Lip Blush
Pre-Care (Before Your Appointment)
To ensure the best results and a smooth healing process, please follow these pre-care instructions:
Cold Sore History
• If you have a history of cold sores, lip blush is not recommended, as the procedure may trigger an outbreak.
Preventative Care
• To reduce the risk of cold sores, clients must take an antiviral medication for 1 week before and 7 days after the procedure. We recommend:
-
L-Lysine 1000 mg
-
Cold Sore Defense
-
Or consult your doctor for a prescription.
Please note: Cold sores are a potential side effect of lip blush, even if you’ve never had one before.
​
Things to Avoid Before Your Procedure
• Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, vitamin E, niacin, or excessive alcohol for at least 48 hours before and after your appointment.
• Avoid chemical peels, dermabrasion, mesotherapy, or any intense skin treatments that speed up skin cell turnover 3–4 weeks before your procedure.
• No Botox or fillers in the procedure area less than one week prior to your appointment.
• If you have taken prescription Accutane, you must wait at least one year before getting this procedure.
Helpful Tip
• If you have a specific lip color in mind, feel free to bring your favorite lipstick as a reference!
Aftercare Preparation
Aftercare Instructions
To ensure the best healing and long-lasting results, please follow these aftercare steps carefully. We genuinely care about your results and want to help you avoid any complications, including cold sores. Please follow these steps to ensure a smooth healing process.
Aftercare Instructions
Days 1 & 2
✔ Avoid water on your lips for the first 5–6 hours.
✔ Do not eat for at least 2 hours after the procedure.
✔ Rinse your lips after every meal using Saline Sodium Chloride 0.9% to keep them clean.
✔ Use a small spoon for eating and a straw for drinking.
✔ Avoid sticky rice, beef, spicy foods, and soups for the first 2 days.
✔ Avoid exercise, steam, facials, and massages for 2–3 days to prevent irritation and premature fading.
Day 3 & Beyond
✔ When your lips begin to scab and peel, start applying a thin layer of the recommended healing ointment.
✔ If you notice scabbing or flaking, DO NOT pick or peel—let your lips heal naturally.
✔ Avoid touching, biting, or scratching your lips to prevent irritation, infection, and pigment loss.
✔ Avoid exercise for at least 2–3 days after treatment due to sweating.
✔ Do not apply lip liner, lipstick, lip gloss, cleansers, or lotions near your lips for 1–2 weeks to prevent irritation and contamination.
✔ Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and swimming pools for 1 week to prevent exposure to moisture and bacteria.
✔ No facials, no lip fillers, sunbeds, chemical peels, or strong facial treatments for 4 weeks—your skin needs time to heal.
✔ Never use anti-aging creams, chemical peels, acids, or retinol near your lips—these products can interfere with pigment retention and cause fading.

Healing Time
• Your lips should be fully healed within 4 days. Once they’ve healed, you can also try eating more oranges and pineapples —they help enhance the color and make it even prettier!
For best results, follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and long-lasting color!
-
Please note: Just like with eyebrow healing, the color may appear lighter right after they heal. But don’t worry—the full color of your lips will gradually return over the next two months!
-
The final results depend on your natural lip color at the start. For example, clients with darker lips may need 2-3 sessions to build up the color, while those with lighter lips usually achieve their desired shade more easily. If you’re happy with the color, you’re all set! But if you’d like the color to be more vibrant, feel free to come back for another session within three months.
