If you have EVER had cold sore you must start your antiviral medication (like Valtrx) 5 days prior and continue 5 days after your appointment. Gently exfoliate & hydrate your lips daily. Exfoliate with your toothbrush or a sugar scrub. We suggest mixing sugar and coconut oil to use as a gentle exfoliator. You should avoid eating too much salty foods, and exposure to sun and wind leading up to your appointment to keep your lip skin as healthy as possible.
Avoid blood thinning supplements like fish oil, garlic, magnesium, green tea, vitamin E, ginger, ginkgo biloba, etc
24 - 48 hrs before and after your procedure
No alcohol, or blood thinning medications. Tylenol is acceptable.
On the day of the procedure
Avoid coffee & caffeine. This can cause sensitivity and increase bleeding & swelling and results in less color retention. Be sure to eat before you arrive for your appointment. Your lips will be numbed during the procedure and eating may be difficult for the first few hours after.

How do I prepare before my appointment?
Your lips will go through various phases for about 7-10 days.
You can expect swelling during and post treatment.
Luckily it does not last very long. (24-48 hours)
Day 3-5 you will experience dry flakey lips.
It feels as though they have been layering matte lipstick on.
Once the pigment flakes off it will appear as though no pigment has been retained. Over the next 6-8 weeks the color will gradually ‘bloom’ into a lovely soft shade.
Expect to drink all liquids with a straw and avoid eating salty or acidic foods for 7 days after.
No kissing on or near the mouth for 7 days to avoid bacterial or viral infections.
What can I expect after my appointment?
If you have an active cold sore outbreak, we will not be able to do the procedure until it has been treated and cleared.
If you have EVER had a cold sore in the past, it is very important that you get an antiviral medication prescribed before your appointment to prevent an outbreak from occurring. Take an antiviral (like Valtrex)b5 days prior and 5 days post procedure.
Can I get Lip Blush if I have cold sores?
Yes. Lip fillers do not interfere with the lip blush process. But, you must wait 4 weeks before and after your lip blush appointment to get fillers.
Can I get Lip Blush if I have lip fillers?
Lip Neutralization requires 2-4 sessions depending on the saturation and darkness in your lips.
Will I need more than one session?
The longevity of your lip neutralization depends on your skin, health, and lifestyle. On average your lip blush & neutralization will last 3-5 years.
