I am prone to cold sores and have had cold sores in the past, can I still get lip Blush?

If you have a current outbreak, we will need to reschedule your appointment. You must take an ant-viral medication such as Valtrex. You can get this prescribed by your doctor. Lip Blush procedure can trigger a cold sore outbreak so it is very crucial to consult with your doctor about the prescription before proceeding. Double Strength Lysine is an over the counter supplement can reduce the chances of a cold sore. I recommend all my clients to take this 5 days before and 5 days after the procedure.

How long is the healing process?

5-7 days. You may experience swelling the first 2 days. Your lips will scab and feel chapped which is completely normal. When the scabs flake off, your lips will lighten up to 40%. You may also feel that NO COLOR HAS RETAINED. This is completely normal. Color will bloom at 6-8 weeks and show the true healed results. I ask that you do not judge the outcome of the lips until 6- 8 weeks as your body is doing its job by healing. A touchup may be needed at the discretion of the artist and can be performed at 8 weeks.

How painful is it?

A topical anesthetic will be used during the procedure. Clients have claimed zero to minimal discomfort.
