Your filler cost a fortune. The first week decides how it looks.
Escin, arnica and calendula. Built for the days your lips can take the least.
Calms that tight, stinging feeling from the first use
Escin, arnica and calendula, for the redness and tightness that follow
Horse chestnut escin. Check your pharmacy gel — it isn't in there
Sinks in fast. Nothing sticky under your makeup
Your lips can't look after themselves. Literally.
Fewer oil glands than the rest of your face
The rest of your face makes its own protective film. Your lips make far less of one — they can't really moisturise themselves. And they're in constant motion, and the first thing anyone looks at.
A procedure doesn't change any of that. The needle disturbs tiny vessels below the surface, blood and fluid move into the tissue, and your lips have nothing of their own to speed it up.
A drugstore balm was made for skin that copes on its own. Arnica gel was made for bruises on legs. Neither was made for this.
This was never a one-week problem. It's just the week you finally noticed.
The one ingredient the pharmacy doesn't sell you
Arnica is in every cheap gel on the shelf. We won't pretend otherwise — it's in ours too. But arnica alone isn't a reason to pay more.
Escin is. A compound from horse chestnut seeds, studied for its effect on the strength and integrity of tiny capillary walls — precisely the ones a needle disturbs.
Go and read the label on your pharmacy gel. No Aesculus hippocastanum means no escin.
And jojoba: technically a liquid wax ester, not an oil, and so close to your skin's own lipids that it sinks in instead of sitting on top. Which is why there's no reason to stop using it once the bruising goes.
The first week. And every one after it.
We won't tell you how fast your bruising will fade. That's your body and your injector. What we can tell you is when to start and how to use it.
When you're scared to touch them
A cool metal rollerball instead of your fingers. It glides — no pressing, no hands near freshly treated lips. Start the moment your practitioner says you can.
When you're back out in the world
Two or three times a day. It sinks in fast enough to put makeup straight over, and quietly enough that nobody asks what you're wearing.
When the bruising is a memory
It becomes the oil you reach for daily — instead of gloss, or under it. And when you're back in the chair in six months, it's already in your bag.
