COLD SORES & FEVER BLISTERS
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND: talking to your healthcare provider about prescribing you an antiviral medication to prevent an outbreak of cold sores/fever blisters. Doctors can prescribe an antiviral treatment to start 2-3 days before the PMU procedure using drugs such as: Valtrex (1500mg) Valacyclovir, Acyclovir, Famvir and Famciclovir, and 4 -6 or more days after or as prescribed by your Doctor.
Lip Blush Tattooing cannot give you HSV-1 but it can cause enough stress on your system to cause the dormant virus to awaken.
*Clients who have never had cold sores can take an over-the-counter L-lysine supplement but a prescription from your healthcare provider is recommended
STOP 24 Hour before your appointment:
-
no alcohol
-
no caffeine or energy drinks
-
Do not exercise
-
No tanning
-
Do NOT take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, and/or Ibuprofen, Omega 3, unless medically necessary (Tylenol or acetaminophen is okay!)
-
no sparkle, glitter face powders makeup (brow makeup is ok with permanent makeup appointments)
-
Eyeliner NO eye contacts (bring glasses)
-
no eye makeup for eyeliner
-
no lipstick, lip stains etc for lip blush

Approximate Healing Schedule
1-3 Days: Your fresh permanent makeup will appear 20-40% darker, bolder and more solid than your healed result due to oxidation of the pigment and the nature of the procedure. The skin is red and pigment has been deposited into the top layers of the skin, giving it a darker appearance. There may be minimal swelling, tenderness, redness, bruising
3-10 Days: The top layers of skin will begin to shed and you may see a loss of color. This is normal! Your pigmented area may begin to itch and the pigment may appear somewhat raised.
7-10+ Days: The skin is now exfoliating, it very important to not pick, scratch, rub, must heal and exfoliate naturally. The color may appear light as you are still healing. Don’t critique till the 6th week of healing
4-8 Weeks: Now is the time to critique. Some of the strokes and color may have faded, this is part of the healing process. All cosmetic tattooing is a minimum 2 session procedure, you must have your 2nd session no sooner than 6 weeks and no later than12 weeks.
All Permanent Makeup and Microblading needs 2 sessions, in some cases more sessions may be needed.
Everyone goes through different timing of the stages, the amount of retention, the amount of flakiness etc.. and it's all "normal"...
