Lip AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for choosing Radiant Ink to help create your perfect lips, this is a journey, and we are in this together.
♦Your aftercare is essential to your healing result and can make or break your design. If these rules are not followed with precision, there is a large possibility of infection, blurred design and/or heavily faded results. Please adhere to these rules strictly for the next 10 days.
♦You have invested a lot of hard-earned money into this treatment we strongly advise that you follow these recommendations.
♦Your “Healing Time” will vary from around 7 to 14 days. You will know when your lip is healed as it will be soft and smooth to touch and feel like normal skin with absolutely no flaking or dryness.
♦Until your lip reaches this “soft and smooth” stage – it has not healed, and you must continue to follow your aftercare instructions until then.
♦Not everyone will experience flaking during their healing time….so “how do you know your lips have healed?”
♦If you are 7 to 14 days into your healing phase, and there are no signs of any dryness or flaking at all then you are probably healed, and you can therefore stop following the aftercare steps.
After care steps
When you get home, you will want to wipe your tattoo every hour with a wet cotton round or wet wipes and pat the area dry to ensure no fluids sit and form scabs. Fluids will leak from the tattoo to form scabs and you DO NOT want these fluids to sit on your tattoo and form these scabs.
Moisturize with the provided ointment as needed just enough to hydrate your skin.
Do not use anything other than the aftercare provided for healing!
Moisture: Lips will tend to be very dry. Keep them moist
Some peeling may occur. DO NOT PEEL OFF! Do not wipe your lips with a napkin while eating, blot instead.
Drink through a straw. Depending on the type of procedure either lip blushing or lipstick look, Lips have a tendency to fade after the first procedure.
No smoking right after lip procedure.
♦Your lips may feel swollen and sore at this stage so treat with care. If you have swelling, an ice bag (Wrap an ice pack or a Ziplock of ice in a towel) could be applied for the first few hours, alternating ten minutes on, ten minutes off.
Remember
YOU WILL WAIT 6-8 WEEKS until we see you at your perfecting session, for good reason.
It takes this length of time for the skin to not only heal, but for the color to settle and reveal its true shade and final shape. At the perfecting session, we can address shape and color alterations to suit.
In my experience, by the time I see you next, your lip will have settled, and the color and shape will have softened.
Until then, do not worry and let the process take its journey, as they will change dramatically, over the coming few weeks.
If you have any issues that have not been addressed above, please contact me and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
GOING FORWARD
During the
healing time
of 7 to 14 days
Abreva
For those of you that didn't get the Valtrex or prescription medication to prevent a cold sore outbreak and had an outbreak, get Abreva and start the medicine right away!
Abreva contains the only FDA-approved nonprescription cold sore medicine to shorten healing time.
Please keep in mind that if you are at this step, cold sores could greatly impact the look of your healed new lips.
