1. If there is any swelling, apply an ice pack to the area for 5 to 10 minute sessions. Redness, swelling and bruising are all common and temporary side effects.
2. Do not eat for at least one (1) hour after the procedure.
3. Initially, apply Aquaphor for the first two days. After which time, apply recommended ointment or non-Vaseline products gently with a cotton swab or Q-Tip 3 to 5 times a day for at least 1 week. Suggested products may include Chapstick “All Natural”, shea butter, Coco butter, Eco Lips from any health food store, Reviva Labs Vitamin E-stick from GNC store, or another lip balm that does not contain Vaseline.
4. Rinse lips with warm water after every meal. Keep absolutely clean.
5. Keep area clean, but do not wash with soap for 4 days. Do not rub skin vigorously when washing your face for at least 10 days.
6. You should drink with a straw and use a spoon to introduce food into the mouth for the first 24 hours. You may also want to avoid salty or sour food.
7. Keep area dry. Try to refrain from licking lips immediately after procedure.
8. Your lips will feel chapped for a few days. Applying recommend ointment will help eliminate this feeling.
9. Do not swim in pools or hot tubs for 30 days. If you must use a pool or hot tub, keep lip area as dry as possible and use a light coat of petroleum jelly/ointment on area before entering pool.
10. Avoid the sun as much as possible during the healing process. After the healing stage, always wear sunscreen, at least SPF 30, whenever you are in the sun.
11. NEVER use any lotions or soaps containing Glycolic, Hydroxy or fruit acids on your lips.
12. After approximately 3 days, some of the permanent lip color will flake slightly. Do not try to remove it vigorously with a washcloth or cotton swab. Let flaking occur naturally. With early removal of pigment flakes may result in areas with insufficient pigment.
13. If the area should itch after approximately 3 days, use recommended ointment or apply ice for a few minutes.
14. Do not apply makeup to the tattooed area for 3 days. Use of long-wearing lip stick is not recommended.
15. Around the 5th or 6th day, 50% of the implanted color (depending on the color chosen) may have flaked off and appear too light. Do not panic! This is normal and expected. You now view the color from underneath the skin. Lips change color more than any other procedure. The color gradually returns during the month of healing. Color can even change daily, depending on whether you’re cold, dehydrated or on certain medications. This is the result of the natural blue undertone that is in your lips. Please note that all fine detail work and color modifications are performed in the second session.
16. Signs and symptoms of infection include, but not limited to, severe redness, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature, or purulent drainage from the procedure site. Discharge from site may be green/yellow in color and foul in odor.
Contact DEMI SATO and seek medical care if any signs or symptoms of infection develop.
Failure to follow post-treatment instructions may cause loss of pigment, discoloration or infection. Remember, colors appear brighter and more sharply defined immediately following the procedure. As the healing progresses, color will soften. A touch-up procedure may or may not be necessary. Final results cannot be determined until healing is complete. If this is your original, first permanent makeup procedure, a free touch-up is provided within three months of the initial visit. Touch-up procedures must be made between 30-90 days following the procedure. Additional fees may apply for touch-ups after 90 days following the procedure. If necessary, an appointment for a touch-up can be made.mmediately Following Cosmetic Tattoo Procedure:
Apply ice to treated area for 10 - 30 minutes. Ice helps reduce swelling and aids in healing.
For 14 days following application of permanent cosmetics:
* Apply recommended ointment sparingly twice a day for seven days following the procedure, using a clean cotton swab or a Q-Tip; not your fingertips.
* Do not rub or pick at the epithelial crust; allow it to flake off on its own. There should be absolutely no scrubbing, no cleansing creams or chemicals. Gently cleanse the intradermal cosmetic area with a mild antibacterial soap. You may rinse with water and lightly pat the area dry. Do not expose treated area to full pressure of the water in the shower.
* Do not soak treated area in bath, swimming pool or hot tub. Do not swim in fresh, salt or
chlorinated pool water.
* Do not expose the treated area to the sun.
* Use a total sun block after the procedure area has healed to prevent future fading of pigment color.
* Do not use mascara or eyelash curler for seven days post procedure. When you resume use purchase a new tube, the old tube may have bacteria in it.
* You cannot give blood for 1 year following your procedure (per American Red Cross).
