Lip blushing, also known as lip tattooing or lip micropigmentation, involves the application of pigments to the lips' surface to enhance their color and shape. Unlike traditional permanent makeup, lip blushing provides a more subtle and natural-looking result. The technique can be tailored to your preferences, allowing you to achieve the perfect shade and definition for your lips.

Lip blushing offers several advantages, including the durability of lip color over time, heightened pigmentation ideal for pale or aging lips, the option to tailor your preferred lip shade, achieving fuller lips without resorting to injectables or surgical procedures, improved lip symmetry, and effective color correction for scars and uneven pigmentation.

Consultation: Begin with a goal-oriented discussion to determine your desired lip color and style.

Customization & Mapping: Your artist will outline your chosen lip shape and create a customized lip color.

Numbing: A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment, to ensure comfort during tattooing.

Pigment Application: Your artist will use a tattoo machine to deposit pigment for natural, long-lasting lip color.

Immediate Results: Color will appear intense at first and settle naturally over the following days.

While lip blushing is generally safe, it may come with some temporary side effects, including:

Swelling and Redness: Mild swelling and redness at the treatment site are common and typically subside within a few days.

Tenderness: The lips may feel tender and sensitive immediately after the procedure.

Reactivation of Cold Sores: If you have a history of cold sores, you may experience an outbreak triggered by the lip blushing process. Consult with your physician prior to treatment to start an antiviral regimen to prevent an outbreak.

Peeling: Some clients experience mild peeling during the healing process as the skin regenerates.

Color Variation: The initial color may appear darker than desired but will fade to the intended shade during the healing process.

To ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects, follow these post-care instructions:

Keep Lips Hydrated: Apply a recommended lip balm to keep your lips moisturized during the healing process.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your lips from direct sunlight and use SPF lip balm when outdoors.

No Makeup or Lip Products: Refrain from applying makeup or lip products for the first few days post-treatment.

Avoid Skin Irritants: Stay clear from using any exfoliants, retinols, or acids near the area for the first 30 days.

Avoid Hot and Spicy Foods: Steer clear of hot and spicy foods during the initial healing period to prevent irritation.

Be Patient: Allow your lips to heal naturally, as the final color and result will emerge gradually.
