LIP BLUSH
LIP BLUSH $475
Lip blush is a cosmetic tattoo that helps correct the shape and colour of your lips. It can be used to create a fuller looking lip, even out the natural lip colour, and create definition. It is done by using a permanent makeup machine to create a thin outline around the lip, and then is softly shaded in. It is fully customizable. You can have a more natural colour to enhance your lips, or select a rich/bold colour to create a lipstick appearance.
Prices do not include GST.
Before your Appointment:
Your lips cannot be dry for the appointment. If they are dry we will need to reschedule and you will forfeit your deposit. You may exfoliate 3 days before your appointment to remove any dry skin. You can use a gentle lip scrub. For the week leading up to the appointment you must moisturize your lips as much as possible (I recommend using aquaphor).
DO NOT consume alcohol, caffeine or take any blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen). If you are on a doctor prescribed blood thinning medication please continue to use it.
Cold sores are a risk of lip blush tattoo. If you have had a cold sore in the past- we advise you to go to the doctor for an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure, to help avoid an outbreak. Even if you have not had a cold sore before, it is recommended to take an anti-viral medication.
After your Appointment:
Lips will feel swollen and very dry after your treatment. Apply aftercare on lips several times a day. This should be done for at least 14 days post treatment. Do not allow lips to become dry. This may interfere with healed color. During the day if lips feel dry, apply a liberal amount of aftercare. Just tap on skin and do not rub in.
Immediately after your appointment, the skin on your lips will begin the healing process. That starts by producing lymphatic fluid. If left on the lips it will cause scabbing and flaking. Please use a damp paper towel to wipe this away to prevent it from forming a scab on the lips.
Always use a clean Q-tip, not fingers to apply aftercare to the lips area. This will reduce the risk of infection.
After lips are no longer tender to the touch they may become flaky. This is normal and is expected. Please do not pick or scratch at them. This may significantly reduce the amount pigment absorption. Avoid the sun and tanning beds pre and post procedure. Be sure to use a sun block once lips are healed. Do not use any Glycolic, Hydroxy or fruit acid products on lips. Avoid direct water pressure, pools and other bodies of water, until healed. You can resume wearing lipstick once lips are healed. Redness, swelling, tenderness, dryness are all common post treatment side effects and will dissipate in a short period of time. Avoid oily, salty, acidic foods and alcohol while healing.
Lips heal in three stages: Too dark - Too light - Just right. This takes 6-8 weeks to happen. It is recommended to have a touch up within 3 months for optimal healed results.
