Before you decide on giving your lips a semi permanent makeup tattoo treatment, you’ll undoubtedly want to know what you’re getting yourself into. To help you make the right decision, it’s good to know that:
- Lip tattoos take between seven and 10 days to heal.
- You need not take time off work following the procedure
- The colour intensity will fade up to 40-60% after the first treatment, which is why we recommend a top up 6-8 weeks later.
- Full consultation is undertaken before treatment, and all treatments are performed by a qualified practitioner
- Clients who have suffered from cold sores (Herpes virus – Herpes simplex) can experience symptoms of the infection after the treatment to the lips. Anti-herpes medication is available over the counter or on prescription, and has been shown to prevent or minimize such outbreaks.
- Lips after the procedure may appear very flaky/crusty for up to one week following the procedure, and it is important to keep the lips moisturised during this time.
