how to book an appointment

  1. Before booking an appointment, please send a clear photo of your lips with no makeup to bookings@prettyfaceink.com or message @prettyfaceink.adl on Instagram. We’ll have a quick chat about what you would like to achieve.

  2. Please also send me two to three of your preferred dates to book. I am available all day Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have limited availability all other weeknights after 6pm.

  3. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your appointment. It entitles you to one reschedule if a minimum of 24 hours notice is given. The remaining balance will be paid on the day. Please note that card transactions will incur a 1.8% surcharge.

  4. Booking your appointment confirms that you understand and meet the eligibility criteria and will follow the the important pre-care instructions below.

(pre-care instructions)

  • Keep your lips well-moisturised. Use a nourishing lip balm frequently. Nourished and hydrated lips are key to a comfortable procedure and great results.

  • Exfoliate the dead skin on your lips every night a few days leading up to the appointment. A DIY lip scrub can be made using 2 tsp sugar and 1 tsp oil/honey.

  • Drink plenty of water days leading up to the appointment to ensure your lips are hydrated.

  • Bring your favourite everyday lipstick so we can try to colour match as closely as possible. A photo reference works too.

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior. This includes coffee, tea, bubble tea, pre-workout, energy drinks etc. Consumption may lead to excessive swelling, bleeding or bruising.

  • Stop blood thinning medication 72 hours before treatment. Avoid fish oil, ibuprofen, aspirin etc to prevent excessive bleeding.

  • Cold sore medication and lysine supplements are highly recommended before the procedure as a preventative measure. If you have experienced cold sore/fever blisters (even if it was one years and years ago) medication before and after is a MUST. Please see your doctor/pharmacist for anti-viral meds and take it before your appointment.

  • For your comfort, it is highly recommended that you eat beforehand and bring a big jacket/blanket to put over yourself during the procedure.

*Please note, lips cannot be dry, cracked or chapped. No active acne, sunburns, cuts or blisters should be present around the mouth area. Your deposit may be forfeited if pre-care is not followed and the procedure cannot go ahead.

The best results require the best aftercare

  • Immediately after

    Blot your lips every 30 minutes for the first three hours with the wipes provided. This will remove lymph fluid and helps minimise scabbing. Apply a cool compress and sleep elevated on day 1 to reduce swelling.

  • Keep it clean

    Wipe your lips after you eat or drink. Only use clean hands or q tips to apply a thin layer of the aftercare cream after each wipe (too little cream is better than too much).

  • Cya makeup

    Do not use makeup on or close to your lips for the first week. Not that you’ll need the lipstick anyway!

  • No sun exposure

    Avoid the sun for the first 14 days. Use fragrance-free SPF lip balm and a hat to help.

  • No picking

    Do not pick or scrub at the crust and dry skin that forms. Allow it to flake off naturally around day 3 onwards.

  • Avoiding food?

    It’s recommended that you use a straw to drink the first few days. Avoid burning your lips with hot and spicy food.

  • No smooching

    Avoid kissing (even your pets) for a minimum of 72 hours to prevent infection risks.

  • Change masks regularly

    If you wear a mask, please remember to change into a clean one regularly to avoid infections.

  • Night-time routine

    Do not use active ingredients (e.g. retinol) around the mouth area for 30 days. Avoid teeth whitening products for the first 7 days.

  • No smoking

    Do not smoke during the healing process. Smoking may cause pigmentation and darkens the lip.
