Before & Aftercare

Proper before and aftercare helps ensure the best possible outcome for your cosmetic tattoo.

Lip Blush

Before your appointment

You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

You must be 18 years or older.

If you are diabetic or currently on accutane or antibiotics, please reach out, as you may not qualify for cosmetic tattooing.

2-3 weeks prior

Avoid getting filler or injections in the lip area.
Avoid deep exfoliation treatments such as chemical peels.

1 week prior

Drink plenty of water and keep lips moisturized. Use lip masks (Laneige is a great option) or aquaphor at bedtime if you're prone to chapped lips.
Avoid direct UV exposure to the lip area and saunas.
Discontinue use of fish oil and vitamin E.
Do not take ibuprofen or other blood thinners. If you are prescribed blood thinners, please consult with your doctor and inform your artist of their advice.

1-3 days prior

Avoid consuming caffeine on the day of your appointment.
Avoid consuming alcohol 24 hours prior.
If you are prone to cold sores or have ever had a cold sore, ask your doctor for an antiviral prescription such as acyclovir. Start taking it 3 days prior to your service and continue for 3 days after. Outbreaks can be triggered by trauma to the lips, so please take the necessary precautions.

After your appointment

After the treatment, your lips may appear slightly swollen and your color will be more intense than the desired outcome. However, the color will lighten within a few days, resulting in a more natural and subtle look.

You may use an ice pack with a clean barrier or take ibuprofen after your treatment to help reduce swelling if needed.

After your appointment

For 5 days:

Always wash your hands before touching your lips.
At bedtime on the day of your appointment, gently wash your lips with warm water and a mild cleanser.
Apply the provided aftercare lip balm after cleansing.
Use the lip balm as often as you need (for 7 days). It is recommended to apply a thin layer and let it wear off before applying more. Avoid oversaturating the lips and do not let them get too dried out.

Things to avoid

No spicy foods for 24 hours.
Do not put any products on the lips other than what is provided for a full 7 days.
Avoid picking, licking, and scratching the lips.
No foreign body fluids near the lips for 5 days.
Avoid bodies of water or submerging the tattoo for 7 days.
Avoid direct UV exposure for one week.
No massages, facials, or other skin treatment for 5 days.
Avoid laser therapy near the tattooed area as it can change the color of the pigment.
No exfoliants, retinols, AHAs or BHAs on the lips for 30 days.

Once healed

Things to know

Brows can last 1-3 years depending on lifestyle, skin type, and aftercare.
Always wear an SPF on your brows once healed (at least 30 SPF). UV will fade pigment faster.
Avoid any type of laser treatment on the brows as this can change the pigment color.
Retinol use will affect your brows over time. It can cause premature fading and contribute to changing pigment color.

After your appointment

After the treatment, your brows will appear more intense than the desired outcome. However, the color will lighten within a few days, resulting in a more natural and subtle look.

You may take ibuprofen after your treatment to help with any potential pain or swelling.

After your appointment

Day 1:

Pat dry with a paper towel every 15 minutes up to a few hours if you're experiencing any blood or fluid build-up. We do not want it to scab.
Always wash your hands before touching your brows.
At bedtime on the day of your appointment, using clean fingers or a q-tip, gently wash your brows (no scrubbing!) with warm water and a mild cleanser.
Do not use ointment.

Day 2- 10:

Until your brows begin to peel, wash morning and night with soap using a q-tip, then pat dry.
Wait about 5 minutes or until brows feel completely dry, then apply ointment using a q-tip. You only need a small amount of ointment, about the size of a grain of rice.
Once you begin to peel, discontinue soap and use only water to wash. We want to avoid trapping any soap under the scabs.
Continue with ointment until day 10.
Stay hydrated!

Things to avoid

Do not put any makeup on or around the brows for 10 days.
Avoid picking or scratching at the brows.
Avoid excessive water on the brows.
Avoid direct UV exposure for 10 days.
No sweating for 10 days. This means no intense exercise or saunas.
No facials or other skin treatment for 10 days.
No bodies of water for 10 days.
No exfoliants, retinols, AHAs or BHAs during the healing period.
