The first few days after your appointment are crucial to how well your lips will heal and look long-term. The healing process usually takes around 10 days, so please note that tattooed lips after a week still need to be properly cared for and treated hygienically. Following these guidelines will help your lips to heal in a way that reduces loss of ink and maximises how long you can rock your beautiful new lip blush before needing a touch-up.
-
Use a natural aftercare balm hourly or as required to avoid drying for around 10 days
-
Avoid spicy food such as chilli and curry the day of and the day following the treatment. The skin is open and it will hurt!
-
No picking! Picking will cause loss of colour. Your flakes will gently fall off by themselves when they are ready to!
-
No lip filler 4 weeks after your touch up treatment.
-
Avoid hot, sweaty exercise and saunas for 10 days. You can lightly exercise, but nothing that will cause overexertion or extreme sweating whatsoever.
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks after procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors. Any prolonged sun exposure will cause premature fading.
-
Avoid taking long hot showers or saunas for the first 10 days.
-
Avoid swimming, or any kind until your lips have completely healed!
-
Avoid applying any type of makeup to your lips.
