Hydration
Drinking enough water before the treatment procedure is important as hydrated lips improve the overall condition of the lips, reducing the chance of poor healing and increasing the likelihood of the desired effect.
Lip Blush Aftercare
Lip Blush, or Semi-Permanent Makeup (SPMU), has expanded both the beauty industry and the aesthetics industry, creating long-lasting solutions for the enhancement of our facial features. One of the most popular forms of SPMU treatment is lip blush, which is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that involves depositing pigment into the lips to enhance their colour and shape.
This treatment can achieve a natural-looking tint to the lips, not only creating a more defined appearance, but giving the effect of “natural” makeup look every day. However, unlike regular tattoos, the pigment used in lip blush is designed and created to fade over time, typically lasting anywhere between one to three years. This allows for a subtle, natural look which can be described as a ‘tinted balm’ effect.
Pre-treatment Advice
Makeup
Ensure that you arrive to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin. This is to reduce the chances of infection.
Moisturise
Lips should be moisturised regularly and generously at least 3 days before treatment. The condition of the lips can affect healing results as dry, chapped lips will retain pigment poorly.
What to Expect After Lip Blush Treatment
Immediately after treatment, your lips will appear more vibrant and swollen. The initial colour will gradually soften into the original desired shade in the weeks following treatment as the lips heal.
Swelling and Redness
Initial swelling, redness, and tenderness should subside within a couple of days.
Dryness
As the lips heal, the skin will peel and flake – this should subside after the lips are healed.
Itchiness
Itchiness is normal. Avoid scratching is this will affect the healing process and the desired results.
