Are there any contraindications?

Lip blushing is performed with a machine which has a very fine needle that imbeds the colour using a special pixelating technique. As any cosmetic procedure is damaging to the skin and because we are irritating the lip tissue, you may suffer a cold sore outbreak. If you are a cold sore sufferer there is a very high chance that you will have a breakout following the procedure. I highly recommend speaking with your doctor to gain advice of prescription preventatives like Valtrex otherwise, over the counter options are Lysine a vitamin to use 1 month prior to your treatment and Famciclovir for as soon as you feel that tingle. Whilst every precaution is taken, the most advanced technician cannot prevent a cold sore outbreak. Other contraindications included are if you are prone to keloid scarring, hyperpigmentation, suffer from skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, diabetes, pregnant or breast feeding, on blood thinners, taking Accutane or steroids or suffer from any healing conditions.

What factors will affect the result of my lip tattoo?

The amount of pigment absorption may reduce when there is an excessive bleeding during the procedure. Certain food or drink, such as alcohol and caffeine, and certain vitamins or medications may act as stimulants. Thus, you should avoid them at least 48 hours before your appointment. In addition, sun and tanning bed exposure must be avoided 30 days before and after the procedure. This is because the sun may change the color appearance of the pigment and extremely soften the look of your lip tattoo.
