WHAT IS LIP BLUSH?
​
Lip Blush is a form of Semi Permanent makeup, cosmetic tattooing, this
procedure is achieved by depositing pigments in your lips by using a small needle. It is a cosmetic enhancement.

With the help of permanent makeup it is possible to de-emphasise age lines around the lips and correct the fading of your natural lip colouring. The colour is customised to every client to achieve the desired effect.

If you've never had any lip tattoos/blush applied before, consultations are not required.

PRE-CARE ADVICE
In order for your new lips to heal properly and look their best, these pre-care instructions are of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE. Pre-care instructions are designed to limit bleeding and skin sensitivities during the treatment. Excessive bleeding during procedure can dilute the pigment colour and lead to poor results. Your skin must be in its best condition.
Please plan your procedure with your schedule/vacations/events! DO NOT schedule when you have an incoming event that
conflicts with healing. You will need 5-7 days heal.
No alcohol for 48 hours before procedure.
No caffeine on the day of procedure.
Avoid Vitamin E, fish oil, prenatal vitamins 48 hours before procedure.
No aspirin/ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure.
Eat before the procedure, since you want normal blood sugar levels for any tattooing procedure.
Lightly exfoliate lips a once a day 3 days before service with a light sugar scrub.
Use moisturiser often on your lips in the days prior to the procedure to maintain smooth texture.
Botox and filler on the forehead, temple and eye area should be avoided 1 month prior.
AFTERCARE
DAY OF TREATMENT​
​
Avoid hot drinks and any food/drink that contain strong food colouring to prevent any staining on your lips.

Gently wipe over your lips 3 times a day with sterile water and a cotton pad. This removes the lymph fluid to help prevent scabbing and speed up your healing process.
DAY 1 - 7
Apply ointment at least 3 times a day, or as many times as you need for 1 week, to help keep lips hydrated. Apply a small amount of ointment on the lips before brushing your teeth for the first 2 days to avoid any irritation.

If you suffer from coldsore virus you can ask GP for Valtrex/Acciclovir medication.
IMPORTANT INFO
If you have a history of cold sores you'll need to start taking an anti-viral prescription (Valacyclovir, Denavir (penciclovir), Valtrex or acyclovir (Zovirax), at least a week BEFORE your proposed procedure. Cold sore outbreaks are often triggered by stress or trauma to the lips and skin. Therefore if you are a carrier, lip blush will likely cause an outbreak if you do not take an anti-viral medication prior. Your appointment WILL be cancelled if you have had a history of cold sores and do not follow this instruction (with cancellation fees). This is because cold sores will effect the healing/results and can even lead to scarring. So please do not skip this step, you will be happy you didn't and have better results.
