Before & After Procedure

Before your procedure

• Please bring your favourite lipstick or lip pencil for colour matching.

• Electrolysis or laser hair removal should be completed 5 to 7 days before.

• No alcohol consumption 24 hours prior to your appointment.

• No over the counter blood thinners ( Ibuprofen, ASA, ...) 24 hours prior to your appointment.

• If you have cold sores or have ever had one in the past, it is important that you get an antiviral prescription (i.e. Valtrex) from your doctor. Physicians usually instruct to take it 1-2 days before the procedure. Please follow your doctor's instructions.

• Additional preparation guidelines will be provided during appointment booking.

After your procedure
As with most tattoo procedures, your lips may be temporarily swollen immediately after. There may be some tenderness and it will feel like minor bruising, but this will go away in a few days. The lip colour will look much brighter and darker within the first week, but the colour will soften significantly over the next few weeks. An aftercare balm with topical anesthetic will be provided to help with the healing. Post care instructions will be instructed after the procedure to ensure you understand it completely and are comfortable before you leave.
