Stop using Retin-A, retinols, glycolic acid, and chemical exfoliants on the treatment area at least 4 weeks before.

Discontinue Accutane for at least 1 year before treatment.

Arrive with clean, bare lips (no lipstick, balm, or gloss).

Remove all eye makeup before your appointment.

Bring your glasses instead of wearing contact lenses during the procedure.

Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.

Do not touch, scratch, or pick at scabs or flakes—this can cause pigment loss and scarring.

Avoid makeup, skincare products, and cleansers on the treated area until fully healed.

Keep out of direct sun, tanning beds, saunas, pools, hot tubs, and gyms for at least 10–14 days.

Avoid sweating heavily during the healing period.

Avoid brow makeup until fully healed.

Lips may feel swollen or tight for 1–2 days. Lip color will be it's darkest on day 2. 

On day 3, keep lips moisturized with the provided ointment—apply a thin layer regularly to prevent dryness.

Drink liquids with a straw for the first few days to avoid moisture exposure.

Avoid hot, spicy, or salty foods for the first couple of days—they may sting and interfere with healing.

Expect peeling or flaking around days 3–7. Do not pick.

Use a new, clean tube of lip balm or lipstick after healing to avoid infection.

For clients with a history of cold sores: continue prescribed antiviral medication as directed to prevent an outbreak.

Expect slight swelling or puffiness for 1–2 days; apply a cool compress (clean cloth, no ice directly on skin) if needed.

Do not wear mascara, lash serum, or eyeliner until fully healed.

Avoid rubbing or tugging on eyelids.

Keep the lash line dry—no water, cleansers, or oils until healed.

Avoid lash extensions, lifts, or tinting for at least 4 weeks.
