Lip Liner and Full Lip

• After 6 hours following your procedure, cleanse the lips with a simple soap or MicroTonic®, then immediately apply LipLock® or AfterInked®.
• Continue gently cleansing and applying ointment 2-3 times per day for 3-4 days (or until all scabbing/crust has come off).
• Avoid sweating such as from vigorous exercise for 24 hours.
• For at least one-week post-procedure or until healing is complete (whichever is longer):
• Keep your hands clean and avoid touching the affected area(s).
• Do not scrub or pick treated areas.
• Do not use peroxide or Neosporin on treated areas.
• Do not expose area to direct sun or to tanning beds.
• Avoid exposing the area excessive moisture or humidity, such as: facials, swimming, whirlpools (hot tubs), saunas, steam rooms, and steamy showers.
• Lips may appear to have too much color in the days following the procedure. You may add makeup to soften the color.
• Scars on the lips from fever blisters cause pigment removal. See our Pre-Procedure Instructions for lips.
• Avoid Retin-A, moisturizers, glycolic acids, exfoliants and anti-aging products at all times (not just during healing) on all micro pigmented areas. These can cause pigments to fade and lighten prematurely.
• Avoid tanning beds, sun, chlorine spas and pools, soap and chemicals (including skin cleansers, makeup removers, alpha hydroxyl creams, and tooth whitening toothpaste) near the treated area until healed.
• Pigments will slowly fade over time according to one’s metabolism, skin type, sun exposure, medication, facial surgery, and smoking. Schedule maintenance visits as needed to keep it looking fresh.
• Periodic touch ups will ensure longer lasting results.
