  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners (e.g. aspirin, Advil, fish oil) 24–48 hours before

  • No tanning or sun exposure on the face for 2 weeks prior

  • No Botox or fillers in the area 2 weeks before

  • For lips: begin taking Valtrex 3 days before your lip blush appointment if you’re prone to cold sores (prescription required, please contact your family doctor)

  • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the area being treated

Aftercare

  • Clean the area with mild soap and apply a thin layer of healing ointment twice daily

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 4 weeks

  • No exercise, sweating, swimming, spas, or makeup for 5 days

  • Keep the area moisturized for 5 days to minimize flaking

  • Do not apply lotions, deodorants, or makeup on the day of your appointment

  • Avoid spas, steam rooms, or saunas for 72 hours

  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and discomfort

  • Avoid exercise and sweating for 48 hours

  • No retinoids, acids, or peels for at least 1 week
