LIP BLUSHING

Avoid blood thinning supplements such as Fish oils, Vitamin E, Ginseng, Green tea and Medications such as Aspirin, Midol, Advil, Motrin and Aleve. These supplements/medications should be discontinued 7 days before your treatment and 1 day after.

Don’t drink alcohol 48 hours prior and caffeine 24 hours prior to your appointment.

If you have a history of Cold sores, You will need to contact your Pharmacy for a prescription of Valtrex as Lip blushing can trigger an outbreak. It’s recommended to take one dose of Valtrex the day of your appointment and then three days following.

Please make sure your lips stay well-hydrated the week leading up to your appointment. This can be done by gently exfoliating the lips with a white sugar/olive oil mixture homemade 2-3x the week before your appointment and lots of chapstick or lip moisturizer.

What to expect immediately following your Lip Blush procedure:

Intensified colour and swelling are part of the initial stages of healing. Swelling will subside in 12-24 hours post-treatment.

The intensity of colour should regress within 3-4 days. The sensation can be comparable to that of a slight burn and minimal flaking may take place. Refrain from removing the flakes/dryness as you may run the risk of removing pigment in the process - it’s very important to keep the lips heavily hydrated. The true vibrancy of your cosmetic tattoo will fade about 30-40% from what you walked out with revealing a soft and natural blush tone.
