Before Care

You need to have smooth healthy lips to get the best result from your lip blush treatment. Unlike most areas of your body your lips contain no oil glands and can not generate their own hydration. 

• Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water, dehydration can effect the lips. 

• Use a lip scrub up till the day before your appointment if you are prone to dry lips, this will gently remove any dry skin and hydrate your lips.

• If you are prone to cold sores (herpes simplex) it is advised to use an oral anti herpes medication for a week before and a week after your appointment. You can get this from your GP or on Pharmica.co.uk. this will control an outbreak.

• Do not exercise the day of your procedure.
