Lip Blushing Pre-Care Instructions

To achieve optimal results from your lip blushing procedure, it's essential to prepare adequately. Please follow these pre-care instructions:

  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

Proper aftercare is crucial for achieving the best results and ensuring the longevity of your lip blush. Follow these aftercare guidelines carefully:

  1. Initial Healing

    • 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.

  2. Avoid Touching

    • Do not touch, pick, or scratch your lips to prevent infection and promote even healing.

  3. Cleaning

    • Gently cleanse your lips with a soft, damp cotton pad or cloth twice a day. Avoid using harsh cleansers or products containing alcohol.

  4. Moisturize

    • Apply the recommended healing ointment or balm 3-5 times a day to keep your lips moisturized and support the healing process.

  5. Avoid Makeup

    • Refrain from applying makeup, creams, or other lip products on the treated area until fully healed, usually around 7-10 days.

  6. Sun Protection

    • Protect your lips from direct sunlight. Once healed, use a lip balm with SPF to maintain the color.

  7. Avoid Exfoliants

    • Avoid using exfoliants or harsh scrubs on your lips for at least 30 days after the procedure.

  8. Dietary Precautions

    • Avoid spicy, salty, and acidic foods and drinks for the first few days, as they can irritate your lips. Use a straw for beverages to minimize contact.

  9. Monitor Healing

    • If you experience excessive swelling, redness, or signs of infection, contact your artist or a healthcare professional immediately.

Additional Notes

  • Healing Process:

    • 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.
