If you have fungal conditions, please treat it with your doctor prior to your appointment.  
Please moisturize your lips with a fresh tube of Aquaphor for lips frequently prior to your appointment. The softer your lips are, the better your results will be.

Pat the lips with a damp cotton round every 5 minutes until all of the oozing stops for the first hour. You may use bottled water, distilled or sterile water. 
After the first hour, every time your lips get dry, you should apply ointment frequently. Ointment should be kept at your bedside and applied before bed and when you wake up. Keep them continually moisturized daily for 10 days.  
Do not pick, peel, scratch, or bite off shedding skin until it fully falls off itself.   
Avoid makeup on the area for 14 days.  
If you lose our ointment, buy a&d or Aquaphor. Please don’t use products from home that are opened due to cross contamination.  
Use a straw for drinking beverages including red wine but avoiding red wine may be best. 
Avoid drinking hot beverages and eating spicy foods.

The lips are a wear and tear area and they change tone due to temperature, environment, and touch. The full color appears after 8 weeks due to the nature of the tissue.
