Do I need a consultation?
Yes, we require a consultation with the artist at least two weeks before your desired appointment date so she can show you a presentation and that way we can order the color you decide on. We special order lip colors per client.
Should I bring anything to the consultation that would help?
Yes, please bring any items used daily, i.e lip pencils and lipsticks. This is helpful to see what colour tones you use and feel comfortable with.
How will my lips look and feel right after treatment?
Lips will generally feel tender and there may be slight swelling, which is normal. During the next 2 to 5 days your lips will feel dry and flaky during its healing process.
Should I avoid specific foods?
It would be advised to avoid spicy or salty foods whilst the lips are healing.
Are lip procedures more painful?
Lips are more sensitive compared to the brows or eyes; this is due to an increased blood supply and greater surface. A topical numbing cream can be used prior to treatment to ease any discomfort to you.
I have a history of cold sores, will this prevent me from having this treatment?
No, however, whilst permanent makeup does not ‘cause’ cold sores, a known history subsequently means you carry the virus. Due to the type of procedure in permanent make up, it can be known to waken the virus, which lies dormant in the body. It is recommended you see your doctor beforehand, and apply an antiviral drug 5 days pre treatment and 5 days post treatment to help minimize any risk.
What if I have a cold sore on the day of treatment?
If you have a visible cold sore on the day of treatment, we would need to postpone for at least 14 days after cold sore is totally healed. However, please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, as there is a full week cancellation policy.
Can I wax or bleach my lips prior to treatment?
If you are to wax or bleach your lips, please do so at least 7 days prior to your scheduled treatment.
