess fluid and pigment.

​

• Avoid soaps/facial cleansers on pigmented areas (wash around them) pat dry with a clean towel.

​

•  DO NOT rub, scratch or pick any crust along the tattooed area. Early removal of pigment crusts may result in lost color.

​

• DO NOT apply makeup on the pigmented area during the healing process.

​

•  Avoid swimming, soaking, steam bath and facials for the 1 st week.

​

• Avoid applying Exfoliates or AHA/glycolic acid products to the tattooed area for at least 2 weeks.

​

• Avoid sun exposure (including tanning beds) during healing process.​​

​

• If you have a history of cold sores/fever blisters/herpes on or around your lips, you MUST obtain prescription ZOVIROX/VALTREX from your doctor. Start prescription 3 days before and 5 days after procedure (or follow the doctor’s instruction). Failure to take this anti-viral medication may result in an outbreak which will cause color loss and patchy healing
