Aftercare Guide

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best results for your lip blush treatment. Following these steps will help with healing, colour retention, and overall comfort.

Immediately After Treatment

It is normal for your lips to appear slight swelling, redness and scab slightly in the first few days. You should expect to have a stronger colour than expected. This is completely normal and will soften over the next few days.

First 24-48 hours

  • Gently blot lips with a clean tissue to remove excess lymph fluid.

  • Keep lips clean and avoid touching them with unwashed hands

  • Apply the recommended healing balm regularly to keep lips hydrated.

Days 2-7 (Healing Phase)

  • Expect light scabbing or flaking - do not pick or peel.

  • Continue apply aftercare balm to prevent dryness.

  • Avoid spicy, salty, or acidic foods that may irritate the lips.

  • Drink through a straw where possible to minimise contact.

Things to avoid During Healing

  • No kissing or friction on the lips.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and saunas.

  • Do not use makeup or skincare products on the lips until fully healed.

  • Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and excessive sweating.

After Healing (Around 7-14 Days)

  • The colour will appear lighter and more natural.

  • Lips may go through a “faded” phase before the true colour resurfaces.

  • Continue using the lip balm with SPF to protect your results.

Long Term Care

  • Keep lips hydrated daily.

  • Use SPF lip products to prevent fading.

Important Notice

Healing varies from person to person. If you experience swelling, prolonged discomfort, or signs of infection, consult your practitioner or a healthcare professional.

SIGNS OF INFECTION:

  • Swelling and Redness

  • Warm to the Touch

  • Pain/Tenderness

  • Discharge - Pus coming from the wound

  • Feeling unwell or have a high temperature.

    It is important to contact your artist or seek medical attention if you develop any of these symptoms to rule out an infection.

REACTIONS:

Reactions can occur due to pigment dyes and cause redness and swelling but usually disappear after 2-3 weeks.

AFTERCARE FOR SWELLING:

  • Apply an Ice Pack

  • Do not pick or scratch

Please discuss any inflammation with your artist. Avoid using fragranced products that might irritate the skin and avoid wearing makeup. Ensure your pillowcase is clean or cover with a clean towel each night until healed.
