Lip Blush post care and healing process

-You may experience the following Symptoms for 4 days 

Swelling and redness. 

Flaking and mild itchiness as the lips heal.

Dry skin that may remain for up to 3 weeks.  These symptoms are a normal part of the healing process
-Be careful as you pull on shirts or other garments over your face that you don’t brush the new tattoo accidentally. 

-Do not put any makeup on, particularly just after treatment. You might cause an infection or otherwise damage the tattoo. 

-In the case of food, it may be challenging for a while to eat with tattooed lips, but it can be done. Avoid biting or licking your lips as much as possible, and make sure no food or drink stays on there. 

• For the first two days Ice packs protected with fabric may be applied as necessary to reduce any swelling
• Use a gentle facial cleanser to freshen your skin during the first week. Do not splash wash your face. Do however clean your enhancement twice daily with damp cotton pads
• Until lips heal, Apply a healing balm regularly using a cotton bud. Wash your hands before applying the product and remove previous balm gently with cotton pad. 
• Apply a layer of Vaseline to your enhancement when brushing your teeth to prevent it from becoming wet. Remove the Vaseline with damp cotton pads.
• If your enhancement gets wet, gently pat the area dry using a clean tissue.
• Some itching is normal. DO NOT PICK, PEEL OR RUB your enhancement as the colour may heal unevenly and you could risk infection, which in turn could lead to scarring. Allow the colour to flake away by itself.
• No make-up should be applied close to your enhancement for 3 days. 
• Avoid eating spicy and salty foods and drink through a straw for 3 days.
• No kissing for 5 days to prevent infection.
• Do not receive skincare beauty treatments for 7 days after the application of your enhancement.
• Avoid For 2 Weeks
  Do not expose your enhancement to direct sun, tanning treatments, Jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools and direct shower spray. Do not receive bleaching, waxing, electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to your enhancement.
• Even after the tattoos have healed, be consistent with applying sunscreen to those areas of your face, to avoid fading. 
• Lips can take 1-3 treatments for desired depth of color. Keeping lips moist daily will lengthen the time the pigment will last…everyone heals different.
• Very Important: If you get cold sores or have ever had one in the past, you will need an antiviral prescription from your doctor before a lip procedure. Physicians usually instruct to take it 2 days before. As this procedure will bring out the virus if not medicated beforehand.

This is only a healing process may be faster or slower depending on client

Day 4-7 Exfoliation begins, very chapped lips.

Day 7-9 A soft rich color begins to appear.
