What is Lip Blushing?
Lip blushing is a form of semi-permanent makeup. Essentially, it is a cosmetic tattoo of the lips that enhances the beauty of the natural lip color, improving the shape of the lips, giving definition and the illusion of fullness.
About lip blushing
Lip blushing gives lips a gorgeous, barely-there flush without the lifetime commitment of a traditional tattoo. The perks of lip blushing include:
✨ Long-lasting lip color
✨ Increased pigmentation for pale and aging lips
✨ The ability to customize your lip shade
✨ Fuller-looking lips without need for injectables or surgery
✨Enhanced lip symmetry
✨Color correction for scars and uneven pigmentation
What is healing like?
The healing process for Lip Blush takes approximately 3-5 days. In that time you may experience some dryness and texture until the lips naturally exfoliate themselves. But it take about a month for the tissue underneath to heal completely and for the pigments to settle.
Prior to your treatment it is very important to start moisturizing your lips a few days before/exfoliate them. The more moisturized the lips the easier to deposit of the pigment. No alcohol or caffeine 48 hours before.
DAY 1 – Swelling, tenderness, and high color intensity DAY 2 – Less swelling, more tenderness, and a lot of dryness ‼️Don’t touch your lips! If you pick at the scabs, your lips will heals patchy.‼️
DAYS 3 AND 4 – Heavy peeling and dryness
DAYS 5-10 – Some more minor peeling and color ghosting 🎨let’s talk Color The color has faded significantly – so significantly, in fact, you may think the treatment didn’t work. Don’t start panic-texting asking for a color boost – this is a normal part of the lip color healing process. The color will re-emerge and take its final shade within 6 weeks. That’s the process of pigment settling and there’s no way to speed it up.
NEUTRALIZATION/Dark Lips may require a few sessions. May go through multiple phases. Color can still full settle until 17 weeks.
NOTE: If you’ve ever had cold sores, or herpes, you’ll need to take an antiviral medication before and after the treatment. The tattooing can cause a cold sore flare up, which can disrupt the lip tattoo healing process. Consult your GP
