Lip Blush Aftercare

LIPS AFTERCARE:

​

Day 1 to 7

• Immediately after your permanent make-up lip blush if you have any weeping of lymphatic fluid you can blot the lips every hour using a clean tissue.

• 6 hours after your permanent make-up lip blush, with clean hands and using a clean cotton pad and either cooled down boiled water or the provided Micro Tonic, wipe the lips firmly 3 times per day followed by the aftercare balm provided applied using a clean cotton bud.

• The aftercare balm can be applied immediately after your permanent make-up lip procedure and as often as needed throughout the day.

• All drinks should be consumed through a straw for 7 to 14 days or until the lips have healed.

• Keep the treated area dry. Do not submerge in water, if the lips get wet pat dry – do not rub.

• Apply the aftercare balm before eating, drinking and brushing teeth.

Day 8 to 14

• Keep the treated area dry for 14 days or until the area has healed. Do not submerge in water, if the lips get wet pat dry – do not rub.

• Continue to apply the aftercare balm as often as needed.

• The lips will be very dry and chapped for up to 14 days, do not pick the area.

• After 14 days, if the lips are still dry and flaky you can continue to use the aftercare balm as often as needed or until fully healed.

POST PROCEDURE – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

After your permanent cosmetics procedure you may experience some swelling and redness, the area may also feel a little sore or tender, this can last up to 4 days.

​

• Keep the treated area clean.

• Directly after your permanent make-up procedure the treated area is 30-50% darker, the true healed colour will not come through until approximately 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment.

• The treated area will be slightly itchy and scabbing and flaking is completely normal when the treatment area is healing.

• Do not use any other products on the treated area apart from the products provided to you.

• Do not touch the treated area - this can result in infection.

• Do not pick, rub or scratch the treated area – this can result in scarring, infection and colour loss.

• No make-up on or near the treated area for 14 days or until fully healed.

• Keep the treated area dry - no washing or direct running water, if the area does get wet, pat dry - do not rub.

• Use a very mild facial cleanser and avoid the treated area – remove the cleanser using cotton pads or a muslin cloth.

• Keep exercise to a minimum for 14 days or until the area has healed to avoid any sweat or dirt entering the treated area.

• Refrain from using sunbeds or sunbathing for 14 days – even after healing, sunbeds and sunbathing can fade your permanent make-up. If you are going to be in the sun, I would recommend using an SPF factor 30 to 50 on the treated areas or you can also use a lip balm that has SPF protection on brows and lips.

• The healing process can take up to 28 days for younger adults (under 40 years) and 45 -50 days for older adults (40 years plus).

• In order to keep your permanent cosmetics in perfect condition it may be necessary to have a maintenance procedure around every 12 to 18 months, though this will vary for each individual.

• Take care when using moisturisers and other skin products which contain glycolic or fruity acids as these can fade permanent makeup.

• If you need to have an MRI scan or are planning a chemical peel or any other similar procedure please inform your practitioner that you have had a permanent cosmetics procedure.

• You may not be eligible to give blood for four months post procedure.

• If you are planning on having anti-aging injectables or cosmetic surgery remember these procedures can alter the shape of brow, lips and eyeliner.
