-Lip Cold sores- If you have a cold sore and are having lips done you will not be able to have the procedure done. Please notify Jamie as soon as you know you have one. If you have ever had one in the past and are having lips done preventative cold sore medication is HIGHLY recommended. A prescription prior to the appt and taking the medication can help prevent a cold sore breakout. If you haven’t contracted one you can choose to take preventive medication prior as well.
*Best to notify technician of any medications or supplements used
*Also any allergies
If you have ever had a fever blister or cold sore then it is HIGHLY recommended that you take an anti viral prior to your appointment such as Valtrex or Zovirax.
Do not exercise the day of your procedure
Make sure you do not have any important events for 3 days after as the lips may look bright and swell possibly bruise.
Do not take aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, fish oil or ibuprofen for 72 hours prior.
No alcohol or caffeinated products 24 hours prior.
Immediately following the procedure, your look may be harsh and painted on looking, but it will soften up and look more natural as you heal. A lot like an oil painting right after and heals like a watercolor. The intensity of the procedure is most prominent following the procedure itself. Over the next 3-7 days, the outer layer of color will appear crusty and start to flake off. Special care should be done while the treated area is healing. Under no circumstances should you pick, scratch or rub the treated area or attempt to remove the crusty material. Removing of the crusts may result in the removal of the actual pigment and/or infection may occur. It is important that this protective “cover” stay on during the healing process (three to seven days). As the outer layer flakes off, you will notice that the color is lighter and softer. For the following two weeks, color that was implanted under the skin will move forward (bloom). After one month, your healing process should be complete.
After you leave, if you’d like you can apply ice packs for 10 to 15 minutes each hour for the first 4-8 hours following the procedure. The ice is used to reduce swelling and provide comfort.
Gently blot with a cleansing wipe or clean, damp cloth every hour for the 1st four hours.
No soap, cleanser or shampoo on the treated area for seven (7) days. Doing so would be detrimental to the bonding process of pigment and skin required for the pigment to become permanent. Be careful with toothpaste and mouthwash are considered “soap” and will remove lip color, so proceed with caution when using.
All cleansing should be done with a clean Q-tip dipped in cool water and gently dabbed on the treated area. Do not rub the area in any way.
Apply Aquaphor or A & D ointment with a Q-Tip in the procedure area several times per day (Do not use mineral oil or petroleum based products such as Vaseline.) This is to be done in a gentle dabbing motion as not to disrupt the pigmentation bonding process. This will keep the area moist and accelerate the healing. Do not let the area dry out, keep moist at all times. Check your lips every thirty (30) minutes, re-apply ointment as necessary. Do not press or rub when applying ointment. Apply an extra heavy coat of ointment to the treated area before bedtime, bath or washing and immediately upon waking in the am. If any form of redness, tenderness, drainage, fever or rash occurs, please contact Jamie Harlan or your health care provider immediately!
You can bathe or showers but do not wash, scrub or touch the treatment area. Hot, steamy baths and showers should be avoided completely. After two weeks, you may resume all regular activities.
When brushing teeth for the first three (3) days, coat lips with a lot of ointment before brushing and use a minimal amount of toothpaste.
For the first two (2) days, use a straw when drinking liquids; avoid sandwiches, biting into fruit or foods that might cause friction to the lips. Smoking is discouraged for optimal results.
Do not use any lipstick or cosmetics on or near the treated area for seven (7) days. The procedure, even after the first treatment, looks so natural that you can feel very secure appearing in public without any additional makeup on the affected area. This rule applies also to non-allergic makeup, as it may contain chemicals that interfere with the bonding process. If or whenever you do begin using cosmetics again, invest in a new lipstick to support your new look. This will eliminate the possibility of bacteria breeding in an old container.
For at least two (2) weeks, you need to minimize exposure to the sun. I discourage swimming in fresh, salt or chlorinated pool water.
If needed, over-the-counter Tylenol is recommended for temporary relief of pain.
If you use Retin-A, do not allow it touch the treated area for thirty (30) days. It will cause the area to peel and lighten.
Since your procedure is facial, I recommend you sleep on a clean satin pillowcase for seven (7) nights. This will minimize the loss of pigmentation caused by rubbing against a cotton, textured pillowcase as you sleep.
Special care should be exercised while the treated area is healing. Under no circumstances should you pick, scratch or rub the treated area or attempt to remove the crusty material. Removing of the crusts may result in the removal of the actual pigment and/or infection may occur. It is important that this protective “cover” stay on during the healing process (three to six days).
Always use good health habits.

Variations to these recommendations are not encouraged and will most likely affect the final outcome of your procedure, if not totally remove the implantations.
