What to expect during your lip blush appointment?

Getting lip blush is a popular way to enhance the natural beauty of your lips. This semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing procedure involves adding a subtle, natural-looking tint to the lips that can last for several years. If you're considering getting lip blush, it's important to understand the process and what to expect during the procedure.

First, you will need to schedule an appointment with us so we can go over your consultation. During the consultation, we will assess your lips and discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure. We will also help you choose the right color that complements your skin tone and desired outcome.

We will begin by mapping out your lip shape to enhance your natural lip borders. Once you approve the shape and color mixture we will begin the tattooing session by numbing your lips with a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during the procedure. We will then use a small, handheld tool to create tiny deposits in the lips and apply the pigment layer by layer until the desired color and shape are achieved. The entire process typically takes between 2.5-3.5 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the individual's tolerance for the process. Complimentary ice packs are available upon request.

After the procedure, your lips may be swollen and tender for a few hours. It's important to follow the our aftercare instructions carefully to ensure the best possible results. This typically includes keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding touching or picking at the lips, and applying a healing ointment as directed. An aftercare kit is included after every session.

The full results of lip blush typically take about 6-8 weeks (8-12 weeks for darker lips) to fully develop, as the color will settle and fade slightly over time. You may need to schedule a touch-up appointment a few weeks after the initial procedure to ensure the color and shape are perfect. This is done after your first session. A touch up is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED because lip color do tend to fade faster than brows since we are constantly using our lips to eat, drink, kiss, etc.

In conclusion, getting lip blush is a safe and effective way to enhance the natural beauty of your lips. By understanding the process and what to expect, you can make an informed decision and achieve beautiful, long-lasting results.
