YOU ARE READY FOR YOUR NEW AND BEAUTIFUL LIPS

You must be off any and all Retin-A or Retinol products for a minimum of 7 days prior to your appointment and 30 days post appointment. These products can cause premature and extreme color loss. If you decide to continue your Retin-A or Retinol use do not apply on the treated area and please keep in mind that Obey Lashay Permanent Makeup Las Vegas is not responsible for the loss of color in your cosmetic tattoo.
If you are experiencing any blemishes, acne, cold sores, any other skin irritations, or have a mole in or around the area of procedure please contact Obey Lashay Permanent Makeup Las Vegas immediately via phone call or text for a consultation. It is up to the discretion of our artists to decide whether or not they have a workable surface. Failure to communicate any of these may result in a cancellation or rescheduling of your appointment. All deposits are nonrefundable.
If you receive Botox, please ensure you leave 2-3 weeks in between session to ensure it doesn’t effect the overall symmetry of your new cosmetic tattoo.
We refrain from working on individuals on Accutane and require our clients to be off the medication for a minimum of 1 year before receiving Lip Blushing.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer or any extreme illnesses in the past, we require for you to have been in remission for a minimum of 1 year and have a signed note by a licensed physician in order to receive Lip Blushing. The safety of our clients is our first priority.
Appointment Day
If possible, please attend your Lip Blushing appointment with a cleansed face. A workable surface is key to a successful session.
Please ensure you come to the appointment well hydrated and well fed. The process takes several hours and we want to ensure you’re in a state of comfort.
Exfoliate once and hydrate lips CONSTANTLY for 24 hours prior to appointment. Hydrated lips hold the best results. Use a hydrating lip balm, chapstick, lip cream, etc.
Sensitivity is heightened during menstrual cycles.
No guests or children are permitted within the sessions, please attend your appointment solo.
Note: Although we’ve seen excellent results achieved in a single session, it is best to come in with the mindset that multiple session are sometimes required to achieve optimal results. Touch ups give us an opportunity to see how your skin heals, review pigment retention, and make any necessary adjustments.
The Healing Process
Taking care of your new lips after treatment is extremely important to how your lips will look after they are fully healed and the longevity of your lip color.
Our Obey Lashay Esthetics Master Artists created a masterpiece fused with your own natural beauty, as they were trained to do, but taking care of it afterwards is your responsibility so we highly recommend to follow these aftercare instructions methodically:
Immediately following the procedure, lips will feel dry, chapped, tight and tender to the touch. They may appear swollen and bright in color as well
For 4 hours after treatment, apply light pressure on lips with a clean paper towel, to remove any lymph. After 4 hours start applying ointment as needed to keep lips constantly moist
No kissing, rubbing or friction on treatment area.
Apply ointment on lips several times a day, keep lips moist at all times. Avoid oily, spicy and heavy seasoned food and drink with a straw. After every meal gently rinse and clean lips with water then pat dry and re-apply ointment.
At this stage lips will start peeling and be completely done peeling, color will lighten by 30%-50%. Do not pick or rub your lips and let the peeling happen naturally. Continue keeping lips moist!
Lips are done peeling, color is light. Client may return to normal routines. Lips will continue to heal, up to 6 weeks. Every week more color will surface, it is important to continue keeping lip moist to get the best color at the end of healing phase.
Your lips are healed and you’re feeling unstoppable!!! Just add some lip gloss and go! In most cases it requires two treatments to complete the lip transformation.
