Procedure Preparation Instructions
Lip blushing is a modern cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the lips by adding color, definition, and fullness. It is a form of semi-permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation.
It gives the effect of a tinted lip balm when healed, giving also a beautiful symmetrical shape and definition to your lips.
It can disguise and camouflage lip scars.
We offer a variety of different colors to choose from as well to achieve your desired color.
Whether your lips are faded in color, have no shape, uneven lips, hyperpigmented, discolored, looking dull, tired of wearing makeup, or have a scar. All of these are perfect reasons to get a Lip Blush treatment.
This is a semi-permanent solution to enhancing your natural beauty. Adding color back into your lips brightens your overall appearance and also give a youthful look. It adds the illusion of fullness/volume to your lips and obtain a perfect defined shape. A beautiful even shape with a color of your choice that wont smudge off or be eaten away through out the day.
​
Make your every day routine easier by waking up looking ready and done up. No more hassle with your makeup, no more worrying if your lips will wipe off through out the day, in pools, on the beach, on vacation, showering, etc.
​
If you are prone to cold sores we highly advise to obtain cold sore preventative medication from your doctor to avoid any outbreaks during the healing process.
The permanent makeup requires two sessions to complete.
The initial procedure is $600, a non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to book and reserve your appointment which goes towards the procedure.
The second session is $100, this session is needed to perfect the healed results for any faded areas and possible changes/additions desired to the Lips.
​
After the completed sessions you may return 1+ years in the future to refresh the pigmentation, refresh price varies depending on the time frame you return.
CONSULTATION (15 MIN)
Upon arrival, we'll have you fill out a consent form followed by discussing your preferences, lifestyle, what you are looking to achieve, and your concerns. We’ll examine your concern with your Lips and ask you a few questions about your daily routine. You’re welcome to to bring any reference photos you may have to express your ideal look and we’ll discuss your shape preferences and pigment color. We'll get into the details of how the healing process will be and the aftercare instructions. This is also the perfect time to ask any questions that you may have.
​
LIP OUTLINE MAPPING (30-45 MIN)
Using a few measuring tools and facial guidelines, we’ll custom design a shape outline that’s best proportioned to your facial features for your lips. Precision and balance is key during this time. We may ask you to smile, talk and laugh so we can see how your mimic muscles move. We’ll both review the design and make any adjustments necessary. We double check at the end through an application processor for symmetry, once the design is approved we will begin!
​
PROCEDURE (1.5-2 HOURS)
Your transformation begins! We will provide and ask you to put on protective dressing. If necessary, for your comfort you will be numbed throughout the procedure and you will be laying down still for the entire procedure. We advise to refrain from talking during the procedure as we want to preform the best quality work possibly without any shifting/interference. We'll let you know at the end when your procedure is completed for the big reveal!
​
AFTERCARE
We will review after care instructions and what to expect for the next following weeks again with you and provide you with an aftercare kit that includes an instruction card and everything you’ll need for the initial healing period of 10 days.
