Lip Blush Guide

PRE-CARE

POST-CARE

To ensure the best results from your treatments, adhere to your pre and post-care instructions provided. Following these guidelines is essential to avoid unnecessary rescheduling or deposit forfeiture.

  • Four Weeks Before Your Appointment

    • Avoid Botox, fillers, or injectable treatments around the lip area.

    • Avoid chemical peels, laser treatments, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, or intensive skincare treatments.

    • Discontinue the use of retinoids (Retin-A), Vitamin A, and strong anti-aging products around the treatment area.

    Two Weeks Before Your Appointment

    • Avoid facials, waxing, peels, or exfoliating treatments around the lips.

    • Avoid tanning, excessive sun exposure, or arriving with a sunburned face.

    • Please reschedule your appointment if you are feeling unwell or have a compromised immune system.

    One Week Before Your Appointment

    • Avoid blood-thinning supplements and medications that are not medically required, including fish oil, Vitamin E, turmeric, cayenne supplements, DHA supplements, niacin, and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, or Naproxen.

    • Avoid smoking and marijuana use prior to your appointment.

    • Keep your lips hydrated daily with a nourishing lip balm.

    Cold Sore Prevention:
    If you have a history of cold sores, fever blisters, or have previously carried the herpes simplex virus, lip blush may trigger an outbreak. Please consult with your physician prior to your appointment. If recommended by your doctor, prescribed antiviral medication such as Acyclovir, Zovirax, or Valtrex may help prevent or reduce the severity of an outbreak.

    1–3 Days Before Your Appointment

    • Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine consumption, including coffee and tea.

    • Gently exfoliate your lips approximately 2 days before your appointment to remove dry skin.

    • Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

    Day of Your Appointment

    • Avoid exercise before your appointment.

    • Avoid caffeine before your appointment.

    • Arrive with clean lips and avoid wearing makeup around the treatment area.

    • Feel free to bring inspiration photos or examples of preferred lip tones and shapes. These references help us create a result that aligns with your desired aesthetic.

  • Your lips will go through several stages of healing following your appointment. Changes in colour, texture, and sensitivity are a normal part of the process. Following these aftercare instructions carefully will support optimal healing and long-lasting results.

    Day 1: Immediately After Your Appointment

    Following your treatment, your lips may appear more vibrant in colour and may feel dry, tight, tender, or slightly swollen. These are normal responses as your lips begin the healing process.

    • Using a clean paper towel, apply gentle pressure to the lips for approximately 4 hours following your appointment to absorb any excess lymph fluid.

    • After this period, apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment to keep your lips hydrated.

    • Avoid kissing, rubbing, or any unnecessary friction on the treated area.

    Days 1–3: Hydration & Protection

    During the first few days, your lips require consistent moisture and gentle care.

    • Apply your aftercare ointment throughout the day to keep your lips comfortably hydrated.

    • Avoid spicy, oily, heavily seasoned, or irritating foods.

    • After eating, gently rinse your lips, pat dry, and reapply ointment.

    • Avoid touching your lips unless applying aftercare with clean hands or a clean cotton swab.

    Days 4–7: Peeling & Colour Transition

    During this stage, your lips may begin to peel as part of the natural healing process. Colour may appear significantly lighter as the skin renews.

    • Allow your lips to naturally exfoliate—do not pick, peel, or rub away dry skin.

    • Continue keeping your lips moisturized throughout the day.

    • Remember that the healed colour will gradually return as your skin continues to regenerate.

    Weeks 2–6: Continued Healing

    Once peeling has finished, your lips may appear softer and lighter in colour. This is completely normal. Pigment will continue to develop and settle over the following weeks.

    • Continue maintaining hydration for the best healed results.

    • Your final colour will continue to evolve as your lips fully heal.

    Weeks 6–8: Fully Healed Results

    Your lips are considered fully healed around the 6–8 week mark. At this stage, your true healed colour will be visible.

    A perfection session is recommended to refine the shape, adjust colour, and complete your desired lip blush result.

    During the First 14 Days, Please Avoid:

    • Exercise that causes excessive sweating, swimming, saunas, hot tubs, and prolonged heat exposure.

    • Direct sun exposure and UV exposure.

    • Chemical treatments, laser treatments, or active skincare products (including Retin-A, glycolic acid, or exfoliants) on or near the treated area.

    • Touching the treated area unnecessarily.

    • Environments with excessive airborne debris or conditions that may expose the area to contaminants.

    • Excessive alcohol consumption, as it may interfere with the healing process.
