🌸 Thinking About Lip Blushing? Here’s What You NEED to Know Before Your Appointment.
✨ Precare is crucial for best results and smooth healing.
🔹 Cold Sores?
If you’ve ever had a cold sore (even just once), it’s essential to take antiviral medication (like Valtrex) 3 days before your appointment and continue for a few days after.
👉 Lip blushing can trigger an outbreak, which may affect healing and pigment retention. Always consult your doctor for the correct dosage.
🔹 General Precare Tips:
✔️ Exfoliate lips gently and keep them deeply hydrated in the days leading up to your session.
✔️ Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners 24 hours before.
✔️ Stay well-hydrated for plump, healthy lips by increasing your water intake.

💋 What to Expect During Healing?
➡️ Day 1-2: Lips look bold, bright, and swollen. Colour is very vibrant at this stage.
➡️ Day 3-4: Peeling begins. Lips feel dry and flaky. Colour will look lighter and patchy as dead skin sheds.
➡️ Day 5-7: Peeling subsides. Colour appears very soft and light.
➡️ Weeks 3-6: True healed colour reveals itself. Lips will look more natural, even, and enhanced.
📝 Remember:
Proper precare + aftercare = best healed results.
