• 1 year prior: Accutane usage
• 1 month prior: Electrolysis treatments, dermal fillers in the lips, AHA skincare products, Retin A or Retinal around the lip area and chemical peels
• 2 weeks prior: waxing or laser hair removal around the lip
• 1 week prior: LIP STAINS! Make sure you moisturize your lips well every day for at least 7 days prior to your procedure. We advise drinking plenty of water to avoid lips drying out and to help with the healing process.
• 24-48 hours prior: Do not consume any blood thinners (this includes alcohol, caffeine,
  Ibuprofen and Asprin)
• We suggest using a lip scrub before your procedure to achieve better results. If lips are chapped, we will not be able to perform the lip blushing service.
• NOTE: If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex) we advise you to use an oral anti-herpes medication (for example Valtrex). Use the medication 5 days prior and 5 days after your enhancement 5 times a day to reduce the incidence of outbreaks. Lip Blushing does not cause cold sores, however, if you carry the virus, it lays dormant in the nervous system and can be aroused by the treatment process.

What to expect:

• The healing process is about 5-7 days. 
• Lips will soften about 50% when healed.
• Day 1-2: Swelling, redness, mild pain and tenderness.
• Days 3-7: Itching, and dry flakey skin is common. Some clients may experience the ghosting phase.
