Lip Blush Post-Treatment Advice

First 24 Hours

1. Blot the Lips – Use a clean tissue to gently blot your lips every 30 minutes to remove excess lymph fluid. This prevents heavy scabbing.
2. Apply Aftercare Balm – Use a clean cotton swab to apply a thin layer of an approved aftercare balm (avoid petroleum-based products).
3. Avoid Touching – Do not touch your lips with unclean hands to prevent infection.
4. No Water Contact – Avoid getting your lips wet (no drinking from cups without a straw, no licking lips).

Days 2-4: Light Peeling Begins

1. Keep Moisturized – Apply a thin layer of aftercare balm 3-5 times a day to keep lips hydrated.
2. No Picking or Peeling – Let any scabs flake off naturally. Picking can cause patchy healing.
3. Stay Away from Heat & Steam – Avoid hot drinks, spicy foods, and steam from showers, as they can irritate the lips.

Days 5-10: Peeling & Color Fading

1. Lips May Feel Dry – Continue applying a thin layer of aftercare balm, but do not overapply.
2. Color Will Lighten – The pigment may appear faded or patchy, but this is normal; it will resurface over the coming weeks.
3. Avoid Scrubbing & Exfoliation – Do not use any lip scrubs or harsh products.

Days 10-14: Healing Completes

1. Lips Will Look More Natural – The color will begin to settle, but full healing takes up to 6 weeks.
2. Resume Gentle Lip Care – You can start using a mild lip balm (non-medicated, fragrance-free).
3. Continue Avoiding Sun Exposure – UV rays can cause fading, so wear SPF lip balm when outdoors.

Aftercare Tips for Long-Term Results

✔ Use SPF Lip Balm Daily – Prevents premature fading.
✔ Stay Hydrated – Helps keep lips plump and pigment-rich.
✔ Avoid Acidic/Exfoliating Lip Products – Retinol, AHA/BHA, and vitamin C can fade the pigment.
✔ Schedule a Touch-Up (6-8 Weeks Post-Procedure) – Ensures color retention and even results.
