Lip Blush
What is Lip Blush?
Lip blush is the newest semi-permanent trend that enhances the natural lip shape with a boost of symmetry and color. It is an extremely popular treatment that defines lip contours and adds a natural flush to your lip color. This treatment delivers very natural results once healed. Pigments are available in all different shades to match all lips to provide a subtle color that enhances the natural lip color and camouflages scars, paleness or unevenness.
How long does Lip Blush last?
Lip blushing can last between one to three years depending on the client's body, skin type and lifestyle. Smoking and sun exposure can speed up the fading process, and if you’re oil-prone, have an iron deficiency or use a lot of exfoliating products in your skin regimen, the pigment could fade more quickly, too.

After-Care
Avoid eating & drinking for at least 2 hours after your appointment. Do not drink tap water.
Rinse your mouth with antiseptic mouthwash at least 4 times a day until you are done healing. Be sure to rinse after eating/drinking.
Do not eat spicy, oily, acidic or greasy foods. Do not stretch lips to take large bites.
Once shedding begins, do not pick, peel or pull the skin.
Do not use saline water as it will cause ink to be pulled from the skin.
Apply ointment several times a day for 10 days to keep lips moisturized. Do not rub- dab.
Avoid getting lips wet. Apply the ointment before brushing teeth.
Do not use any soaps/chemicals on your lips. Be careful when washing your face. Use a washcloth to better control any liquid substance.
Use a minimal amount of non-whitening toothpaste. Use a straw when swishing water.
Do not expose lips to direct sunlight/tanning beds. Since this is new skin, it’s prone to sunburn, which could change the color and cause scarring.
Do not smoke or kiss for at least 10 days.
Keep your hands clean and avoid touching your lips until they are done healing.
