What it treats
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo service that enhances the color and symmetry of your l.ips. The lip blush can be mixed to match the client’s desired color, providing a natural or more dramatic look. Lip blushing is also helpful in providing a more hydrated appearance to the lips, due to the color enhancement.
How it works
Lip blushing can be done to enhance the overall appearance, shape, and color of the lips. Lip blushing can also be done to even out the shape of the natural lips. It is safe to receive lip blushing while having lip filler, but it is recommended to receive filler first in order to follow the proper shape of the lip.
Side effects and downtime
Follow all aftercare instructions thoroughly. Failure to do so may result in loss or discoloration of the pigment. Treat the area as an open wound. If discomfort occurs, apply a cold compress. For 6 days avoid UV rays, saunas, hot steamy showers, jacuzzis, and hot tubs. Do not touch, scratch, pull, pick, or peel the lips or scabs as they protect the lip color. It is important to avoid makeup, sleeping on your face, opening the mouth wide, and getting the lips wet for 3 days. To increase longevity and preserve the blushing, it is recommended to avoid exfoliating scrubs, Retin-A, glycolic acid, chlorine pools, chemical peels, and direct sun exposure.
