Before

PRE CARE

Start taking Lysine or Zovarix 7 days before the procedure if you have a tendency for cold sores on your lips. Zovarix is a prescription drug and a physician should be consulted before taking this medication.

Slight tenderness & mild swelling immediately after procedure

POST CARE

Immediately after the procedure, the area treated will look much darker and much more defined than the final results.

Be patient. It will look much softer in 5-6 days depending on how fast your skin heals. Make an adjustment appointment if there is anything you would like to change.

The appropriate waiting time is 2 weeks for eyes and brows and 4 weeks for lips. Touching up a tattoo prematurely can result in scarring, tenderness and an undesirable color.

You cannot adjust color unless you know the color is settled.

After

THE HEALING PROCESS

Keep sealant cream on 5 times a day for 5 days. Sealant prevents infections and scabbing.

• Don't sit in a jacuzzi or swim for 5 days. Steam will open pores and make the color bleed out.
• Don't scrub the treated area.
• Don't scrutinize the work. The healing process is normal.

We recommend make-up not be applied over the healing tattoo. This can lead to infection. However if you must use it, use brand new make-up to minimize infection. This is especially important with mascara.

Eyeliner

Expect the eye to be tender 1-2 days. If eyeliner is swollen: wet a Lipton Tea bag in cold water and apply for 10 minutes. Re-apply if necessary.

Eyebrows

Brows will be tender for 1-2 days. They will turn dark for 5-6 days. After 5-6 days they will dramatically soften, normally over 50%-60%.

Lips

This area will take the longest to heal. The color will be extremely bright for 7-8 days. It will then fade to no color and re-appear after 3-6 weeks.
