LIP BLUSH
WHAT IS LIP BLUSH?
Lip blush is a cosmetic tattoo adding colour to the lips to give definition and enhance the lips! Lip blush can also colour correct skin pigmentation and symmetry of the lips. This is a minimal pain treatment that lasts 1-2 years. Colour is evenly applied throughout the lips and there is no harsh outline. Just gloss and go!
Colour is tailored to each client. A full consultation is done on the day to discuss this, please bring pictures and ideas with you. If you have fillers you can have lip blush. It enhances the lip line that can be lost with filler! Healing takes approximately 5 days and the final colour result is usually visable in 4 weeks.

Days 1 - 7
-
Apply a Vitamin A and D ointment regularly using a cotton bud especially when brushing your teeth to prevent getting wet.
-
Apply a gentle facial cleanser with cotton pads to freshen your skin during the first week. Do not splash wash your face.
-
Clean your lips twice daily with damp cotton pads.
-
Do not pick, peel or rub your enhancement as the colour may heal unevenly and you could risk infection, which in turn could lead to scarring.
-
Your lips will be dry, allow the colour to flake away by itself.
-
No make-up should be applied close to your enhancement for 3 days.
-
Avoid eating spicy and salty foods and drink through a straw for 3 days.
-
Avoid colourful food such as curries and tomato-based foods
-
No kissing for 5 days to prevent infection.
-
Do not receive skincare beauty treatments for 5 days after the application of your enhancement.
For 2 weeks - Do not expose your enhancement to direct sun, tanning treatments, Jacuzzis, saunas, salt water, chlorinated pools and direct shower spray. Do not receive bleaching, waxing, electrolysis or laser hair removal treatments close to your enhancement.
If you suffer with cold sores at present or anytime in the past use an anti-herpes medication for example Zovirax, 5 times daily for a period of 1 week. If an outbreak does occur it will generally begin on day 3 of the healing process.
Long term use a good sunscreen as sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics. If you are planning a chemical peel, laser treatment or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your permanent cosmetics.
TOP TIPS FOR LASTING RESULTS
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember, your selected colour will be stronger and more sharply defined for 4 – 5 days and will then shed away appearing as if little or no colour is present. Over the next 2 weeks the colour will blossom into a considerably softer version of the original colour.
The approximate healing period is 14 days, however healing can be prolonged if your immune system is compromised,
if you are generally stressed and/or by poor diet.
Keep in mind that in many cases, some unevenness of colour is to be expected. This is the purpose of the control visit allowing us to fine tune your enhancement. This is included in the initial cost, however if you do not attend your scheduled control appointment you will be charged for any
further treatment. Cancellation notice is always 48 hours.
