Topical anaesthetics are applied to reduce any sensitivity.

We recommend Tugan compounding pharmacy for your pre + stay numb, this can be ordered via their website or over the phone (no script required). Please this immediately upon booking!

By law in QLD we are no longer allowed to supply topical anaesthetic on behalf of clients. Please read your pre procedure email for more info!

You cannot take ibuprofen or aspirin before your appointment as this may thin the blood, cause unwanted bleeding and bruising.

The treatments can be permanent or semi-permanent. In some cases it has been obvious in some skins for over 12 years, which means some skins hold the colour more permanently, especially in the eye area. It is recommended a touch up of colour should be done about every 2 years to keep the treatment as new. If you have a history of cold sores, fever blisters or any type of sore on the lips you will have a recurrence after lip treatments. The virus always lies dormant in the skin and any trauma or stress will activate it. Brittany recommends a course of anti cold sore treatment (such as Zovirax) at least one week prior to any lip procedure. It is important to inform Brittany if you are on medication, suffer with keloid scarring or have any medical problems.

Extended sun exposure, using Retin-A and Glycolic Acid will fade out colour from all treatments. Sun block is necessary at all times. If having a lip treatment, start conditioning lips with a moisturising cream to prevent dryness.

The healing time is minimal for all treatments, hardly noticeable and a small percentage of people do have some swelling, but work and all other activities can continue immediately.

Care Instructions are provided to you on completion of your procedure.

The colour immediately after the treatment will be stronger and darker than your desired colour. You will lose approximately 20-40% of complete colour during the healing process within 4-14 days, excluding full lip colour which you can lose up to 70% during healing.

Minor swelling can be visible for 24-48hrs, this is normal, eyes and lips in particular.

As the colour sheds with cellular exfoliation and softens over time, the colour, intensity and details will require a refresh to bring the design back to life.
