lip blushing

PRE CARE


If you have ever experienced cold sores on your lips, you will NEED to take Valtrex prior to your appointment and bring in a COPY of your prescription. Failure to follow these instructions will result in rescheduling of your appointment. The Valtrex prescription should be taken the day before your scheduled appointment and treatment should be finished as prescribed by your doctor. Subsequent prescriptions will be needed for ANY follow up lip blushing appointments.


**Michal will not be responsible if you failed to disclose your history of cold sores and experience a breakout following the procedure**


1 WEEK PRIOR TO YOUR PROCEDURE, PLEASE START TO HYDRATE LIPS WITH AQUAPHOR OR SIMILIAR. I ALSO RECOMMEND TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AS THIS WILL ASSIST WITH THE HEALING TIME.

AFTER CARE

Proper care following your procedure is necessary to achieve the best results. Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of color is to be expected. The purpose of the touch-up visit is to correct any color or shape issues. Please review the following directions and refer to them as necessary. If during your healing process you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

  • Ice packs protected with a cloth may be applied as necessary to reduce swelling. Sleeping slightly elevated helps alleviate swelling sometimes seen in the morning after facial procedures. Do not use ice packs on lip procedures.

  • Wash your hands before touching any treated area. Cotton-tipped applicators may be used to gently cleanse the eye area. Do not expose the area to dirty or unsanitary conditions. Wearing glasses outdoors is a good way to protect new eyeliner from dust, etc.

  • Some itching is normal. DO NOT PICK, PEEL, OR SCRATCH the treated area or your color may heal unevenly and you risk scarring and infection.

  • No lip product is to be applied for 72 hours (three days) after the procedure on the tattoo area.

  • Do not expose your healing skin to direct shower spray, skin creams, ointments, or lotions other than what you have been instructed to use for at least 3 days following your procedure.

  • Do not expose your healing skin to direct sun, tanning beds, hot tubs (tub bath if body area treated), saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools, or extremely hot water for 2 weeks following your procedure.

LONG TERM CARE

  • Use a good sunscreen daily - even lips require protection. Sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics and may cause irritation even years later.

  • If you are planning chemical exfoliation, or other medical procedure, please inform your physician of your cosmetic tattoo.

  • If you donate blood, once healed, you are able to donate blood as long as you meet all the other basic donor requirements.
