Are you tired of constantly reapplying lipstick throughout the day?
Do you struggle with uneven lip color or fading lipstick?
Do you wish for naturally flushed and fuller-looking lips without the hassle of makeup?
If so, then lip blushing might be the answer you have been looking for!
Lip blushing is nothing but a cosmetic tattooing technique that involves depositing pigment into the lips with a mechanical needle in order to enhance the natural shape and color of your lips. Unlike traditional lip tattooing, which aims for a more defined and opaquer look, lip blushing creates a softer, more natural appearance by adding a tint of color to the lips. This cosmetic procedure can be used to correct uneven lip shape, add fullness, and provide a semi-permanent solution for those looking to enhance the appearance of their lips. The pigment used in lip blushing is typically semi-permanent and fades over time, usually lasting around 2-3 years depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
Before undergoing lip blushing, it is essential to ensure that your lips are healthy, soft, smooth, and well-hydrated. You will need to prep your lips by regularly applying lip scrub and lip balm.
Experts advise against lip blushing if you are pregnant or nursing, prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation/hypopigmentation, taking Accutane, steroids, or blood-thinning medication or having cold sores.
Your lip blushing appointment will begin with a thorough consultation. During this consultation, your artist will discuss your desired outcome, goals, and available options. They will then outline the shape of your "new" lips.
Additionally, your artist will custom-create a unique shade for your lips, considering your natural pigment and desired appearance. After finalizing the shape and color, the procedure will commence.
The tattooing process typically lasts 1-2 hours. Beforehand, a topical anesthetic is applied to the lips to numb them for approximately 20 minutes. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, your artist will use a mechanical gun to apply the pigment to your lips. The discomfort during the application is usually low to moderate, feeling like small pinpricks on the skin.
After the procedure, you might experience redness and swelling on your lips. If needed, you can apply ice or cold compresses. Over the following week, your lips will heal, but you may notice some scabbing during this time. It's important not to pick at the scabs, as doing so could lead to scarring and uneven tone.
Experts advise against consuming caffeinated products, alcoholic drinks, and blood-thinning medications for at least 72 hours before the procedure. Additionally, you should refrain from getting lip fillers for at least 2 weeks prior to your lip blushing appointment.
The cost of a lip blushing procedure typically ranges from $500 to $1,500 per appointment, depending on your location.
The remarkable procedure not only enhances the color of your lips but also defines their shape, giving them a slightly fuller appearance. One of the best aspects of this procedure is its complete safety, making it suitable for all skin types when performed by a qualified and experienced professional.
