Lip Blush Aftercare Instructions

Please follow these steps carefully to ensure the best healing results.

​

Day 1: Immediately After the Procedure

  • Gently blot lips every 15–30 minutes with a clean tissue to absorb lymph fluid.

  • Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor every few hours to keep lips moisturized.

  • After eating, gently wash lips with antibacterial soap, pat dry, and reapply Aquaphor.
    → This prevents buildup of food particles and bacteria, which can cause infection or poor healing.

  • If swelling occurs, apply a clean cold compress or ice pack (wrapped in a paper towel) for 5–10 minutes as needed.

  • Avoid touching lips with unwashed hands.

 

Days 2–5: Peeling Phase

  • Lips will darken, then begin to peel — this is normal.

  • Do NOT pick, rub, or peel flaking skin — this can lead to scarring and pigment loss.

  • Keep lips moisturized with Aquaphor.

  • Avoid seafood for at least 5 days (to reduce risk of allergic reaction while healing).

  • Avoid spicy, salty, and acidic foods.

  • Use a straw when drinking.

  • No kissing or lip-to-lip contact.

  • No makeup or skincare on the lips.

 

Days 6–10: Healing Continues

  • Lips may look patchy or faded — this is temporary. Final color will settle gradually.

  • Continue applying Aquaphor as needed.

  • Avoid sun exposure, swimming, saunas, and sweating.

 

DO:

  • ​​Use a clean pillowcase.

  • Drink through a straw.

  • Clean lips after meals with antibacterial soap, pat dry, and reapply Aquaphor.
    → This prevents buildup and bacteria, which can delay healing or cause infection.

  • Use ice (wrapped) to soothe swelling if needed.

 

AVOID:

  • Picking or peeling skin.

  • Seafood (for at least 5 days).

  • Touching lips with unwashed hands.

  • Sun, heat, or tanning beds.

  • Alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours (they can increase swelling or bleeding).

 

Touch-Up Reminder

​Book your perfecting session 4–6 weeks after your initial procedure for best, long-lasting results.
