Enhance Your Beauty with Inkredible Beauty

For a successful lip appointment, it is important to ensure that your lips are not dry. If your lips are dry, we will need to reschedule your appointment, and unfortunately, your deposit will be forfeited. To prepare your lips, you may exfoliate them three days before your appointment to remove any dry skin. You can use a lip scrub or create your own using a small amount of honey and brown sugar. In the week leading up to the appointment, it is crucial to moisturize your lips as much as possible. I recommend using Aquaphor for this purpose.

​

IMPORTANT Please be aware that cold sores pose a risk for lip blush tattooing. If you have had a cold sore in the past, we strongly advise you to consult a doctor for an anti-viral medication before any lip procedure to help prevent an outbreak. Even if you have not had a cold sore before, I recommend that all my clients take L-Lysine two weeks before the appointment and continue taking it for two weeks after the appointment to reduce the risk.

• DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL, CAFFEINE OR TAKE ANY BLOOD THINNERS (ASPIRIN, IBUPROFEN, NIACIN 48 HOURS BEFORE YOUR PROCEDURE, THIS WILL CAUSE EXCESS BLEEDING AND MAY AFFECT YOUR RESULTS). 
• YOU MAY EXPERIENCE HYPERSENSITIVITY AND MORE PAIN AROUND OR DURING YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE.
• COSMETIC BOTOX OR FILLERS SHOULD BE DONE 2 WEEKS PRIOR OR 2 WEEKS AFTER 

After your lip treatment, expect your lips to feel swollen and very dry. Apply ointment multiple times a day for at least 14 days following the treatment to prevent dryness, which can interfere with the healed color. Use a clean q-tip, not your fingers, to apply the ointment and reduce the risk of infection.

Once your lips are no longer tender, they may become flaky. This is normal, but avoid picking or scratching at them as it can reduce pigment absorption. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and direct water pressure until your lips are fully healed. Use sunblock on your lips once they have healed and avoid using glycolic, hydroxy, or fruit acid products. You can resume wearing lipstick after healing.

Redness, swelling, tenderness, and dryness are common post-treatment side effects that will dissipate shortly. Avoid oily, salty, acidic foods, and alcohol during the healing process.

Please note that lips are unpredictable, and some clients may require a touch-up session to achieve the desired results. Results can vary based on individual factors such as sun damage, scar tissue, and implants. If you have a history of fever blisters, cold sores, or chickenpox, it is advised to consult a doctor for anti-viral medication prior to the procedure. Follow all pre and post-treatment instructions, and schedule a lip retouch 30 to 45 days after the initial session for optimal color retention.

Lips undergo three stages of healing: too dark, too light, and just right. This process takes approximately one month, so avoid friction on the lip area

Color is customized based off of your skin undertone, personal preference, and goals
