Lip Blushing Pre-Care Instructions

Following these guidelines before your appointment will help ensure the best possible results and a smooth healing process.

  1. Avoid Blood Thinners

    • Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications at least 48 hours before your appointment. If you are on prescription blood thinners, consult with your doctor before discontinuing use.

  2. Limit Alcohol and Caffeine

    • Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior to the procedure, as these can increase sensitivity and bleeding.

  3. Hydrate

    • Ensure your lips are well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment.

  4. Lip Care

    • Gently exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush the day before your appointment to remove dead skin. Follow with a nourishing lip balm to keep them moisturized.

    • Avoid using Retin-A, glycolic acid, or any anti-aging products on your lips for at least one week before the procedure.

  5. Cold Sores

    • If you are prone to cold sores, consult with your doctor about taking antiviral medication 2-3 days before the procedure to prevent an outbreak.

  6. Avoid Sun Exposure

    • Protect your lips from sun exposure and avoid tanning for at least one week before the procedure to prevent irritation and sensitivity.

  7. Health Considerations

    • Ensure you are in good health for the procedure. Reschedule if you are feeling unwell or have an active cold sore or infection.

Lip Blushing Aftercare Instructions

Following these aftercare guidelines will help support proper healing and ensure the best possible results.

Expect your lips to be swollen and the color to appear more intense immediately after the procedure. This is normal and should subside within a few days. Do not touch, pick, or scratch your lips to prevent infection and promote even healing.

  1. Day 1: Gently wipe your lips with damp gauze or an antiseptic wipe 3 times throughout the day. Keep your lips moisturized with the aftercare ointment provided.

  2. Starting Day 2: Rinse your lips with cool water after eating and gently pat dry. Reapply the aftercare ointment as needed to keep your lips moisturized throughout the healing process.

  3. For the first 5–7 days: Use only the aftercare ointment provided on your lips. Avoid lipstick, lip gloss, lip balms, creams, or any other lip products until your lips are fully healed.

  4. Avoid spicy, salty, and acidic foods for the first few days, as they may cause irritation. Use a straw for beverages to minimize contact with your lips, and avoid whitening mouthwashes during the healing process.

  5. Avoid direct sun exposure while your lips are healing. Once fully healed, use a lip balm with SPF to help protect and maintain your color.

  6. Avoid exfoliating or using harsh scrubs on your lips for at least 30 days after your appointment.

Additional Notes

    • Initial healing typically takes 7-10 days, but full healing and color settling can take up to 4-6 weeks. Expect some color fading, and a touch-up may be necessary for the desired effect.

  • Results:

    • The final color may vary depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and adherence to aftercare instructions.
