What’s Included

Complimentary Consultation.

All initial appointments include a complimentary consultation prior to the procedure to discuss any questions you may have and goals for the procedure. We also welcome complimentary consultations- even if you’re not ready to book a service quite yet - for those who have any further questions, concerns, inquiries, or for anyone with previous work done to their lips.

Design + Shaping.

Color is determined upon clients desired healed results and on skin undertone, most clients bring in their favorite lipstick for this part! For clients with dark lips or hyperpigmentation, neutralization is always the first step in color determination. Concealer is then used to outline the natural shape of the lips, only outlining around lip skin and vermilion borders.

After discussing your aesthetic goals, arriving at a perfect color and shape, and prepping, we use our expertise to perfect your lips by inserting a natural-looking pigment into your lips using small needles. This is done in multiple layers to help create an even tone. Our numbing process beforehand ensures you’ll be as comfortable as possible throughout.

Lip Perfection.

To maintain your beauty investment, you’ll receive thorough post-care instructions and follow-up communication for touch-ups as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Concealer is used to outline the natural shape of the lips, only outlining around lip skin and vermilion borders. Color is determined upon clients desired healed results, most clients bring in their favorite lipstick for this part! For clients with dark lips or hyperpigmentation, neutralization is always the first step in color determination. It is important to note that every color is mixed based on skin undertone and your artist will help determine this if you’re unsure.

  • Lip blushing is done with the use of a permanent makeup machine similar to a tattoo machine.

    Since the lip skin is softer and more delicate compared to the rest of the face, lip blushing requires more passes to get to the desired color or shade.

  • Lips will be heavily swollen, puffy and very bright in color immediately after lip blushing. After a day or two you will start to see the lips go down in size and color will lighten drastically over the course of healing.

  • Yes! Lip filler and lip blushing go hand-in-hand for beautiful healed results. However, lip filler and lip blushing appointments should always be no less than 4 weeks apart from each other!

    It’s important to determine if you’d like to get lip filler or lip blush done first. Dissolving filler after lip blushing has been performed, can result in the tattoo not aligning with the natural shape of the lips, this is because lip injections alter the shape and size of the lips.

  • Due to the nature of the lip tissue, lip blushing is more sensitive than other procedures. However, strong numbing topicals are applied before and during the entirety of the service!

  • Yes, lip blush is possible even on deeply wrinkled lips.

    Lip blush can be done if you have scars on your lips, but not all scars heal the same and can sometimes reject the tattoo.

    Lip blushing is not recommended for clients that scar or keloid easily in the lips/face.

  • Lip neutralization is the same process as lip blushing but it’s for clients with darker pigmented lips and/or hyperpigmentation. This is only performed in the dark areas in the lips as needed, therefore mapping is not included in these appointments. Once lips are neutralized, the lips will be mapped and shaped accordingly.

  • Lip skin holds onto tattooed color very well, results can last 2 to 3 years after secondary touch up.

    Usually clients will notice long lasting results after the secondary touch up is completed. Lips will remain softer and lighter in color after healed, and they continue to get lighter as time goes on. Yearly touch ups are always recommended to keep the tattoo fresh.

  • How well prep & aftercare is followed, skin type, diet, hormones, lifestyle!

  • MUST BE at least 18 years old

    Must NOT be pregnant or nursing

    Procedure cannot be performed during cold sore outbreak.

    Always consult with your physician before taking medications you are unsure of.

    Viral medication is highly recommended for those with AND withOUT a history of HSV1 or cold sores, chicken pox, and/or fever blisters. This is recommended to everyone because the HSV1 virus can lay dormant on the lips until triggered, and the lip blushing procedure can trigger a cold sore outbreak.

    Recommended viral medications are L-lysine, Valtrex, Zovirax, and Famvir. This medication is taken 5 days BEFORE the lip blushing procedure at 3x a day, continuing five days AFTER the procedure at 3x a day to prevent potential cold sore breakouts.

    DO NOT drink ALCOHOL or CAFFEINE the night before, and day of appointment to avoid bleeding and discomfort!

    Refrain from sweat inducing environments and activities such as exercising, saunas, steam rooms and/or hot tubs the DAY OF procedure as well as 7-12 days after procedure.

    Unless medically necessary, stop taking blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and vitamin E for 48 to 72 hours before your appointment. Please discuss with physician before changing or reducing prescribed medication.

    Refrain from lip filler, lip flip, and botox around lips and chemical treatments for 4-6 weeks before and after lip blushing appointments.

    NO sun or bed tanning for 3-4 weeks prior to the procedure.

LIP BLUSH

Post-Care Instructions

At the end of your appointment, you will receive detailed instructions to take care of your investment to ensure proper healing and retention.

  • DO NOT drink with bare lips, only drink with (clean) straws

    DO NOT smoke anything for 2 weeks to avoid infection

    Only allow lips to get wet during cleaning

    Keep lips moisturized with Aquaphor or A&D ointment.

    NO makeup, chapstick/lip balms, creams or liquids, including water on lips. ONLY Aquaphor or A&E ointment allowed on lips until healed.

    For the first couple of days, use a cotton round and wipe hard to remove lymph fluid build up.

    NO kissing

    NO salty or acidic/citrus foods

    DO NOT touch unless using clean fingers or cotton swab to apply aftercare cream

    Clean lips lightly before bed and after waking up by using antibacterial soap, make sure to remove lymph fluid buildup. This step is crucial for sanitation and desired results.

    Stop cleaning/wetting the lips once fluid has stopped leaking.

    Once lips start to scab, STOP applying Aquaphor to prevent premature healing. When scabs peel off, the color in the affected area stops healing, and can result in patchiness.

    DO NOT pick scabs, cut the scabs if needed with tiny clean scissors
