Pre-Care
Please make sure to exfoliate your lips a week prior to appointment. You can do this at home with a drop of coconut oil and sugar to create your own sugar scrub. Dry lips cannot be worked on so it’s important to stay hydrated and to moisturize your lips daily. I recommend using Aquaphor. 

• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and sunburns 3 days before your procedure 
• No caffeine or alcohol 24 hours before your appointment
• Avoid any exercising on the day of your appointment 
• Do not take Advil or any other blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Aspirin, Niacin, Fish oil or Omega-3s for 72 hours prior to your procedure.
• If you are prone to cold sores, take an anti-viral medication 5 days before and after your appointment 

Post-Care
Please plan 7 days for the healing process. During this time, please avoid:

• Makeup on lips
• Sauna
• Tanning
• Pool
• Excessive sweating 

• Do not pick your lips (let them flake and scab naturally)
• Do not apply anything besides ointment thats provided (Re-apply every 30 minutes)
• Do not scrub or exfoliate your lips, wash with a fragrance-free soap twice a day
• Drink liquids with a straw 
• Smoking will delay the healing process and may cause discolouration 
• Avoid spicy food on the first day

*Clients aftercare is 50% of the treatments success

Sensitivity varies from person to person, topical anesthetic is applied before and during the procedure to minimize any discomfort. It is also important to follow the pre-care instructions in order to feel the most comfortable and pain free throughout the procedure. 

The total procedure takes approximately 2.5 - 3 hours which includes reviewing medical history, procedure information, photos, colour selection, after care instructions and answering questions. Pre- and post-procedural photos will be taken to have better ideas about face/brow asymmetry and to document the outcome of the procedure. Every face is asymmetrical but most people do not realize this until closer inspection of their photos.  If the natural face lines and features are followed during the procedure, permanent makeup may highlight any asymmetries or imperfections.

The most important part of permanent makeup is drawing/sketching and creating the right shape. I will work with you to create a mutually agreed upon and client approved design which takes about 30 minutes. 

Pre-numbing takes 30 minutes (you will also be numbed during the procedure). The tattooing taking about 1-1.5 hours.

For safety and comfort considerations due to the length of time involved in the procedure, NO guests are allowed in the studio.

Lip blush is not recommended for clients who are or have any of the following:

- Pregnant or nursing

- Diabetic (please advise doctor before going through procedure)

- Epilepsy

- Undergoing chemotherapy (please advise doctor before going through procedure)

- Viral infections or diseases

- Sick with the cold or flu like virus

- Used Accutane in the past six months

- Had lip fillers within the past month (please wait until at least 4 weeks to book your appointment)

- Eczema on the area of procedure

- Chemical peels within the last two weeks

Cold sores: If you are prone to cold sores, lip tattooing can cause outbreaks. It is your responsibility to take your prescribed anti-viral medication from your doctor a few days prior your appointment and after the procedure to prevent any cold sores. If you have an outbreak or any type of scratch/acne on your lips we ask that you reschedule your appointment.

It is your responsibility to make sure you are properly prepared. If you need clarification, do not hesitate to ask.
