After Care Instruction for Dark Lip Neutralization Permanent Makeup

1. Avoid Touching:

  • Keep your lips and the surrounding area clean to prevent infection.
  • Do not touch, pick, or scratch your lips, as this can introduce bacteria and cause complications.

2. Keep Lips Clean:

  • Gently clean your lips with a damp cloth or cotton pad moistened with sterile water if needed to remove lymph.
  • Avoid using harsh soaps, cleansers, or exfoliants on your lips.

3. Moisturize:

  • Apply the provided ointment or a thin layer of a recommended aftercare product (like petroleum jelly or a healing balm) regularly to keep your lips moisturized.
  • Do not over-apply; a small amount is enough to keep the area hydrated.

4. Avoid Certain Products and Activities:

  • Do not use makeup, medicated lip balms, or any other products on your lips unless specified by your technician.
  • Avoid swimming, saunas, hot tubs, and excessive sweating for at least 10 days after the procedure.
  • Steer clear of spicy, salty foods, and drinks that can irritate your lips.

5. Sun Protection:

  • Protect your lips from direct sun exposure. Use a lip balm with SPF once healing has progressed and it is safe to apply, typically after two weeks.
  • Wearing a hat with a brim can provide additional protection.

6. No Smoking or Alcohol:

  • Avoid smoking and consuming alcohol, as these can impede the healing process.

7. Pain and Swelling Management:

  • Use a cold compress to reduce swelling if needed. Apply it gently and not directly on the lips.
  • Pain and swelling are normal in the first few days. If you experience excessive discomfort, consult with a healthcare professional.

8. Healing Process:

  • Expect the color to be more intense initially, but it will soften as the lips heal. Around day 5, lips may appear temporarily patchy, with some areas darker or lighter. It may take up to two months for the color to fully stabilize.
  • The healing process typically takes around 7-10 days for the surface and up to 10 weeks for the full color to stabilize.

9. Follow-Up Appointment:

  • Schedule a follow-up appointment in 10 weeks as recommended to assess healing and make any necessary adjustments.

10. Note Any Issues:

  • If you experience signs of infection (such as increased redness, lip sores, swelling, pus, or severe pain), contact a healthcare professional immediately.
