What To Do Before Your Microblading Procedure
How to Prep for your Lip~Service 😉
🧴:The Prep:🧴
If you’ve ever hired a professional painter they will tell you that “it’s all in the prep”. Professional painters know that they get the best results when they spend extra time sanding, filling holes, making sure edges are smooth, and applying the right primer. Well, Lip PMU is very similar. You will get much better results when you properly prep.
It all starts with a good canvas! The procedure area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive and non-irritated. Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure.
👍🏻: THE DO'S:👍🏻
-
2-3 days prior to your appointment using a gentle scrub on your lips, ( if you don't have a facial scrub, use a teaspoon of sugar and mix it with your cleanser. Be sure to not over-scrub (gentle pressure)
-
After you have washed and dried the area, apply a Moisturizing LipBalm or Aquaphor to the lips a minimum of 3 times a day up to your appointment day.
