Post Care
Right After Your Procedure
Your lips may feel:
swollentender
tight or slightly numb
This is completely normal and usually subsides within 24–72 hours.
Your color will appear much brighter and more saturated initially. As your lips heal, the color will soften and lighten before the final shade settles.
To support healing:
keep lips clean
apply the provided healing balm frequently
avoid touching your lips with unwashed hands
Days 1-2: Hydration & Care
Swelling and tenderness are still normal during the first 48 hours.
During this stage:
apply the healing balm frequently to keep lips moisturized
drink through a straw if possible
gently rinse lips with water after eating
pat dry and reapply balm
Keeping the lips hydrated during this stage helps prevent excessive dryness and uneven healing.
Days 3–5: Peeling Stage
Your lips will begin to feel dry and tight, and light peeling may begin. This is a normal part of the healing process.
Do not pick or peel the skin. Instead:
continue applying balm consistently
allow peeling to occur naturally
avoid exfoliating or rubbing the lips
Picking can remove pigment prematurely and lead to patchy healing.
Days 6-10: Post-Peel Healing
Most visible peeling will be complete during this stage.
Your lips may appear lighter than expected, or the color may seem uneven. This is temporary.
Over the following weeks, the pigment will gradually soften and return as the skin regenerates.
Continue keeping lips hydrated.
Protecting Your Results + Long Term Care
Your lips may go through a phase where the color looks very light or faded. This is part of the normal healing process.
The pigment will slowly bloom back to its final result as the skin fully regenerates.
Final healed results are typically visible around 4–6 weeks.
At that time, your optional 6-8 week perfection touch-up can refine color and density if needed.
Once your lips are healed:
use SPF lip balm when exposed to the sun
keep lips hydrated regularly
avoid aggressive exfoliation
Proper care helps maintain color longevity and keeps your lips looking fresh

Please Note: Effects vary on different individuals, e.g. skin types that affect the attachment of color. Most clients will need 2 sessions; some will only need 1 and some will need a 3rd touch-up to complete the look. Failure to follow aftercare instructions may result in infections, pigment loss or discoloration. The supplies provided in the kit are enough to last through the initial session and touch-up. Should you run out before your touchup, a follow-up kit is available for $15.00.
