LIP BLUSH TATTOO AFTERCARE ADVICE

---

• Keep Your Lips Moisturised

Immediately after the procedure, your lips might feel dry and sensitive. Use a gentle, fragrance-free healing ointment or a recommended lip balm to keep your lips moisturised. Apply it regularly, especially when you feel any tightening or dryness.

• Avoid Water Exposure

In the first week post-treatment, limit exposure to water. Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and saunas, as excessive moisture can disrupt the healing process and affect the pigment retention. When washing your face, use a washcloth around your lips to keep them dry.

• Skip the Makeup

For the first few days, don’t apply any makeup on your lips. Lipstick, gloss, or other cosmetic products can irritate the area and increase the risk of infection. Allow your natural skin barrier to restore around your new lip blush tattoo.

• Stay Away from Direct Sunlight

• Avoid Picking or Scratching Until the healing process is over

• Use antiviral cream for cold sores prevention or during outbreak

Cold sores can sometimes appear after a lip blush session - this is a normal response if you carry the herpes simplex virus  (HSV-1), even if you have never had a cold sore before. Therefore, it is essential that you take an antiviral medication such as acyclovir (Zovirax) or valacyclovir (Valtrex) 3 days before and 3–5 days after your lip blush appointment (even with  preventative measures). 

• Stay Patient

Your lip color will undergo various transformations during the healing process, initially appearing vibrant before softening to a more natural hue. Keep in mind that results will improve with time as your lips continue to heal.

By adhering to these aftercare tips, you’ll give your new lip blush tattoo the best chance for stunning, lasting results. Embrace the process, and soon enough, you’ll be flaunting your beautifully enhanced lips with confidence!

Please keep in mind that it is highly recommended to have your touch up appointment after 4 - 6 weeks to get best results and retention.
