Preparing for a Lip Blushing Session
To ensure the best results and a smooth experience, follow these steps before your lip blushing session:
Consultation and Patch Test
- Schedule a consultation with your permanent makeup artist in San Diego to discuss your desired outcome and any concerns. During this consultation, a patch test will be performed to help prevent adverse reactions and familiarize you with the procedure.
Lip Care
- Exfoliate and Moisturize:
- Use a lip scrub 3-4 nights prior to the treatment and again on the morning of the appointment to ensure smooth lips.
- Apply a thick coat of lip balm, especially before the procedure, to maintain youthful suppleness and moisture.
- Hydrate:
- Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day to keep your lips and skin hydrated.
Avoid Certain Products and Activities
- Vitamin C Serums and Retinoids:
- Avoid using these products for at least 2 weeks prior to and after the procedure, as they can cause skin regeneration and affect the healing process.
- Alcohol and Caffeine:
- Refrain from consuming alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours before the appointment to minimize sensitivity and bleeding during the procedure.
- Blood-Thinning Medications:
- Avoid taking blood-thinning medications for at least 1 week before the appointment to prevent excessive bleeding.
- Facial Treatments:
- Avoid facial treatments like BOTOX, LASER, FILLERS, CHEMICAL PEELS, and COSMETIC SURGERIES for at least 1 month prior to the appointment to prevent complications.
- Sun Exposure and Tanning:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks prior to and after the procedure to prevent premature fading of the pigment.
Health Considerations
- Cold Sores:
- If you have a history of cold sores, take an anti-viral medication prescribed by your doctor for 5 days (2 days prior, 1 day of, and 2 days post-procedure) to prevent outbreaks.
- Menstrual Cycle:
- Be aware that getting a procedure during your menstrual cycle can make the treated area more sensitive.
- Accutane:
- Ensure you have been off Accutane for at least 1 year before the procedure.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure a successful and comfortable lip blushing experience in San Diego.
