Lip Aftercare
How to care for your lips after the procedure:
How well you take care of your lips after the permanent makeup procedure will have an impact on the final results. Failure to follow correct procedures, may cause lightening, color changes, or uneven healing. Following these "best practices" will give you the best results.
1) Heal Time - Standard healing time for permanent makeup is 6 weeks with the biggest changes occurring during the first couple weeks.
2) Keep Clean - Clean your lips using soap and water twice a day for at least a week. This is to prevent bacteria from entering the skin and infecting the tattooing area.
3) Healing Cream - Use the lips to keep the tattoo moist for proper healing. Use just a little so oxygen can get to the skin.
4) Makeup - Do not use makeup of at least a week. This is because of the bacteria in makeup.
5) Touchup - For best results, you should wait at least 6 weeks before getting a touchup. The skin needs to be healed properly and the color needs to set. If touchups are done too early, there is a possibility that it could damage the skin.
What problems might occur?
- Too light/didn't take - The pigment will look dark at first. During the first week or two, the pigment will lighten and may not look like it took. Don't panic. This is normal and the pigment should come back over time. Should the pigment not take, we can make adjustments at the 6-week touchup.
- Exfoliation - Your skin will most like peel off during the first couple weeks. Don't worry. It is a normal part of the healing process.
- Symmetry - It may look great right after the procedure, but once the irritation subsides, the shape may be slightly off. If the shape or color isn't perfect, don't panic. That is what the touchup is for. Symmetry and color corrections can be taken care of at the 6-week touchup.
- Cream allergies - If you think the healing cream may be causing an allergic reaction, ie itchiness or break outs, stop using the healing cream, and trying using another brand like Cetaphil, Aquaphor, or Vaseline.
- Break out - Cold sores are not that uncommon for lips that have had a permanent makeup procedure. Lips are sensitive and easily irritated. It will eventually go away, but, unfortunately, you will experience discomfort for a while (3-14 days). Ice your lips and check with your doctor for antiviral medications.
- Infection - It is very important that you follow the procedures we give you for keeping your skin clean during the first week of the procedure. You want to avoid any bacteria penetrating the tattoo and getting infected. If you think you may have an infection, contact us immediately at 727-213-8801.
- Pigment reaction - It is rare nowadays for permanent makeup pigments to cause any allergic reactions. If you think you are having a reaction, it may be the healing cream. Stop using the cream immediately and try a different healing cream. Contact us 727-213-8801.
