LIP BLUSH
Lip blushing is a cosmetic procedure that involves inserting pigment into the upper layers of the skin, also known as the epidermis. Results vary between 1 to 3 years. Annual refreshers are recommended to keep color looking fresh and defined.

Saving time on makeup application
Provides long-lasting, natural-looking results that require minimal touch-ups, making it a convenient option for many people
How it works:
A tattoo machine is used to deposit pigment into the epidermis
Create a custom color while considering natural skin tone and undertones
Topical lidocaine is used to numb clients before and throughout the procedure
Pigment is strictly placed on the lip skin with 1 to 2mm leniency (typically done to correct asymmetry). Lips don’t have pores the way facial skin does, so too much over-lining can heal unpredictable and darker.
What to expect:
The lips will be swollen immediately after the procedure. Typically within two hours, the majority will naturally subside
Lips may be blanched immediately post procedure. Numbing products work by restricting the blood flow to the area. This can cause certain areas of the lips to appear lighter or a white color. Give your body about an hour for the lidocaine to fully wear off and watch the color slowly set in and become darker
Minimal flaking may occur as you heal, apply Aquaphor consistently throughout the day
Pigment is darkest days 1-3, but will fade to the desired shade as the lips heal
Procedure length typically takes 1-2.5 hours including numbing time, forms, and consulting
6-8 weeks after your appointment, the skin will be fully healed & you may return for your FREE touchup
Aftercare cards will be given at the appointment to take home and thoroughly explained. Aftercare is the same after any and every appointment, hold onto your card if possible
