After Care PMU Lips
The Importance of After care
Aftercare is crucial when getting Permanent Makeup (PMU) lips to ensure optimal healing, color retention, and overall results. Proper aftercare minimizes the risk of infection, reduces inflammation, and helps the lips heal smoothly. It involves keeping the lips moisturized, avoiding excessive touching, and steering clear of activities that could disrupt the healing process, such as exposure to the sun, swimming, or applying makeup. Adhering to aftercare instructions provided by the technician is essential for achieving the desired outcome, as neglecting these guidelines can lead to complications, uneven pigmentation, and longer healing times.
To ensure and maintain beautiful results as shown, you MUST follow after care instructions.
These typically include several steps to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Here are some common guidelines,
Keep Lips Clean: Gently cleanse the lips with a damp cotton pad or clean cloth to remove any lymphatic fluid. Avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals.
Moisturize: Apply a thin layer of the provided ointment or a recommended healing balm regularly to keep the lips moist and prevent them from drying out. Avoid using petroleum-based products unless specifically advised by your technician.
Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching your lips with unwashed hands to prevent infection. Avoid picking or scratching at any scabs or flakes that form.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, which aids in the healing process.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your lips from direct sunlight by wearing a hat or using a lip balm with SPF. Avoid tanning beds as well.
No Makeup: Do not apply any makeup or other cosmetics to the lips until they are fully healed, typically around 7-10 days.
Avoid Certain Foods and Activities: Steer clear of spicy, salty, or acidic foods that may irritate your lips. Also, avoid activities that cause excessive sweating, swimming in pools or hot tubs, and any activities that involve submerging your face in water.
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and alcohol can impede the healing process and should be avoided during the initial healing period.
Follow Up Appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your technician to assess healing and make any necessary adjustments.
By adhering to these aftercare instructions, you can help ensure a smooth healing process and achieve the best possible results from your PMU lip procedure.
