Day 0

• If there is any swelling, apply an ice pack to the area for 15 minute sessions. 
• Do not apply aftercare product to your lip area for at least 2 hours following your treatment. After 2 hours blot the lips with sterile water wipes to cleanse any dried up lymph post procedure. After this step has been carried out, you may apply a light layer of healing balm to the lips.
• Do not eat for at least one (1) hour after the procedure.
• Refrain from licking lips. 

Day 1 – Day 3

• Swelling, oozing, and some redness are normal the next day after the procedure for some clients.
• Apply aftercare product gently with a cotton swab 3 to 5 times a day.
• Avoid direct contact between food and lips as much as possible. Use a straw when drinking liquids; avoid sandwiches, biting into fruit or foods that might cause friction to the lips. Smoking is discouraged for optimal results.
• Rinse lips with warm water after every meal. Keep lips clean.
• Keep area clean, but do not wash with soap.
• Do not apply makeup on lips. 
• Clean the tattooed area twice per day with sterile water wipes.
• Avoid direct water contact when showering or face cleansing. If lips get wet, dab with clean tissue.   

Day 4 – Day 7

• Continue doing all of the above. 
• Some of the permanent lip color will flake slightly. Under no circumstances should you pick, scratch or rub the treated area or attempt to remove the crusty material. Removing of the crusts may result in the removal of the actual pigment and/or infection may occur. Let flaking occur naturally. With early removal of pigment, flakes may result in areas with insufficient pigment.
