IMPORTANT-
Note on Herpes Simplex Labials (HSV) : with stress, fever, infection, allergies, sunburns and, yes, a PMU treatment can induce a breakout.
Therefore, we suggest that PMU clients with a history of cold sore breakouts or fever blister, consult with their physician if they’d like to take preventive measures. 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.
Clients who have never had sores can take an over-the-counter L-lysine supplement.
We also suggest, pending doctor approval, clients continue taking the medication or supplements for up to 6 days after the PMU procedure.
We do retail an aftercare product that is highly recommended to soothe and moisturize full lip color procedures AND has the added protection of a herpes inhibitor, local anesthetic and herbal antioxidants for healing. A real Favorite!
Note on the health condition Mitral Valve Prolapse, you MUST obtain a prescription for prophylactic antibiotics and have a doctor note of approval of lip tattooing.
