BROWS
After the Appointment

Right after Appointment: Wipe brows thoroughly every 1/2 hour until provided wipes are gone. The purpose of this is to remove lymph fluid and pigment build up in order to prevent scabbing.

 

Day 1 - Day 7 (AM & PM): Wash with provided cleanser (pea-sized amount in palm, mix with splash of water, gently wipe over brows), rinse, pat dry and let air dry completely, then apply a small amount of ointment. Be extra while washing them if flakes are present. 

 

After day 7, no washing needed, just carefully apply ointment as-needed until flaking is done.

​​

FOR THE FIRST 10 - 14 DAYS

  • Nothing on brows aside from aftercare (including makeup)

  • Keep your brows as clean as possible - always use clean hands when handling brows

  • No intense exercise or sweating

  • Use a clean pillowcase, try to sleep on back

  • No swimming/submerging your face in water

  • Keep your brows as dry as possible in the shower, limit steam exposure

  • No sun exposure - wear a hat if you’re going to be outside

  • No picking or scratching (this can cause scarring and pigment loss)

  • Do not use the following on the upper half of your face:

  • retinol, AHAs, anti-acne products, glycolic or lactic acid

  • No tinting, waxing, or facials

​

**if any signs of infection occur, please contact your medical professional and myself ASAP

**begin wearing SPF 30+ once flaking has subsided 

LIP BLUSH
Before the Appointment

​

  • Do not exercise the day of your appointment

  • No tanning or intense sun exposure 5 days before appointment.

  • Cold sores are possible during healing. If you are prone to getting cold sores, please take an antiviral medication (such as Acyclovir or Valacyclovir) about 5 days prior to your appointment and for a few days after as well.

  • Exfoliate and moisturize lips every day for 7 days prior to the appointment

  • Hydrate well for 7 days prior to the appointment (as well as during healing)

  • No caffeine or alcohol 24 hours prior 

  • No blood thinners (ibuprofen aspirin, niacin), Vitamin E or Fish Oil 48 hours prior 

  • Stop the use of AHA products and retinoids at least 2 weeks prior to appointment

  • No chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments 4 weeks prior

LIP BLUSH
After the Appointment

  • Blot the area every 30-60 minutes with a provided wipe. This clears the area of any fluid/lymph trying to form a scab. Continue this for the rest of the day or until the fluid has stopped surfacing.

  • Before going to bed on the first night, clean lips with provided wipe and apply aftercare ointment. Apply ointment often for the next 7 days - don’t let lips dry out and do not rub lips together.

  • Your lips will flake for a couple of days beginning around days 2-4. Let the flakes come off naturally and do not pick - this could pull out pigment prematurely.

 

- FOR THE FIRST 7 DAYS -

  • Drink all liquids through a straw

  • Do not bite into foods (cut into bite size pieces)

  • Do not pick or rub

  • No soaps or chemicals on lips

  • Do not smoke.

  • Do not get lips wet- limit showers to 5 minutes

  • No sweating or intense exercise

  • Do not apply makeup or chapstick

  • Avoid Retinol and AHA's near lips

  • No direct sun or tanning beds for at least 2 weeks. (tanning fades pigment)

  • No chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments 4 weeks prior

 

** Please note that the pigment usually fades about 50% within the first 5 days and remains in the “light phase” for at least 30 days, if not longer. The color will resurface around 6-8 weeks, just in time for your touchup appointment! Lip blushing is a 2-step process and you should not expect to see full results after one session.**
