LIB BLUSH PRECARE
We can’t wait to perfect that pout! Here's a list of things to help better prepare yourself for your Lip Blush appointment:
- Do not book your Lip Blush appointment within days of a special event. You will require a few days of downtime following your initial appointment. Please review our Aftercare for a detailed overview of the healing process.
- Please refrain from all activities that may cause irritation of the skin or thinning of the blood prior to your appointment.
- Refrain from alcohol consumption 24 hours before receiving Lip Blush
Refrain from suntanning, microdermabrasion, laser treatment, and chemical peels 7-10 days before receiving Lip Blush.
- Refrain from all medications that cause thinning of the blood including but not limited to: Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Niacin, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, and Ibuprofen. Please consult your physician before stopping any medication.
- Refrain from consuming coffee and energy drink the day of your appointment.
- Clients who have experienced a cold sore in or around the mouth MUST take Valtrex at least 3 days prior and 3 days after receiving this treatment. Failure to follow these instructions can risk an outbreak that can affect the healing process.
If you are experiencing any blemishes, acne, or skin irritations leading up to your procedure please contact us. It is up to the discretion of our artists to decide whether or not they have a workable surface.
LIB BLUSH AFTERCARE
What to expect immediately following your Lip Blush procedure:
- Intensified color and swelling are part of the initial stages of healing. Be patient. Do not freak out!
- The intensity should regress within 3-4 days. The sensation can be comparable to that of a slight burn and minimal scabbing and/or flaking may take place. Refrain from removing the scabs/flakes as you may run the risk of removing pigment in the process - it’s very important to keep the lips heavily hydrated. The true vibrancy of your cosmetic tattoo will fade about 30-40% from what you walked out with revealing a soft and natural blush tone.
5 THINGS TO REMEMBER WHILE THE LIP BLUSH IS HEALING:
Avoid hot, spicy, and salty foods as it may cause added irritation
Avoid large bodies of water, direct sun exposure, teeth whitening, rubbing and smoking
Do not pick or scratch the lips as it may lead to a loss of pigment and/or scarring
Placing cosmetic products on unhealed lips is heavily discouraged
Texture is normal and is often experienced in the first few days of healing
