** it's difficult to chat throughout the appointment (though I always have lots to say) so music, podcasts & meditations... encouraged! We can listen to any requests - except true crime, if that's what you're into - you're welcome to have headphones!
pre-appointment prep
- exfoliate & moisturize your lips regularly in the 5-7 days before & a good scrub day of & keep them moisturized
- if you've ever had cold sore or herpes, ask your physician to prescribe 400mg of Acyclovir or Zovirax pills & take it 2 times a day 1 day before and 5 days after procedure. I also reccomend can taking the vitamin L-Lysine ongoing (if you don't already, start to the week prior - through the 5-6 week healing
- please no alcohol, drugs excess caffeine within the day prior to appointment
aftercare
- you will likely have some swelling, immediately following & within the following 24-48 hours, this is normal!
- your lips will also be at their darkest for the first 1-3 days, but will fade naturally up to 60% most significantly through the stages of scabbing & shedding (do. not. pick. during this phase)
- the swelling, shape & colour may not be uniform during this time & will change fairly consistently during healing. it's best to allow for 10 days - 2 full weeks to asses the final look. we have the 6-8 week touch up for adjustments need be!
- avoid hot foods (temperature & spice) during first few days of healing (this will likely be uncomfortable regardless!)
but, of course please stay nourished & hydrated! you can eat & drink as soon as you're hungry & thirsty.
- if you are experiencing a lot of swelling, an antihistamine or ibuprofen may help
- very gently wash your lips with very light cleanser during usual face-wash times & continue to keep hydrated with simple balm
- limited touch otherwise! no picking scabs or dryness & no exfoliating.
