What you will notice in the next 7 – 10 days:

All permanent makeup procedures are a two-step process.

We suggest a yearly ‘Color Refresher’ to maintain your procedure color integrity.

Do not allow lips to become dry. This may interfere with healed color. During the day if lips feel dry, apply a liberal amount of ointment. Just tap on skin and do not rub in. 

  • Always use a clean Q-tip, not fingers to apply ointment to the lips area. This will reduce the risk of secondary infection. It is advised to sleep on an old pillowcase. There will be residual pigment coming off the lips for several days that can stain linens. 

  • After lips are no longer tender to the touch they may become flaky. This is normal and is expected. Please do not pick or scratch at them. This may significantly reduce the amount pigment uptake. 

  • Avoid the sun and tanning beds pre and post procedure. Be sure to use a sun block once lips are healed. Do not use any Glycolic, Hydroxy or fruit acid products on lips.

You can resume wearing lipstick once lips are healed. It is advised to use a new lipstick after all lip treatments. Redness, swelling, tenderness, dryness are all common post treatment side effects and will dissipate in a short period of time. Avoid oily, salty, acidic foods and alcohol while healing. 

  • Hyperpigmentation can happen on any lip client without warning. Fever Blisters are a known side effect of all lip procedures. Clients are asked to go to their doctor or dentist for an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure, to help avoid an outbreak. Follow all before and after instructions after all lip treatments. Lip retouch must be scheduled 30 to 45 days apart from initial season to help with color retention. 

  • Lips heal in three stages: Too dark – Too light – Just right. This takes one month to happen. Please avoid any friction to lip area.

  • A scab will develop over the treated area, which is expected to naturally shed within two weeks. Keeping the scab clean and applying Silver Gel as instructed is essential for the healing process.

  • Starting the day after your treatment, gently cleanse the area daily and apply Silver Gel twice daily for the next 10 days. Avoid prolonged sun exposure until the scab has fallen off naturally, which typically occurs within 10 to 14 days.

  • During the healing phase, only use Silver Gel on the treated area. Avoid makeup, lotions, and other topical products until the scab has completely gone.

  • Refrain from picking at the scab, as this can lead to scarring and reduced effectiveness in ink removal.

  • If the treated area is on a limb below the elbow or knee, elevate it for 10 minutes every two hours for the first three days.

  • Once the scab has naturally fallen off, protect the area from the sun and apply a pure zinc oxide SPF. New skin is particularly susceptible to sun damage.
