What to know prior to your appointment:
For clients with any history of cold sores/fever-blister/herpes, even if it was when you were a child, contact your physician and request a prescription for Zovirax, Valtrex or Famvir. Please take precaution and still take the medication even if you are unsure if you’ve had cold sores/herpes in your life.
Take 2 days before the procedure, the day of your procedure and 2 days after the procedure as directed and repeat on all visits.
- Dentures, braces and tongue piercings may increase risk of bacterial infection.
- Fatigue can also increase risk of infection; please be sure to be well rest and drink plenty of water days prior to your appointment.
- If you’ve had any kind of lip surgery, please consult with your physician first.
- Lip fillers/injections must be done at least 4 weeks BEFORE your lip blush appointment.
