Who should avoid Lip Blush ?
​ 

1. Those prone to keloids or post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. Unfortunately, since Lip Blush punctures the skin as we add ink, we cannot work with clients with these conditions.
2. Diabetes.  Depending on the type and severity, a Medical clearance may be needed.
3. Are on blood-thinners.  We recommend not to be on any blood thinners prior to your Lip Blush  procedure. If this is required by a physician DO NOT discontinue to take your medication. Speak with your artist about an alternative. Depending on the blood thinner and how frequently taken we may just suggest a different technique to give you still a beautiful result.
4. If you have an Auto-immune.   We will need a medical clearance to perform the procedure.
5. If you’ve had Juvederm or other fillers in that area. Depending on the timing, we recommend to get Lip Blush first. 
6. Patients undergoing chemotherapy. Although Lip Blush is great for restoring your lip color, we would require a doctor’s note in order to perform the procedure for anyone undergoing chemotherapy.
7. If you have any kind of skin condition on or near your Lips. This includes eczema, shingles, rashes, or anything around the area. 
8. History of cold sores.  We REQUIRE you to be on an antiviral (such as Valtrex) as a precaution to avoid an outbreak. This will need to be prescribed to you by your general physician. 
9. Those with allergies to alcohol or numbing agents. If you think you might have an allergy to our ink, numbing cream, or alcohol (which is in the ink), then you may have a reaction to our work.
10. Under the age of 18 ! We do not recommend any Permanent Make-up  for anyone under the age of 18. It is our policy at Forever cosmetics NJ not to work with children, even with a consent form.

Lip Blush procedure Protocol

​​How to prepare for your Lip Blush appointment.
1. Gently Exfoliate Lips day before procedure. Dry or chapped lips will not help the pigment penetrate and will result in loss of pigment.  
2. You must be on an Anti- Viral (prescribed by your physician) such as Valtrex for a total of 7 days. 3 Days prior to procedure, day of procedure, and 3 days following your
3. procedure, no exceptions. This is a preventive for HSV1.
4. A Negative covid test is required for any lip procedures due to the nature of its service and proximity between artist/client. 
5. Clients must remain with their mask on until procedure starts. Clients must return to wearing a mask when done with the procedure to protect themselves and our staff.

 How to care for your new Lips. 
- Post care (Healing time 5-7 days)
- Avoid spicy and salty foods
- Avoid applying lipstick/makeup on the area
- Gently apply a thin layer Vaseline or aquaphor with a Q-tip to keep the area moist at all times. 
- Avoid water on the lips. Avoid hot showers
- Do not pick or remove any scabs, or skin that will naturally peel off during the healing process. 
- Avoid toothpaste on the lips as much as possible while brushing teeth. 
- Your final lip results will take a full 6 weeks.

** It is normal to notice loss of color during the first week and then return slowly in the weeks after.
