You need to treat the area with absolute care, like you would treat any other type of tattoo.

The aftercare is just as important as getting the tattoo itself. Tattoos are not permanent until they are healed.

• MAKEUP, SCRUBBING & LOTION– May cause infection, scarring, and delay healing

• SLEEPING ON FACE– Use a fresh and clean pillowcase, lip may stain fabrics.

• PICKING– Let any scabbing or dry skin naturally exfoliate away. Picking can cause scarring or loss of color

• DIRECT SUN EXPOSURE– Sun tanning or salon tanning beds, will blur pigment

• SWEATING & EXERCISE– Pigment retention loss

• RETINOL, VITAMIN C, FACIALS, SKIN PEELS & EXFOLIATES- Around lip area

• ACTIVITIES- Long showers, massages, jacuzzis, saunas, hot yoga and swimming

ABSORB AS NEEDED

Gently blot lips with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the rest of the day until the oozing stops. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

WIPE 4 HOURS AFTER THE PROCEDURE

1. Using clean hands dampen a cotton pad with distilled water, squeeze out the excess moisture
2. Gently wipe the aftercare ointment from lips
3. Allow lips to breathe

WASH, DRY & MOISTURIZE

Keep area clean and let it breathe! Stay away from sun and do not apply cosmetics on lips.

1. Wash

Clean daily to remove bacteria and buildup. “Gently” wash lips with a very light touch, by splashing distilled water and using fingertips in a circular motion using a fragrance free | antibacterial soap.

• Dial Antibacterial Gold Soap
• CerVe
• Baby Shampoo

Avoid direct water pressure– While showering, keep your face completely away from direct water pressure, it may prematurely remove scabbing. Take quick showers avoiding steam to develop in bathroom, or take a bath instead.

2. Dry

Pat with disposable paper towel and wait 10 minutes for area to air dry, “never“ apply aftercare ointment on wet or damp tattoo.

3. Moisturize Frequently

• Apply aftercare ointment as needed
• Put a rice size amount of aftercare ointment with a cotton swab or ring finger.
• Then spread a “very thin” film of ointment to the lips. Be sure not to over-apply. Wounds need oxygen to heal and suffocating the skin with a thick layer of product may prevent the skin from breathing and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the lips. The key is to apply only a very thin layer of product and rub it into the skin.

Now it is time to critique your lips, the tattoo has become part of the dermis, the healed results are revealed.

 LONG TERM CARE

• Use a good lip balm with sunscreen, sun exposure will fade your cosmetic tattoo.

• The use of chemical peels and acid peels regularly near lip area can also cause tattoo to fade prematurely.

If an infection or adverse reaction occurs at the site of the procedure area, contact your personal physician for treatment and report to SNHD special programs at (702) 759-0677.
