lip post care.

Post care is 60% of the healed result so ensure to follow closely. Keep in mind it takes 6-8 weeks for the colour to fully develop, during this time it is expected and normal for lips to appear faded or patchy. Here is the link to book your 6 week touch up: https://topcosmeticartistry.as.me/6weekliptouchup

With proper after care followed, lips will last 3 years. I recommend colour boosting touch ups every 1-2 years to maintain definition and colour.

​Immediately after:

  • ​numbing will wear off within an hour

  • most swelling will subside within 2 hours, the rest in 24

  • you're able to have caffeine, alcohol + blood thinners again

  • avoid spicy + citrus for 24 hours​​

First 7 days:

  • ​avoid getting the lips wet when showering, brushing your teeth and washing your face etc.  (I know this is obviously difficult, but just try your best to keep the lips dry and definitely don't let the water pressure from the shower hit them

  • avoid any products or makeup touching the lips (shampoo, conditioner, face wash, face makeup, lipstick etc). The ONLY product you want to apply for the next 7 days is Aquaphor, just a thin layer in the morning, evening and a few times throughout the day

  • drink lots of water

  • avoid the sauna, steam rooms and hot studio workouts 

  • avoid picking the lips, let them heal and try not to touch them to keep them clean

  • avoid excessive exercise and sweating 

Avoid for the next 2 weeks:

  • do NOT go in swimming pools/ hot tubs

  • do NOT get botox in the lip area

Avoid for the next month:

  • avoid sun-tanning & solariums

  • avoid light and laser therapy

  • avoid chemical peels & fruit acids

  • avoid lip injections until 4 weeks post lip blush treatment
