Lip Blush
+ What is Lip Blush?
Lip Blush is a semi-permanent procedure that enhances the natural shape of the lips. The improved technique is minimally invasive and uses a single needle rotary machine to gently implant the custom pigment into the skin. The benefits of receiving this treatment includes improving the overall shape, correcting or camouflaging of color, and/or creating more definition to the lips. Lip Blush does not enhance the volume or make the lips bigger.
The initial appointment will take approximately 4 hours depending on the lip’s measures and retention from the pigment. First time appointments include in depth consultation, shaping and drawing, and the procedure.
+ How Long Does it Last?
It can last anywhere from 2 to 3 years after completing the necessary sessions. Every client's retention will vary due to many factors such as lifestyle, skin care regimen, exposure to the sun, etc.
+ Does It Hurt?
Though the sensation of micro-pigmentation is minimal, all clients will respond to pain differently. To alleviate possible discomfort, a strong topical anesthetic will be applied before and during the procedure. Please do not take any blood thinners such as Ibuprofen and Asprin 72 hours before. Tylenol can be taken 30 minutes before your treatment without any contrainidications.
