A semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that enhances the beauty of your natural shape, corrects asymmetry, gives more definition and the illusion of fullness by depositing pigment into the lips. Lip Blush tattoo typically lasts between 1-3 years depending on various factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Yes, you certainly can! Lip blush is 100% tailored to the individual based on your desired results. The colour can be as subtle or as vibrant as you like! A follow up session is required 6-8 weeks post initial appointment, due to the way the body reacts to and retains pigment, to ensure the colour is just right for you.

Long lasting lip colour Increased pigmentation for pale and ageing lips Fuller looking lips Enhanced lip symmetry and refined lip shape Colour correction for scars and uneven pigmentation

It is perfectly fine to get both lip blush and filler together. It is important to keep in mind that you must have had your lip filler completed at least 4 weeks prior to your lip blush appointment to prevent any migration. If you proceed with lip filler after your appointment, it is advised you wait 2 weeks post lip blush treatment. This is to ensure that the lips have the right amount of healing time to prevent any potential reactions.

Depending on desired results, generally an initial session and a perfecting session (6-8 weeks post initial treatment) are required. Like most cosmetic tattoo procedures, very rarely do clients heal perfectly from 1 session alone.

A topical anaesthetic (numbing) is applied prior to and during the procedure to assist in minimising any discomfort. Some clients have even fallen asleep during treatment, so don't panic!

The colour is always vibrant & intense directly after the session, however when this heals it will become up to 80% lighter in a weeks time. The entire healing process usually takes 1-2 weeks. During this time you can expect some swelling, tenderness and peeling. Avoid activities such as swimming, hot tubs & saunas.

A specialised treatment series for those with cool or melanin rich lips (brown, purple, blue). The aim is to use colour theory technique to even out the lips. To neutralise the pigmentation on the lips we will need to use a warm colour in the first session. This will heal and correct the dark areas. Once your lips are completely healed, we are then able to apply the desired colour at the touch up session. Depending on the level of hyperpigmentation, a minimum of two sessions is required. This is a semi-permanent procedure & will fade over time, touch ups are required to maintain the result. The colour will heal up to 60% lighter than the result on the day of treatment, we must make the pigment mixture vibrant, so it is strong enough to heal well. It is very common for neutralisation clients to experience hyperpigmentation for 1-2 weeks post appointment and will begin to lighten from 4 weeks post lip blush.

Drink plenty of water - keeping hydrated prior to treatment will leave your lips plump which will result in greater colour retention. Moisturise and exfoliate the night before your appointment so your lips are smooth and perfect to work on. Sugar scrubs and lip masks are a perfect combination!

No blood thinning medication - aspirin, midol, exedrin, NASAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Naproxen & Aleve).

Photos of your lips - please send through clear photos in natural light prior to your appointment so I can assess the condition of your lips. Bring in your favourite lipstick or liner if you have a specific colour you’re wanting to achieve.

It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure.

As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.

If they are too dark or still a bit uneven after 4 weeks, then we will make adjustments during the touch up appointment. Colour change or colour loss.
