Pmu Lips Aftercare

AFTERCARE: How to care for your PMU LIPS

Post-care steps are straightforward and simple.We will provide you a complimentary After Care Kit and go over all the details of your after care at your appointment time. It is absolutely crucial that you follow precise Post-Care instructions to achieve the full results of the procedure.

 If directions are not followed there is a risk that your procedure results won't last as intended. You may return to regular maintenance as normal once you have healed (after 2 weeks).

Immediately afterwards

Your lips will look more vibrant than they will heal, and they will  be swollen. This swelling will subside over the next few hours. There  may also be some numbness to the lips and mouth – so avoid hot  beverages/ food until the numbness has worn off.

(If you are predisposed to coldsores, it is highly recommended that you visit your primacy care physician  to obtain anti-viral preventative medication before this treatment. If you have not done this, you can risk a cold sore flare up so please make this a priority).

• An aftercare pack will be given to you, which contains water wipes/cotton pads and aftercare ointment. Use the wipes to gently wipe  over the area in the first 3 hours and apply aftercare
ointment – make sure your fingers are clean

• If there is swelling, a cold compress for a few minutes at a time will  help to bring it down – don’t apply ice directly to the area, wrap it  in plastic wrap

• Continue to use your aftercare ointment for 2 weeks, once it runs out, you can use Vaseline , A&D Ointment until smooth/healed

• Use only your aftercare ointment Vaseline to keep the area moist – no other lipsticks or balms whilst healing

• Avoid everything listed below:

Caffeinated beverages or alcohol on the day of treatment
Blood thinning medication on the day of treatment (nurofen, aspirin etc)
Kissing 10 days post treatment, this can cause infection and pigment not settling
Very spicy or acidic food at least 7 days (use a straw if drinking anything other than water)
Very hot (heat) food or drink for 7 days
Brushing teeth after the treatment on the same day (wait till the  following day) – be very careful not to get toothpaste on the lips
Picking the crusts; allow to fall off in their own time
Swimming, sauna or spa/steam exposure for 2 weeks
Heavy exercise/sweating for 2 weeks
Cosmetic treatments like lip filler for 2 weeks
Applying lipstick for X days or lip plumping serums for 2 weeks

Important
If a cold sore does start to come up/tingle, please treat is as soon as  possible with patches and/or seek pharmacist advice regarding  medication. Untreated coldsores will result in pigment loss.
Although we cannot recommend this medically, some clients that are prone  to cold sores do like to apply a cold-sore cream after the treatment  for the following few days as a preventative.

Touch up Session:

For all New clients: One touch-up appointment is usually necessary (but not mandatory) and included in the initial service fee (First Session + Complimentary Touch up 6-8 weeks after the initial  appointment is what the first time service encompasses). 

This first touch-up appointment is complimentary and should be scheduled at your first visit, to be performed between 6-8 weeks after your first visit. Important! The touch-up appointment is crucial to achieve optimal results - do not skip this step! But it is of course up to you if you are satisfied with your results and do not wish for a touch up.

Re-scheduling/cancellation of your first Touch-Up :  Clients have 1 attempt to reschedule their complimentary Touch-Up appointment (must notify 48 hrs prior to appointment time).  If client is a no-show to this free touch up appointment - then client will forgo this complimentary procedure. 

Returning Client Touch Ups : All returning Ooh Beauty clients can come in for a touch up at any time of their liking, touch up is then priced by the duration of the last Touch up session on file. See current booking for accurate pricing. 

Healed results will vary with each individual client depending on skin  type and other factors. But most importantly - your results depend on  how well you cared for your new brows during the initial two weeks of  healing.
