Semi-permanent makeup for lips enhances your lip shape, discreetly redefines your natural lip boarder and if desired gives the illusion of fullness. Permanent makeup lips process was performed using a sterile single-use needle and high quality pigments. The final result of your treatment depends only on following every aftercare protocol.
So please follow the instructions below unless otherwise instructed by a physician.
- Immediately after your treatment your lips will feel very dry and swollen. To remove dryness from your lips, you should apply aftercare ointment like Vitamin A+D ointment and Vitamin E ointment on lips 2 or 3 times a day.
- Please do not allow lips to become dry and swollen. You should brush your teeth with water only for 72 hours, post treatment.
- After your lip treatment, apply an ice pack for 20 minutes to reduce swelling. Always use a clean Q-tip, not fingers to apply ointment to the lips area.
- Lips heal in three stages: Too dark – Too light – Just right. This process takes 24 to 29 days to happen.
- During this process, please avoid oily, salty, acidic foods and alcohol. It is advised to use a good lip balm and they will return to normal but with color!
