•  For your safety, we recommend you to take antiviral -Valtrex or Zovirax- 1 day before, and 3 tablets after your lips procedure, to strengthen your immune system, and avoid an episode of herpes or cold-sore (you can consult with your doctor).

After

• Keep your lips moist, using Vitamin E oil for 2 weeks following.

• Do not let the area dry out completely, this can cause scabbing and cracking on the skin surface

• Do not expose tattooed area to sun or tanning beds without using sun block. This can cause pre-mature fading.

• Do not eat citrus fruits and juices, greasy, salty, oily or spicy foods until your lips have completely healed.

• While eating, do not constantly wipe your lips with a napkin or keep licking your lips as this will impede the healing process

• Be careful when brushing your teeth. Toothpaste may pull the pigment out of the lip vermilion. Also, do not bleach your teeth while your lips are healing.
