Lip Blushing Aftercare

Swelling is normal after the procedure. After you leave, we recommend that ice packs be applied for 10 to 15 minutes each hour for the first 4-8 hours following the procedure.

FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS:

The treated area can only be cleansed using the provided antiseptic wipes. The treated areas should be cleaned 3 times a day, morning, afternoon, and evening. No water or other cleansers can be used for any reason. A very thin layer of Vitamin A&D ointment should be applied consistently throughout the day to the treatment area using a fresh Q-tip (do not use mineral oil or petroleum-based products such as Vaseline.) Applying too much ointment can lead to fading, so a thin layer goes a long way. This will keep the area moist and accelerate healing. Do not let the area dry out and crack, keep it moist at all times. Do not pressor rub when applying ointment.

*Apply an extra heavy coat of ointment to the treated area only before bathing, washing of adjacent areas, and immediately upon rising in the morning. When brushing teeth for the first five days, use a minimal amount of toothpaste. Toothpaste and mouthwash are considered “soap” and will remove the lip color. Clients should avoid all prolonged outdoor sun exposure for the first 30 days. Any prolonged sun exposure will lead to a premature loss of color or can cause a change in color of the fresh pigment.

FOR THE FIRST 7 DAYS:

• Do not touch, bite, lick, pick, peel, tamper, scratch, rub, injure, or remove the peeling in any way; if you do, you will experience a loss of color.

• Do not let any water, lotion, soap, or makeup touch your lips.

• Use a straw when drinking liquids.

• Avoid biting into foods that might cause friction to the lips: no spicy or super-hot food and drink.

• No foreign body fluids.

• No physical activity that causes extreme sweating.

• Do not use any lipstick or cosmetics on or near the treated area.

FOR THE FIRST 14 DAYS

• No hot sauna, swimming pool, hot bath/shower, sun tanning, tanning salons, Vaseline, Neosporin, or any petroleum-based products, no massage, facials, waxing, threading, laser, or skin treatments.

• Do not expose the area to dirty or unsanitary conditions. Try to avoid being in dusty places.

FOR THE FIRST 30 DAYS:

• Do not use products containing alcohol, tonics, or tonics based on lactose and fruit acids, retinol acids, glycolic acids in the treatment area.
