Post-Care Instructions for Your Lip Blush Treatment

Proper aftercare is essential to achieving the best results. It’s important to follow these instructions closely, as post-care accounts for 60% of the final healed result. Keep in mind that it takes 6-8 weeks for the color to fully develop, and during this time it is completely normal for the lips to appear faded or patchy. Do not stress; the full result will emerge after the healing period.

With proper aftercare, your lips will last up to 3 years. For optimal maintenance, I recommend colour-boosting touch-ups every 1-2 years to maintain definition and vibrancy.

Immediately After Your Appointment:

• Numbing will wear off within an hour.

• Swelling will subside within 2 hours, and the rest will be gone in 24 hours.

• Caffeine, alcohol, and blood thinners are fine to resume after the appointment.

• Avoid spicy and citrus foods for the first 24 hours.

First 7 Days:

• Keep lips dry: Avoid getting your lips wet when showering, brushing your teeth, or washing your face. It’s crucial to avoid water pressure directly hitting your lips.

• Aquaphor is your best friend: For the next 7 days, the only product to apply is a thin layer of Aquaphor (morning, evening, and throughout the day). No other products or makeup should touch the lips (this includes shampoo, conditioner, face wash, and lipstick).

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your body and lips hydrated.

• Avoid:

  • Sauna, steam rooms, and intense studio workouts.

  • Excessive sweating and exercise.

  • Picking or touching your lips—let them heal naturally.

  • Swimming pools and hot tubs

Next 2 Weeks:

• Avoid Botox in the lip area.

Next Month:

• Avoid sun exposure and solariums to prevent pigment fading.

• Avoid light and laser therapy on the lips.

• Do not use chemical peels or fruit acids.

• No lip injections until 4 weeks post-lip blush treatment.
