LIP TATTOO

PRE-CARE

• Cold sore prevention is an important part of preparing for your lip appointment. It’s estimated that 1 in 3 people carry the virus that can cause cold sores, even if they have never experienced an outbreak before. Because lip blushing is a form of tattooing, the procedure can sometimes trigger a flare-up.

For this reason, it is highly recommended to begin an antiviral medication prior to your appointment, as prescribed by your healthcare provider. This is the most effective way to prevent an outbreak and protect your results.

If a cold sore does occur, taking L-lysine may help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. However, antiviral medication remains the most reliable option for prevention and management.

Please plan accordingly and consult with your doctor if you have any history of cold sores or are unsure how to proceed.

• No lip fillers (2–4 weeks prior)

• Keep lips hydrated & exfoilated

• No alcohol/caffeine (24 hrs prior)
