AFTERCARE ADVICE
Change your pillowcase when you get home. Please be advised that any pigment residue could stain your pillowcase for at least 1 week after your appointment.
Day of the procedure: Lips will feel swollen, dark and very dry after your treatment. Pat lips gently with a wipe or tissue to remove excess lymph every hour or so on the first day. You may also apply ice packs to help if they are very swollen.
Day 2-3: Apply a moisturizing lip ointment twice a day to moisten and prevent them from forming a crust. Allow lips to dry for 5 minutes prior to applying your aftercare lip balm. This should be done for at least 5-6 days post treatment.
Day 4: Apply a moisturizing lip ointment at night to prevent scabs and dryness,
continue to apply it for the entire week until the area is completely healed. Always use a Q-tip to apply the ointment. Once the lips are no longer tender, they may become flaky. This is normal.
Do not pick or scratch them. Doing so can significantly reduce the amount of pigment that stays in the skin.
