WHAT IS LIP BLUSH?

Lip Blush adds color to our lips while creating symmetry. It defines the natural contours of the lips. Using an automatic hand-held machine, pigment is inserted into the skin. It is a multi-step process that can enhance lip shape & color. Results vary.

PRE-PROCEDURE INSTRUCTIONS

No blood-thinners, no aspirin, niacin, ibuprofen, Advil, vitamins, Retin-A products, caffeine, alcohol.
No working out. Avoid sweating. No sauna, tanning, sun-burned face.
Discontinue use of AHA (chemical exfoliation).
No chemical peels, dermabrasions, mesotherapy, or laser treatment.
Lightly exfoliate up to 3 days prior to appointment.
Keep lips moisturized leading up to your appointment.

Note: You will be more sensitive during your menstrual cycle.

*If you have any questions concerning medical conditions, please consult your doctor & bring a doctor's note. (Failure to follow these instructions will affect the outcome of your skin & blood on the day of your appointment. For the best results, please follow accordingly).

THE PROCEDURE

A topical numbing aesthetic will be applied. Your lips will be shaped to your liking. The entire process can take 1.5 - 2 hours to ensure quality.

HEALING PROCESS

Healed results vary. Your lips should be fully healed 6-8 weeks after the procedure. The following is an example of what to possibly expect during the healing process:

Day 1-3

Lip color will appear brighter then may darken temporarily.
Lips may be swollen and feel tender. You may apply ice in a ziploc bag to the lips.
Apply ointment several times a day, keeping lips moist at all times.
Apply a clean paper towel to the lips to remove any lymph.
No kissing, rubbing or friction on the treatment area.

Day 3-14

Scabbing, peeling, flaking will occur for a week or less.
Lips may feel dry and the color may appear much lighter than normal or expected.
Color may fade 30%-50% lighter than the immediate results.

Week 3

You may return to normal routine.
More color may surface as lips continue to officially heal.
It is crucial to keep lips moist to achieve optimal results.

TOUCH UP

A touch-up is done 6-8 weeks after lips have healed completely. This ensures color quality! If there are any sparse areas or if you’d like more intense or bold lips, then that can be addressed during the touch-up. The number of touch-ups a client may need to achieve desired results varies.
