Lip Blushing

Service Description

Lip Blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo technique that enhances the natural color, shape, and symmetry of your lips. A soft, sheer tint is gently implanted into the lips to give a wash of color that looks beautifully hydrated and kissed-from-within — results typically last 2–3 years. Ideal for: • Clients with pale or uneven lip color • Restoring definition to the lip border • Anyone who loves the “no-lipstick lipstick” look Includes consultation, color matching, shape refinement, and one complimentary touch-up (4–8 weeks later). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT TO EXPECT Consultation, shade selection, and custom pigment mixing first. Topical numbing sits for 20–30 minutes. Two passes of pigment are deposited to build even saturation. 2–2.5 hours for the initial session. A touch-up 6–8 weeks later is included and essential for final results. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PREPARATION & AFTERCARE Before: If you've ever had a cold sore, ask your doctor for prophylactic antiviral — PMU on the lips can trigger an outbreak. No retinol or lip filler for 4 weeks pre. No blood thinners, alcohol, or caffeine for 24 hours. After: Lips will look bold and dark for 3–5 days, then soften. Keep them lightly moisturized with the balm we send home. No makeup on lips, no swimming, no saunas, no kissing on the mouth for 7 days. Avoid direct sun for 2 weeks. Final color reveals at week 4–6. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREQUENTLY ASKED Q: How long does it last? A: 2–4 years with gradual fading. Annual touch-ups keep color vivid. Q: Does it hurt? A: Numbing handles most of it. Most clients report 4/10 — lips are sensitive, and we work slowly. Q: Will it look too red? A: The initial color is always bolder than the healed result. Expect 40–50% lightening as it heals. Q: Can I pick any color? A: We stay within shades that work with your undertone. Very bold reds heal warmer, softer pinks heal cooler — we'll calibrate. Q: Can I have lip filler and lip blush? A: Yes, but not in the same month. Filler first if you're doing both, then blush 4–6 weeks after filler settles. Q: What if I have cold sores? A: Talk to your doctor about prophylactic antivirals before booking. PMU on the lips is a common trigger. Q: Is the touch-up really necessary? A: Yes — the first session lays the base, the touch-up perfects it. Results without touch-up are usually patchy.
