Lip Blushing is an semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that creates a youthful, fuller smile by injecting a wash colour on the surface of the lips. The technique is suitable for all skin tones and types, and is designed to enhance the natural lip tones. This technique uses a digital machine to deposit pixelated dots on multiple layers, which then heals into a soft water color effect.
Who can Benefit from Lip Blushing?
Anyone who wants to add color and brightness to their lips. This treatment is especially beneficial for those who have lost pigment along the vermillion border, which is a by-product of aging. Lips will appear thinner due to this loss. This treatment can help balance the shape of your lips by strategically applying colour.
How to choose a shade
To achieve a natural look, it is recommended that you choose a pigment which closely matches the color of your inner lips. We encourage you to bring along your favorite lipstick or gloss for your appointment. We will choose shades that complement your natural complexion while also taking your aesthetic preferences into consideration. This service is not intended to replace your lipstick but to make you feel confident and beautiful with a nice pout.
What is the process?
Before treatment begins, your technician will take Before Photos and answer any questions you may have.
First, the first step is to draw the shape. The technician will show you the design once he is satisfied that it is appealing and symmetrical. After the technician is satisfied, a topical cream will be used to ensure comfort. The technician will then mix the pigments to achieve the desired effect while the anesthetic takes effect.
The technician will start the treatment using a digital machine and a needle that is selected specifically for your skin type. It usually takes three passes to reach the desired colour saturation. The first pass is used to secure the outline and deposit a thin layer of pigment over the entire lip area. The majority of pigment is applied during the second pass, followed by a final pass to perfect the lip shape.
The swelling will be reduced by applying a cold compress. After photos will be taken soon after. This service usually takes between 2.5 and 3 hours.
A kit of instructions and an aftercare kit will be given to you in order to achieve the best possible results. The cost of this service includes a Color Perfecting Session 4 weeks after the initial treatment. This appointment usually lasts 1-2 hours. The results can last for up to two years.
Is it painful?
Combining topical anesthetics Benzocaine with Lidocaine ensures you remain comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Any discomfort is kept to a minimal. The sensation is described by most people as a light to medium pressure with a slight itch. The numbing agent can be applied throughout the entire lip blushing services in calgary.
Prepare for your appointment
We recommend that clients exfoliate their lips 3 days before the lip blushing treatment and moisturize well. Consult your doctor if you have a tendency to get cold sores and start taking an antiviral a week before the procedure. The procedure usually takes 3 hours, and the results can last up to 2 year. The cost of service includes a color boost within six weeks.
What to expect after healing and how to care for yourself
After your treatment, you will receive an aftercare kit.
The lips will look swollen on the day of treatment. The swelling can last for up to 24 hour and is usually more noticeable on lips with filler. You should gently wash your lips and apply the provided ointment before going to bed.
Days 2 to 7
Topical ointment is provided to help heal and reduce “flaking”.
Avoid hot tubs, saunas or excessive or prolonged exposure to water. Avoid intense exercise that causes you to sweat.
It is important to not pick off the flakes if the area flakes. This can cause trauma and disrupt the even processing of pigments in the skin. As the skin develops a new layer, the pigment color is still developing. The pigment may initially appear lighter, but will eventually develop into its final form.
After the first 24 hours, it is best to drink with a straw.
It is recommended that you avoid using active skincare products, exfoliants and makeup around your lips.
Although many clients are satisfied with their initial treatment, it is recommended that a colour-perfecting session be performed to strengthen the pigments in the skin and achieve long lasting results. This will also address any differences in the way the pigment heals.
