AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIP BLUSH?

---

IF YOU ARE PRONE TO COLD SORES YOU WILL NEED TO GET ANTI-VIRALS FROM YOUR DOCTOR AND TAKE THEM 3 DAYS PRIOR & 7 DAYS POST PROCEDURE.

CLIENTS WHO HAVE DARK LIPS MAY NOT BE A GOOD CANDIDATE BECAUSE THE RISK OF HYPERPIGMENTATION IS MUCH HIGHER.

---

PRE-CARE & AFTER CARE FOR LIPS

---

PRECARE

EXFOLIATE LIPS FOR THE WEEK PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT AT HOME USING A DROP OF COCONUT OIL AND SUGAR TO CREATE YOUR OWN SUGAR SCRUB. MAKE SURE THEY ARE USING A LIP CONDITIONER, MASK OR BALM EVERY DAY LEADING UP TO THE APPOINTMENT TO GET THEIR LIPS IN GREAT SHAPE.

AVOID SUN EXPOSURE, BLOOD THINNING MEDICATIONS FOR 48 HOURS - NO ALCOHOL OR CAFFEINE FOR 24 HOURS.

AFTERCARE

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A LARGE AMOUNT OF SWELLING, YOU CAN ICE THE TREATMENT AREA. APPLYING ICE FOLLOWING YOUR PROCEDURE ALSO HELPS TO PREVENT BRUISING.

NO EXERCISE FOR 5-7 DAYS POST PROCEDURE

DURING DAY 1 TO DAY 7 (OR UNTIL THE SCABS ARE GONE)

PLEASE AVOID:

WATER (ON THE PMU AREA) ASIDE FROM CLEANING THEM
MAKEUP
EXCESSIVE SWEATING
SAUNA
POOLS
SUNBATHING
SPICY FOOD
KISSING

DO NOT PICK THE DRY LIPS.
DO NOT APPLY ANYTHING BESIDES AQUAPHOR OINTMENT (NO VASELINE, ANTIBIOTIC CREAMS, POLYSPORIN ETC).

FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE, DO NOT USE CREAMS THAT CONTAIN ACIDS OR INGREDIENTS THAT WILL LIGHTEN OR EXFOLIATE THE SKIN.

TOUCHUPS (IF NEEDED) CAN BE DONE NO SOONER THAN 8 WEEKS AFTER THE ORIGINAL APPOINTMENT.

---

DOES IT HURT?

---

NUMBING LIQUID IS APPLIED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PROCEDURE. EACH CLIENT IS DIFFERENT WHEN EXPERIENCING PAIN LEVEL ASSOCIATED WITH HAIR STROKES OR SHADING. SOME CLIENTS DON’T EXPERIENCE ANY DISCOMFORT AT ALL, AND SOME EXPERIENCE MINOR PAIN, AND SOME MORE. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT SO WE WON’T KNOW YOUR PAIN LEVEL UNTIL WE BEGIN. IF THE PAIN LEVEL IS HIGH, I APPLY THE NUMBING CREAM MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PROCEDURE.

---

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?

---

LIP BLUSH TYPICALLY LASTS UP TO 3 YEARS AFTER THE 6-12 WEEK TOUCH UP! YEARLY COLOR REFRESHERS MAY BE NEEDED!

FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE QUICKER FADING:

+ MEDICATIONS: USING RETINOL OR ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS CAUSE THE SKIN TURNOVER RATE TO INCREASE

+ NOT PROPERLY FOLLOWING POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS.

---

LIP HEALING PROCESS

---

DAYS 1+2: LIP COLOR IS VERY BOLD!

DAYS 3 - 5: LIP COLOR WILL PEEL OFF

DAYS 6 - 40: COLOR WILL DISAPEAR & SLOWLY COME BACK

WEEK 6: LIPS HAVE FULLY HEALED, COLOR SHOULD HAVE COME BACK (30-50% LIGHTER THAN DAY 1)

6-12 WEEK TOUCH UP: WE WILL PERFECT THE SHAPE & COLOR, HEALING PROCESS WILL REPEAT.

---

HOW DO YOU PICK THE COLOR?

---

EACH CLIENT RECIEVES A CUSTOM COLOR THAT I WILL CHOOSE AT THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT. I FACTOR IN YOUR SKIN TONE & TYPE, YOUR DESIRED OUTCOME, & THE TECHNIQUE WE ARE DOING.

WE WILL DO A FULL CONSULTATION AT THE TIME OF THE APPOINTMENT TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT COLOR FOR YOU!
