-
After-care:
1) Cooling and Soothe -
Apply a Cold Compress to the treated area to reduce swelling, sooth the skin, and prevent excessive inflammation.
2) Avoid Irritants -
Spicy food, fragranced products, harsh cleansers, makeup, and exposure to direct sun light can irritate tour lips during the First 7 days. NO hot water for 7 days. Please try to drink through a straw or from a lid with a hole.
3) Moisturize -
On day 1: Gently wipe the lips with an antibacterial wipe 30 minutes to 1hr after your treatment. Immediately apply protective balm after this. Repeat this step a second time before bed on the day of your procedure. On day 1-7: Begin applying a thin layer of protective balm no less than 3 times a day. Ensure your lips are always protected. Avoid active ingredients and fragrances in lip balms and ointments. Be sure to wash hands before application. Ideally apply with a clean applicator stick, gently, with no vigorous motions. Continue applying until day 30.
4) Avoid Picking or Scrubbing -
No itching, no rubbing. To avoid infection and/or bare spots on the lip, it is important not to pick or rub at the pigment that may start to peel or flake. Let this shedding of skin occur naturally.
