Lip Blush Prep & Care
Lip Blush
Please read carefully before booking your lip blush treatment!
We can’t wait to perfect that pout! Here's a list of things to help better prepare yourself for your Lip Blush appointment:
Do not book your Lip Blush appointment within days of a special event. You will require a few days of downtime following your initial appointment.
Please refrain from all activities that may cause irritation of the skin or thinning of the blood prior to your appointment:
Refrain from alcohol consumption 24 hours before receiving your Lip Blush treatment
Refrain from suntanning, microdermabrasion, dermaplanning, laser treatment, and chemical peels 7-10 days before receiving Lip Blush.
Refrain from all medications that cause thinning of the blood including but not limited to: Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Niacin, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, and Ibuprofen. Please consult your physician before stopping any medication.
Refrain from consuming coffee and energy drink the day of your appointment.
Clients who have experienced a cold sore in or around the mouth MUST take Valtrex at least 3 days prior and 3 days after receiving this treatment. Failure to follow these instructions can risk an outbreak that can affect the healing process.
If you are experiencing any blemishes, acne, or skin irritations leading up to your procedure please contact WrightLooks. It is up to the discretion of the artist to decide whether or not they have a workable surface. Failure to communicate any of these may result in a cancellation or rescheduling of your appointment.
Lip fillers must be done 1 month prior to scheduling this service. Failure to disclose this information may result in a negative outcome.
No children under the age of 18 are allowed in the studio.
Aftercare
The area will feel a bit sore and will look quite intense. There may be some swelling and minor bruising that only lasts for 1-2 days.
The next day, the color of the tattoo will darken as scabs begin to form, there may still be some swelling or minor bruising
Wipe your tattoo every hour until the oozing has stopped with a wet cotton round and pat the area dry to ensure no fluids sit and form scabs.
You may ice the skin if it is feeling tender or swollen after the procedure. Wrap an ice pack or a ziplock of ice in a napkin and place on the area for as long as desired.
Gently wash with After Soap twice a day. Apply ointment three times a day.
Avoid harsh cleansers, creams, makeup, or any other products on the treated area until all the scabs have naturally fallen off. These things can jeopardize the healing of the tattoo.
Don’t pick, scratch or bite off the scabs. Let the scabs fall off naturally. Picking can cause scarring, loss of pigment, or an infection.
Do not expose your tattoo to UV rays or tanning beds for 4 weeks after the procedure. These things can alter the appearance of your tattoo dramatically.
Do not sweat on the tattoo until all the scabs have come off naturally. Sweat will take the pigment from your tattoo. If you do sweat on them, dab it off immediately.
Do not get any facials, Botox, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks post appointment date.
After Scabbing Phase:
Once the scabs have completely fallen off, you may apply makeup over the area and return back to your normal routine. Note that after the scabs come off your tattoo may have a milky/grey hue to it. This just means that the surface skin is healed but the underneath layers still need time to heal. The complete healing process takes 6 weeks. At 6 weeks the true and final color of the tattoo will show. It is only after 6 weeks that a touchup to the tattoo can be done.
Please note that your tattoo will be softer and not as crisp when healed.
Note that results will vary with each individual and are extremely dependent on your skin and how you care for it during healing. It may take more than one session to achieve your desired result.
