Please make sure to exfoliate your lips a week prior to appointment. You can do this at home with a drop of coconut oil and sugar to create your own sugar scrub. Dry lips cannot be worked on so it’s important to stay hydrated and to moisturize your lips daily. I recommend using Aquaphor. 

• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and sunburns 3 days before your procedure 
• No caffeine or alcohol 24 hours before your appointment
• Avoid any exercising on the day of your appointment 
• Do not take Advil or any other blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Aspirin, Niacin, Fish oil or Omega-3s for 72 hours prior to your procedure.
• If you are prone to cold sores, take an anti-viral medication 5 days before and after your appointment
