Description
AfterMED Lips is an advanced, medical-grade lip aftercare treatment developed by AfterMED Skin to support recovery and comfort following aesthetic lip procedures. Designed specifically for post-lip filler, lip blush, lip dissolving, microneedling and other medical or cosmetic lip treatments, this 100% natural, vegan-friendly balm soothes, protects and accelerates healing.

Featuring a clinically backed blend of plant-derived ingredients including Arnica, Kahai Oil, Colloidal Oats, Coconut Oil and Jojoba Oil, AfterMED Lips deeply nourishes and hydrates the lips, supports the skin barrier and promotes faster recovery. Packaged in a hygienic airless pump and manufactured in the UK under ISO22716 and ISO9001 standards, it is registered on the CPNP and SCPN and insured for post-surgical procedures across the UK and EU.

- Can continue to be used as a nourishing lip treatment even after visible side effects have resolved, to maintain hydration and comfort.
- Patients should avoid touching the lips with unwashed hands and avoid picking at any scabs or dry skin during healing.
- Avoid applying other potentially irritating products (strong acids, retinoids, perfumed lip products) over the treated area until healing is complete.
- If being used in conjunction with other prescribed topical treatments, follow the practitioner’s instructions on order and frequency of application.
- Discontinue use and seek medical advice if signs of infection or significant irritation occur (increasing redness, heat, pain, discharge, or rash).
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the listed ingredients, including plant oils (e.g. Coconut, Kahai, Jojoba, Sunflower), Arnica, Oat-derived ingredients, Menthol, or fragrance components.
- Not suitable for individuals with nut allergies, as Kahai (Caryodendron Orinocense) is a nut-derived oil and cross-contamination cannot be fully excluded (as stated by the manufacturer).
- Active infections, cold sores (herpes simplex) or severe inflammatory lesions on or around the lips, unless cleared for use by a healthcare professional.
- Broken, ulcerated or severely compromised lip tissue beyond that expected from the aesthetic procedure, unless advised by a clinician.

- Not intended for ingestion; avoid use in young children unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
Adverse Effects
- Mild transient tingling, cooling or stinging sensation on application due to menthol and active ingredients.
