Important PRE-Treatment Factors to Consider
HYDRATE: Keep the lips moisturized the week leading up to your appointment. Lip Blush tattoo can NOT be done if lips are dry, chapped or cracked.
LIP COLD SORES: Those with a history of cold sores, even if it was just 1 time. You will need to use your prescribed anti-viral medication (Zovirax, Valtrex, Acyclovir, etc.) 5 days prior + 5 days post a lip blush procedure to minimize the risk of an outbreak. Treatment cannot be preformed if there is an active outbreak. Please wait 1 month if you’ve had a current outbreak.
SWELL: Your lips may swell or bruise. Please make sure you do not have anything important for 1-2 days following your service (depends on the person).
