LIPS PRECARE

To ensure the best retention, it is recommended to exfoliate the lips a week prior to procedure by using a small toothbrush or washcloth. After exfoliating, apply vaseline or aquaphor for moisture. The softer and moisturized your lips are, the easier it is to implant the pigment. If your lips are too dry, we will not be able to proceed with the procedure.
