Lip Blush

 

LIP BLUSH 

Lip Blush is a semi-permanent technique using a tattoo machine to apply soft pigments to the lips. Lip blush helps to enhance the natural colour, shape of the lips and to create more definition. 

This technique lasts 2-3 years. 

Please note, this is a natural lip stain and does not replace lipstick.

TREATMENT 

Initial treatment takes 3hrs in duration. Perfecting touch up takes 2hrs in duration.

Please note: Children under the age of 18 are legally not permitted in the room.

LIP BLUSH PRECARE

Days prior to receiving the lip blush tattoo treatment it is recommend to:

  1. Stay hydrated. 
  2. Exfoliate your lips 
  3. And keep your lips Moisturised. 

Cold sores - important!

If you suffer from cold sores (even just once) you must take an antiviral medication including:

  • Leading up to your appointment- Lysine 
  • On the day of your appointment- famvir (3 doses) 

In the case of an outbreak:

  • Prescription within 48 hours- GP prescribed 
  • Topical creams and patches are recommended.

If you have had a cold sore you have the herpes virus living dormant in your system. Lip Blush does not cause cold sores but the injury done to your lip tissue can cause a cold sore outbreak.  

AVOID:

Clinical skincare & facials 

A break from vitamin c serums, retinoids, and glycolic treatments, and chemical peels at least 2 weeks prior to your session and 2 weeks after. Any products that cause skin regeneration are magical of course, but not great for cosmetic tattoos. These serums should not be used on the lips during the healing process and you should avoid direct use to the lip tissue once healed as well. 

Caffeine 

No caffeine 24 hours, do not drink alcohol or take blood thinning medication 24 hours before appointment. This is actually a MAJOR step in preparing to have your lips tattooed, and also the most ignored. Its crucial to follow this step because these substances can cause much more sensitivity while being tattooed as well as cause you to bleed and bruise while being tattooed, which will directly effect your healed results. 

Lip filler and Botox 

Please wait 6 weeks after lip blush to receive fillers. (or 6 weeks prior). Botox should be done 2 weeks prior to tattoo appointment or 2 weeks after lips are completely healed.

Medications & blood thinners

Ibuprofen & fish oil 

Roaccutane/Acutane

Please wait 1 year after using Acutane to receive a lip blush treatment. 

Laser Treatments

Laser Treatments must be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after Lip Blush Tattoo.

Lip blush x filler in combination 

Lip Blush and Lip Filler are actually an amazing combo together. While Lip Filler gives you outward volume, Lip Blush gives you definition, colour, and a subtle & natural lip definition. The two together are the ultimate lip duo.
