Before and After Care

BEFORE CARE

-Cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding

-No alcohol 24 hr prior 

-No caffeine 24 hr prior

-No filler/Botox 4 weeks prior

-No chemical peel facials 4 weeks prior 

-No intense workout day of appointment

I recommend taking the L-lysine vitamin to help support lip health as soon as 2 weeks before your appointment.

Keep the lips moisturized weeks leading up to your procedure. Lip blush cannot be preformed if the lips are dry and cracked. Staying hydrated will also insure your lips are healthy and smooth, you want to prep your skin and lips to give me the best canvas to work on for the best healed results. Those with a history of cold sores will need to use an anti-viral medication (Zovirax, Valtrex, acyclovir) day of appointment + 3-5 days post lip procedure to minimize the risk of an outbreak. Treatment cannot be preformed if you have an active outbreak.

AFTERCARE

-Day 1-2 clean the area 3x a day with the provided antiseptic wipes and reapply balm multiple times a day 

-Keep reapplying a thin layer of balm multiple times a day to keep the lips moist.
-Make sure to drink all liquids through a straw until lips are healed.
-Keep lips dry besides washing them for 7 days.

-Apply a thicker layer for balm before bathing and brushing your teeth, make sure to keep toothpaste off your lips while healing.

-Do not pick of peel lips while they’re healing.

-No excessive sweating for 7 days.

-No vaping or smoking this can change the color of your lips!
-No sauna or submerging in water/pools for 14days.

-Avoid spicy, hot or citrusy foods for 7 days.

-Do not eat anything that will cause you to overstretch your lips, this will cause cracking.

-No Neosporin or Vaseline while you heal.

-Avoid excessive sun exposure as your lips are still healing. 

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

immediately following your Lip Blush service, your color may appear harsh painted-on looking, but it will soften and be more natural as your lips heal. Over the next 3-7 days, the outer layer of color will appear dry/crusty and start to flake off. Under no circumstances should you pick, scratch or rub the treated area in attempt to remove the dry material. Removing of the dry/crusts may result in the removal of the actual pigment and infection can occur.

As the outer layers flake off, you will notice that the color is lighter and much softer. Over the next 2 weeks color that was implanted under the skin will move forward, please allow a full 6 weeks of healing. You're required to have your follow up appointment 8-10 weeks as this is a two-step procedure.
