Lip Blush Aftercare Instructions
To help your lips heal beautifully and retain the best color results, please follow these aftercare guidelines carefully:
Right After Your Treatment
- Gently blot lips with a clean tissue to remove any fluid.
- Apply the healing ointment provided several times a day to keep lips consistently moisturized.
- Avoid kissing, rubbing, or any friction on the treated area.
During Meals
- Avoid oily, spicy, or heavily seasoned foods.
- Use a straw for all beverages to minimize contact with lips.
- After eating, rinse lips gently with water, pat dry with a clean tissue, and reapply ointment.
Avoid for 14 Days
- Intense physical activity or sweating
- Smoking
- Swimming, hot tubs, saunas, or hot baths
- Sun exposure and tanning beds
- Chemical peels, Retin-A, glycolic acid, or laser treatments near the lips
- Picking, peeling, or scratching the area
- Makeup on the lips
- Excessive alcohol, which may slow healing
Healing Timeline
Day 1: Lips may be swollen, tender, and very bright in color—this is normal.
Day 2: Swelling typically decreases, but dryness and tenderness may increase. Continue applying ointment and avoid touching the area.
Days 3–7: Natural peeling begins and finishes. Color may lighten by 30–50%. Do not pick at flaking skin—let it shed on its own. Keep lips well-moisturized.
Week 2: Peeling should be complete. Lips will look lighter, and normal routines may resume. Healing continues below the surface for several more weeks.
Weeks 6–8: Full healing is complete. A touch-up may be needed to perfect shape and color.
