As well as 2 weeeks following the appointment to reduce risk.

We don’t perform this procedure on anyone who is under 18 years of age.

How Can I Prepare for my Appointment?

Before your lip blushing appointment it’s important to avoid alcohol, Aspirin, and Ibuprofen because they cause bleeding during the procedure. FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT, avoid excessive tanning and any lip filler treatments.
