HEALING PERIOD
The complete healing process for your lips typically spans 7 days, during which you should follow these guidelines:
Lip Moisturisation: Apply ointment or lip balm to your lips 3-4 times a day, particularly when they feel dry or chapped.
Lymph Fluid Maintenance: Regularly clean away lymph fluid from your lips using a baby wipe to prevent it from drying and forming crusts.
Lip Washing: When washing your lips, use lukewarm or cold water only, as hot water may cause discomfort.
Product Application: After the initial 7 days, you are free to wear lip products as desired.
DO-NOT
Touching or Rubbing: Avoid touching or rubbing your healing lips, as this can introduce contaminants and increase the risk of infection.
Lip Exfoliation: Do not exfoliate your lips for the first 7 days.
Smoking or Vaping: Avoid smoking or vaping for the initial 48 hours after the procedure.
Application of Active Serums: Do not use active serums on your lips during the healing process.
Intense Exercise: It's best to avoid intense exercise for the first 48 hours.
Whitening Toothpaste with Peroxide: Refrain from using toothpaste containing peroxide on your lips.
Consuming Oily/Spicy Foods: Avoid oily or spicy foods for the initial 48 hours.
Kissing Your Partner or Pets: For the first 24 hours, avoid kissing your partner or pets on the lips.
Direct Sunlight Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight for 2 weeks following the procedure, and be sure to use SPF protection when you do go out in the sun.
TRUST THE PROCESS
Bruising should subside within 30-60 minutes.
Swelling typically diminishes within 1-2 days.
From days 3-7, you may experience dry lips; please avoid picking the skin and let it naturally flake off.
Please exercise patience during healing, as it takes 6-8 weeks for the colour to fully develop. It's normal for the colour to initially appear lighter before settling.
The colour will heal to be approximately 40-60% lighter than the initial application and can last anywhere from 1-3 years.
During the healing process, you may experience
Swelling, which can be relieved with ice packs.
Itching, which can be eased with aftercare balm.
Scabbing, which may occur and can also be managed with aftercare balm.
Light bruising and a feeling of dry tightness.
If you notice a too dark or slightly uneven appearance, don't worry. Within 2-7 days, the darkness will fade, and as swelling subsides, unevenness often disappears. If any issues persist after 4 weeks, adjustments can be made during the touch-up appointment.
Colour change or loss is common as the procedure area heals. The colour will lighten and may seem to vanish, but this can be addressed during the touch-up appointment. It's crucial to let the procedure area fully heal, which typically takes at least 6 weeks.
Touch-up appointments may be needed months or years later, typically 1 to 4 years after the initial procedure. Factors such as skin type, medications, and sun exposure can influence this. We recommend a touch-up 6-8 weeks after the first session and periodic touch-ups every few years to maintain a fresh and beautiful look.
