Post-Procedure Care Instructions (Lips)

💋 LIP BLUSHING AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

✨ Follow these steps carefully to ensure the best color retention and smooth healing. ✨

---

🔹 IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE (DAY 1)

• Gently blot your lips every 15–30 minutes with a clean tissue to absorb lymph fluid.
• Do NOT let lips stay wet – keep them dry and clean.
• Apply a thin layer of the recommended healing ointment every few hours (do NOT over-apply).
• Expect lips to appear dark, bold, and swollen — this is temporary.

---

🔹 DAYS 2–7: PEELING STAGE

• Do NOT pick, peel, or rub your lips as they flake or scab — let it shed naturally.
• Continue applying a thin layer of aftercare ointment 3–5 times a day.
• Avoid the following:
  • Kissing or touching lips unnecessarily
  • Spicy, salty, oily, or acidic foods
  • Hot beverages (let them cool first)
  • Alcohol and smoking (can delay healing)
  • Makeup or skincare products on the lips
• Use a straw when drinking to minimize moisture.

🔹 DAYS 8–14: FADING PHASE

• The color may appear very light or patchy — this is NORMAL.
• Do NOT panic. Pigment will gradually return over the next few weeks.
• Continue using a lip balm or healing ointment to keep lips hydrated.
• Avoid exfoliation or lip treatments.

🔹 WEEKS 3–6: COLOR BLOOMING

• Your natural lip color starts to reemerge and soften.
• True color results develop slowly and can take up to 6 weeks to fully stabilize.
• Stay hydrated, eat well, and protect your lips from the sun.

---

🔹 WEEKS 6–8: PERFECTING STAGE

• Time to assess your results.
• Book your touch-up session (if needed) to refine the shape or adjust the tone.
• Long-lasting results depend on aftercare, skin type, and lifestyle.

🚫 WHAT TO AVOID FOR 2 WEEKS

• Sun exposure / tanning
• Saunas, steam rooms, and excessive sweating
• Pools, hot tubs, and saltwater
• Chemical peels, laser treatments, or exfoliants near the lips
• Using products with retinol, glycolic acid, or strong actives around the mouth

• Keep lips moisturized and hydrated.
• Avoid smoking for better pigment retention.
• Schedule annual refresh sessions to maintain color.
