LIP BLUSHING

Picture


Blushing is a cosmetic tattoo of the lips where micro-fine pigment is deposited into the lips using ultra-fine needles to create an enhanced shape, definition, illusion of fullness and natural looking color to your lips. It can also be used to cover blemishes or irregularities in lip color. This process does not make the lips fuller as injectables would, but they will look slightly fuller as we enhance your natural vermilion border, perfect for those who want a more defined lip shape, fullness and symmetry. At the end of your appointment, the immediate look will not be the end result. The lips will appear much brighter and vibrant than the healed results will be. You can expect your lips to heal about 50% lighter. 
Lip blushing requires a 6 - 8 week touch up appointment, after which your lip blush should last you 2 - 3 years until needing another session to maintain the color and shape.

lip blushing after care

  • Your lips will appear very dark and bright, but will gain a more tinted natural look once they are healed!
  • Please refrain from exercising for at least 5 days after your service.
  • Starting on day 1, please use sterile water and cotton gauze to wipe the affected area. Keep your lips moist at all times, Aquifor or A+D ointment is recommended!
  • By day 4 most of the peeling should be completed. Your lips will feel dry and chapped, keep moisturized!
  • After the scabs come off, the color will appear soft and almost ‘frosty’ looking but the color will come back little by little every day for 28 days. Keep moisturized!
  • Do not pick, peel, or scratch your scabs, and no makeup until the scabs are gone!
  • Avoid spicy foods or direct contact with foods and drinks for the next 2 days and use a straw when drinking liquids!
