Lip Blush Pre/Post Care

LIP BLUSH PRE-CARE:

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE BEST HEALED RESULTS.

  • You cannot be pregnant or breast feeding.

  • Lightly exfoliate your lips three days prior to your appointment.

  • No caffeine the day of your appointment.

  • No blood thinners 24 hours prior to your appointment (vitamin e, fish oil, niacin, ibuprofen, aspirin, prescription blood thinners)

  • No alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment.

  • No tanning one week prior to your appointment.

  • No antibiotics four weeks prior to your appointment.

What to Expect

Following the procedure, your lips will most likely be swollen. No worries, this is normal!

For the first few hours, frequently wipe away any lymph fluid that appears from your lips. After the first few hours, please apply the provided balm at least three times a day to avoid letting your lips dry out.

When drinking, please use a straw to avoid any protentional contamination to your healing lips. When eating, be sure to avoid oily, spicy, and heavily salted foods. Also, after each meal, gently rinse and clean your lips with water, then dry them with a clean paper towel, and finally re-apply the balm.

LIP BLUSH POST-CARE:

❋ DAYS 1 & 2:

❋ THE FOLLOWING 3-6 DAYS:

At this stage in the healing process, your lips will begin to feel dry and start peeling. DO NOT pick your lips, instead, let the flaking happen naturally.

You can help mitigate the appearance of dryness by consistently hydrating your lips with the provided balm.

❋ WEEK 2:

Your lips are no longer peeling, the color is lighter, and you can resume your normal routine! Your lips will continue to fully heal for up to 6 weeks.

Each week more color will surface; however, it’s still important to keep the lips hydrated to ensure the best healed result. It’s normal for lips to heal slightly patchy after the initial session. The color and shape will be perfected at the 6-8 week follow up session.

❋ WHAT TO AVOID DAYS 1-7:

  • Spicy foods, hot liquids, alcohol

  • Excessive sweating

  • Direct sun exposure

  • Rubbing/picking the lips

  • No makeup (besides balm) on the lips until fully healed (-10 days)

  • Facial treatments

  • Abrasive materials such as towels

  • Swimming, salt water, direct water spray on the lips

Acyclovir is to be taken as directed prior, during, and after your cosmetic service. The prescription will be filled to provide enough medication for your first and second session. Medication is to be taken starting the day before your procedure- one in the morning and one in the evening for a total of five days. The same protocol should be followed for the second session.
