Aftercare Instructions

Nurture your new look with care—follow these steps for lasting results and to get the most out of your investment.

01

General Aftercare

  • NO TOUCHING: Do not touch, scratch, rub, or wipe the treated area to reduce infection risk and maintain the results.

  • NO PICKING: Let shedding happen naturally. Picking, peeling, and tugging on flakes on skin can cause pigment loss or scarring.

  • Using Skincare/Makeup: Avoid applying makeup, skincare, or additional products or/around the treated area for at least 10 days.

  • Protect Your Investment: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 4 weeks. Once healed, use SPF to maintain color and prevent fading.

Caring for Lips

  • Keep Lips Clean: Gently blot your lips with a clean tissue to remove lymph fluid for the first 24 hours. Do not touch your lips with dirty hands.

  • Avoid Irritants: Avoid spicy foods, smoking, alcohol, or acidic drinks like citrus or coffee for 48 hours.

  • Moisturize: Apply the provided ointment 2-3 times a day or as needed for 7-10 days. 

  • Avoid Wetting Lips: Keep lips dry for 72 hours except for applying aftercare ointment. Use a straw for drinking and avoid licking your lips.

03

Caring for Brows

  • Keep Brows Dry: Gently blot the brows with a clean tissue every 1-2 hours for the first 24 hours to prevent scabbing.

  • Keep Brows Clean: Wash brows in the direction of hair growth, with the provided Aftersoap, morning and night for the next 10 days.

03

Things to Remember
