The lips may remain swollen for another couple of days. Keep the lips moisturized at all times. Do NOT let lips dry out. Apply ointment to the lips every 30 minutes.
Color will fade during the healing process. It will take 6-8 weeks to heal and another 6-8 weeks after your touch-up to see final results.

Once fully healed, wear SPF 30 sunscreen to preserve color for longer.
