Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Lip Blush.

Lip Blush provides a natural, enhanced lip color and defined outline. Initial results appear immediately; final healed color settles in two to four weeks. Most clients see lasting tint for one to three years with a recommended 6–8 week touch-up.

Most clients report mild discomfort described as tingling or light scratching. We apply a topical numbing agent before and during treatment to minimize pain. Recovery includes slight swelling and tenderness for a few days, manageable with ice and proper aftercare.

Appointments typically take 90 to 120 minutes, including consultation, color matching, numbing, and the tattooing process. Exact time varies by lip size and desired intensity. Plan for a follow-up touch-up appointment six to eight weeks after initial treatment.

Ideal candidates want natural color enhancement or border definition without fillers. Most healthy adults qualify; contraindications include pregnancy, active cold sores, certain skin conditions, or blood-thinning medications. A consultation evaluates suitability and customized pigment selection.

Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) and alcohol for 48–72 hours prior. Stop topical retinoids and chemical peels around your mouth for at least a week. Arrive with clean, makeup-free lips and discuss medical history during your consultation.

Follow aftercare instructions: keep lips clean, apply recommended ointment, avoid picking, swimming, saunas, and direct sun for two weeks. Expect scabbing and color fading during healing; final shade emerges after several weeks. Schedule the 6–8 week touch-up for optimal results.
