FAQs about Lip Blushing
What is Lip Blushing?
Lip Blushing involves a lip tattoo that enhances and defines your lips. It can improve and balance natural lip color or add pigment if needed. Initially, your lips may appear darker, resembling lipstick, but they will gradually soften during the healing process, resulting in a subtle, natural-looking lip tint. A touch of gloss or balm enhances the final look.
How Long Does It Last?
Results vary, but typically, after the initial session and touch-up, the effects can last between 2-5 years. Additional touch-ups may be necessary based on individual factors and desired results.
What to Expect?
Does Lip Blushing Hurt?
Pain levels vary, and a strong medical-grade topical anesthetic cream is applied before and during the procedure for a pain-free experience.
How Long Does the Procedure Take? What Should I Expect?
The procedure takes about 2 hours, with a significant portion dedicated to consultation and preparation. Numbing cream is applied for 20-30 minutes before starting the process.
Will I Still Have to Wear Lipstick?
The choice is yours. Lip colors used are natural and designed to look subtle. Lip Blushing enhances your natural color, making it compatible with various lipstick shades.
Can Lip Blushing Be Done on Anyone?
Lip Blushing is not suitable for everyone; careful consideration is necessary. Factors such as previous cosmetic tattooing, smoking, autoimmune diseases, and certain medical conditions may affect eligibility.
