DO NOT WORK OUT

FOR A LIP BLUSH, CONSULT WITH US REGARDING COLD SORES, SHINGLES, AND HERPES SIMPLEX. IF YOU EVER HAD ANY OF THOSE CONDITIONS, IT IS IMPORTANT YOU ARE PRE-TREATED WITH AN ANTIVIRAL, THIS PRESCRIPTION SHOULD BE REQUESTED TO YOUR PHYSICIAN.
YOUR LIPS MAY BE UNDER STRESS DURING THE PROCEDURE, THEREFORE, TO AVOID AN OUTBREAK, WE RECOMMEND STRENGTHENING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BY TAKING AN ANTIVIRAL -VALTREX OR ZOVIRAX- 1 TABLET THE DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT, AND CONTINUING FOR 3-4 MORE DAYS. THE ANTIVIRAL MUST BE PRESCRIBED BY YOUR DOCTOR.
NO LIPS FILLERS, OR LIP FLIP PROCEDURE 4 WEEKS BEFORE AND 4 WEEKS AFTER YOUR LIP BLUSH.
START PREPARING YOUR LIPS A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE YOUR PROCEDURE WITH AQUAPHOR OR A LIP BALM. IT IS IMPORTANT YOU KEEP THEM MOIST BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT (DRY SKIN DOES NOT HOLD THE PIGMENT AS EXPECTED).
PLEASE NOTE SENSITIVITY INCREASES DURING THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE.
YOU CAN TAKE AN ANTIHISTAMINE THE NIGHT BEFORE, WHICH MAY HELP CONTROL SWELLING.
AFTER
AFTER THE PROCEDURE, DAB LIPS WITH A DAMP COTTON PAD EVERY 1-2 HOURS UNTIL BEDTIME TO ABSORB THE LYMPH.
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE, KEEP THE LIPS MOIST USING A COLORLESS LIP BALM, OR AQUAPHOR FOR TWO WEEKS (IF USING A LIP BALM, IT HAS TO BE BRAND NEW), AS THIS WILL KEEP THE PEELING TO THE MINIMUM, FOR BETTER RESULTS.
DO NOT LET THE AREA DRY OUT COMPLETELY, SINCE THIS CAN CAUSE SCABBING AND CRACKING ON THE SKIN SURFACE.
WHILE IN THE SHOWER, YOU CAN WET YOUR LIPS, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T SOAK THEM IN WATER.
KEEP IN MIND YOUR LIPS SKIN IS AN OPEN WOUND AFTER THE PROCEDURE, THEREFORE:
AVOID STRONG KISSING FOR 3 DAYS.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE TATTOOED AREA TO SUN OR TANNING BEDS FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. THIS CAN CAUSE PREMATURE FADING.
DO NOT GET INTO A POOL, SAUNA, BEACH, OR SIMILAR AT LEAST FOR 14 DAYS TO AVOID THE RISK OF INFECTION.
AT LEAST 3 DAYS FOLLOWING YOUR PROCEDURE, TRY NOT TO IRRITATE YOUR LIPS WITH SALTY, SOUR, AND SPICY FOODS UNTIL THE LIPS HAVE COMPLETELY HEALED. ALSO, AVOID DRINKS THAT CAN STAIN YOUR LIPS (BEET JUICE, AND RED WINE FOR EXAMPLE)
WHILE EATING, DO NOT CONSTANTLY WIPE THE LIPS WITH A NAPKIN OR KEEP LICKING YOUR LIPS, AS THIS WILL OBSTRUCT THE HEALING PROCESS.
DO NOT WEAR MAKEUP FOR 10 DAYS ON YOUR LIPS.
BE CAREFUL WHEN BRUSHING YOUR TEETH, TO AVOID IRRITATION.
DO NOT BLEACH YOUR TEETH WHILE YOUR LIPS ARE HEALING.
