COSMETIC TATTOO
LIP BLUSHING CARE TIPS

LIP BLUSHING

If you have a history of cold sores, it is essential to see a health consultant (pharmacist or Doctor) at least 4-days prior to treatment, and request preventative intervention.
Ensure the lip area is not sunburnt, damaged, chapped or too dry.
Gently exfoliate 1-week prior to treatment and sleep with a hydrating product (e.g. PawPaw balm, lip treatment or Bepanthen) on the lip area.
Repeat the above step every second night until the day of treatment and apply pawpaw lip balm or alternative lip balm daily.
Hydrate by regularly drinking water with your recommended daily amount.
Avoid Laser within 2-weeks of your appointment.
You’ll need to avoid laser on or near the lip area post-tattooing. I recommend ensuring any laser treatment courses are completed prior to having Lip Blushing.

Swelling may be expected after treatment. This normally subsides throughout the day, however, may last 3-5 days.
Apply a cold compress or ice to the area immediately after treatment, for just a few minutes, and repeat every few hours that day.
Avoid applying ice directly to exposed skin, a clean tissue may be used as a barrier.
Avoid consuming hot drinks or alcohol for the first few days post-treatment.
Using a clean cotton tip, apply a very thin layer of recommended Aftercare product to the area, regularly, throughout the day.
Do not apply makeup to the area or touch with fingers until healed (1 week).
Dryness, flaking, and peeling may be expected within the first few days and is normally completed within a week.
The colour normally disappears at first, due to the changes in new skin. Colour will return at around 7-weeks.
If you experience symptoms of cold sores, inflammation, or tenderness at the treated area, notify your Artist and consult a pharmacist immediately.
Return for a touch up at 5-8 weeks.
