The procedure can take around 1.5-2 hrs.

Some clients have reported feeling nothing, whilst others report feeling some discomfort. I use two different numbing creams on your lips. One before the procedure starts and a stronger one after completing the first part of the procedure. Lips may appear swollen once the procedure is complete. Once the numbing cream wears off, they may feel tender. An aftercare kit is provided for you to take home. 

Lip blush takes approximately 3-4 days to heal. During that time you may experience some dryness, flaking and peeling as the lips naturally exfoliate. The colour will change throughout the healing process, settling into its true shade. 

Day 1: Swelling, tenderness, high colour intensity
Day 2: Swelling subsides, dryness starts, colour is much darker
Day 3-4: Scabbing, peeling, very dry
Day 5-6: The colour looks lighter, but may still be dry
Day 7-10: The colour looks very light
Day 28: The colour has settled into its true shade

After your initial procedure, you will be booked for a follow-up appointment; approximately 6 weeks after. This allows time for your lips to heal and the pigment to take. Your follow-up appointment is treated as a top-up session. I will assess how the colour has taken to your lips and perfect the overall look. A colour boost appointment will be required approximately 12-18 months after your follow-up appointment.

Lip blush usually lasts around 12-18 months, depending upon the individual. This can depend on aftercare and lifestyle. Spending lots of time in the sun or smoking can cause lip blush to fade faster. The skincare regime you use can impact how long lip blush lasts, using lots of exfoliating products could fade the pigment more quickly. Having dry or overly oily lips can also affect the speed at which lip blush fades. 

Lip blush is suitable for most, but all clients must be over the age of 18. It can be particularly good for older clients as the lip’s natural pigmentation fades with age.
