•Stop using any Retin-A or Retinols.

•Botox and fillers should be performed 3-4 weeks before or after your treatment.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you have a history of cold sores you'll need to contact your physician to start taking an anti-viral prescription (Valacyclovir, Denavir (penciclovir), Valtrex or acyclovir (Zovirax)), at least a week BEFORE your proposed procedure.

Cold sore outbreaks are often triggered by stress or trauma to the lips and skin. Therefore if you are a carrier, lip blush will likely cause an outbreak if you do not take an anti-viral medication prior.
