LIP BLUSH AFTERCARE ADVICE LIPS HEAL IN THREE STAGES: Day 1-3: Too bright (immediately after procedure) Day 4-10: Too light Day 10-28: Just right and more natural (in about 20 days) Redness, swelling, tenderness and dryness are all common post treatment side effects and will dissipate in a short period of time. Next Day(s) Expectations The swelling should go down around 2 days after your lip blushing tattoo treatment. By the 3-day mark, the lip blush hue should get a bit darker than it was right after the procedure. During this time, it is crucial to continue cleansing and moisturising the area twice a day. Wash your lips with water or a fragrance-free cleanser on a cotton pad before hydrating the area with occlusive balm or gentle moisturiser. The Flaky Stage Your lips will start to flake and peel around 3-4 days after your lip blushing session. During this stage, scabs begin to form to recover from the needle-induced wounds. This portion of the healing process is nearly identical to that of a traditional tattoo. Never peel off the scabs - no matter how tempting this idea may be. Picking off the skin can fade the lip blush's pigment or patchiness throughout the area. Like other scabs, this activity can also reopen the wound, leaving you moresusceptible to infections. Let these dry flakes fall off naturally as a new layer of healed skin comes through underneath. Make sure to stay consistent with your washing and lip hygiene routine. Keeping your lips hydrated is vital at thisstage. Final Healing Days Once the flakiness starts to subside (around 5 day’s after the treatment), the colour on your nearly-healed lips willlikely be 30 to 50 percent lighter than they were when you got up from the studio chair. Don't worry if the pigment "disappears" for a period before returning a couple of weeks later. This outcome is normal during the end of the recovery process. The skin thickens as it heals and briefly conceals the ink. Once the skin repairs itself (after around 4-6 weeks) and the colour settles, the ink will become visible again and "return". LIP AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS: Keep the area clean: It is important to keep the treated area clean to help prevent infection and ensure proper healing. Gently clean the area with water a few times a day. Blot dry and apply balm. You'll want to keep your lips hydrated 24/7 in the healing phase. Avoid picking or scratching: Do not pick or scratch at the treated area, as this can lead to infection and may cause the pigment to fade or become uneven. Avoid direct sun exposure: Avoid exposing the treated area to direct sunlight or tanning beds for at least two weeks after the procedure. Sun exposure can cause the pigment to fade or become discoloured. Protect the area with ointment or cream: We recommend using a specific ointment or cream to keep the area moisturised and protected. Avoid strenuous activities: Avoid activities that may cause sweating or irritation to the treated area, such as exercise or hot showers, for at least a few days after the procedure. Avoid makeup: Avoid wearing makeup on the treated area for at least a few days after the procedure. If you must wear makeup, be sure to use a gentle, oil-free formula and avoid rubbing or scratching the area. Skip the spicy food, soups and hot beverages for at least 48 hours after your treatment. Only drink through a straw and try to place foods directly in your mouth with a fork if you can. Stay away from acidic, oily or salty foods and alcohol during the healing process if possible, too.
