Pre & Post Care
For Your New Lips!
Pre-Treatment
Especially to prevent bruising!
Our injectors take great care to inject with a gentle touch to help prevent any bruising, and while rare, the lips in particular are a bit more sensitive and are more prone to bruising than anywhere else! How can you help prevent bruising?
Before Treatment:
-
Stop taking non-doctor ASA/Motrin/ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Ginko Bilbo, Ginseng products 7 to 8 days prior to injection
-
No garlic or alcohol 2-3 days pre-treatment
-
Stop taking any non-doctor Prescribed Fish Oils
-
If you're prone to Cold Sores, LET US KNOW!
-
Increase your Pineapple (or Pineapple Juice) intake, it contains Bromine which inhibits bruising!
-
Pick up Arnica, a natural OTC supplement or gel that inhibits bruising!
Post-Treatment
Let's Protect Your Investment!
The filler needs 2 weeks to permanently affix itself to your natural lip structure, during that time:
-
No Heavy Kissing
-
No Straws
-
No 50 Shades of Grey Play
-
No lip massage (especially if you do bruise!)
-
No excessive sun or heat until any initial swelling and redness have resolved.
-
If you have swelling, apply cold compresses to the treatment area for 5-10 minutes every hour.
...and NEVER be afraid to call or text us with questions!
